Contextual Overview

¹ Then Elifaz the Teimani spoke: ² "Should a wise man answer with hot-air arguments? Should he fill up his belly with the hot east wind? ³ Should he reason with useless talk or make speeches that do him no good? ⁴ "Why, you are abolishing fear of God and hindering prayer to him! ⁵ Your iniquity is teaching you how to speak, and deceit is your language of choice. ⁶ Your own mouth condemns you, not I; your own lips testify against you. ⁷ "Were you the firstborn of the human race, brought forth before the hills? ⁸ Do you listen in on God's secrets? Do you limit wisdom to yourself? ⁹ What do you know that we don't know? What discernment do you have that we don't? ¹⁰ With us are gray-haired men, old men, men much older than your father.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite,.... Or, who was of Teman, as the Targum, the first of Job's friends and comforters, the oldest of them, who first began the dispute with him; which was carried on by his two other companions, who had spoken in their turns; and now in course it fell to him to answer a second time, as he here does,

and said, as follows.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER XV

Eliphaz charges Job with impiety in attempting to justify

himself, 1-13;

asserts the utter corruption and abominable state of man, 14-16;

and, from his own knowledge and the observations of the

ancients, shows the desolation to which the wicked are exposed,

and insinuates that Job has such calamities to dread, 17-35.
