Contextual Overview

¹Then Eliphaz the Temanite replied:²Does a wise man answer with empty counselor fill himself with the hot east wind? ³Should he argue with useless talkor with words that serve no good purpose? ⁴But you even undermine the fear of Godand hinder meditation before him. ⁵Your iniquity teaches you what to say,and you choose the language of the crafty. ⁶Your own mouth condemns you, not I;your own lips testify against you. ⁷Were you the first human ever born,or were you brought forth before the hills? ⁸Do you listen in on the council of God,or have a monopoly on wisdom? ⁹What do you know that we don’t?What do you understand that is not clear to us? ¹⁰Both the gray-haired and the elderly are with us—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.
