Contextual Overview

¹ And Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said, ² Should a wise man answer with windy knowledge, and fill his belly with the east wind, ³ Reasoning with unprofitable talk, and with speeches which do no good? ⁴ Yea, thou makest piety of none effect, and restrainest meditation before God. ⁵ For thy mouth uttereth thine iniquity, and thou hast chosen the tongue of the crafty. ⁶ Thine own mouth condemneth thee, and not I; and thy lips testify against thee. ⁷ Art thou the first man that was born? and wast thou brought forth before the hills? ⁸ Hast thou listened in the secret council of +God? And hast thou absorbed wisdom for thyself? ⁹ What knowest thou that we know not? [what] understandest thou which is not in us? ¹⁰ Both the greyheaded and the aged are with us, older than thy 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.
