Contextual Overview

¹Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said, ²"Should a wise man answer with windy knowledgeAnd fill his belly with the east wind? ³Should he argue with a word that cannot be used,Or with speech which is not profitable? ⁴Indeed, you annul reverent fearAnd cut off musing before God. ⁵For your iniquity teaches your mouth,And you choose the tongue of the crafty. ⁶Your own mouth condemns you, and not I;And your own lips answer against you. ⁷"Were you the first man to be born,Or were you brought forth before the hills? ⁸Do you hear the secret counsel of God,And cut down wisdom only unto yourself? ⁹What do you know that we do not know?What do you understand that is not with us? ¹⁰Both the gray‑haired and the aged are among 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.
