Contextual Overview

¹ Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered: ² "A wise person would not answer with empty words or fill his stomach with the hot east wind. ³ He would not argue with useless words or make speeches that have no value. ⁴ But you even destroy respect for God and limit the worship of him. ⁵ Your sin teaches your mouth what to say; you use words to trick others. ⁶ It is your own mouth, not mine, that shows you are wicked; your own lips testify against you. ⁷ "You are not the first man ever born; you are not older than the hills. ⁸ You did not listen in on God's secret council. But you limit wisdom to yourself. ⁹ You don't know any more than we know. You don't understand any more than we understand. ¹⁰ Old people with gray hair are on our side; they are even 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.
