Contextual Overview

1 Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered, 2 "Should a wise man answer with learning that is of no worth, and fill himself with the east wind? 3 Should he argue with talk that will not help, or with words that do no good? 4 For sure you are doing away with the fear of the Lord. You are stopping the quiet worship of God. 5 You show your sin by what you say. You are trying to hide behind your words. 6 Your own mouth says you are guilty, and not I. Your own lips speak against you. 7 "Were you the first man to be born? Or were you made before the hills? 8 Were you there to hear the secret plans of God? Are you the only one who has wisdom? 9 What do you know that we do not know? What do you understand that is not clear to us? 10 Men whose hair has grown white and those who have lived many years are among us. They are older than your father.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

That thou turnest thy spirit against God,.... Not against men, his friends only, but against God himself, being filled with wrath and indignation at him; showing the enmity of his heart unto him, and committing hostilities upon him, stretching out his hand, and strengthening himself against him, running upon him, on the thick bosses of his buckler, as after expressed:

and lettest [such] words go out of thy mouth? as in Job 9:22.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

That thou turnest thy spirit - That your mind is turned against God instead of acquiescing in his dealings. The views of Job he traces to pride and to overweening self-confidence, and perhaps not improperly.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Job 15:13. That thou turnest thy spirit against God — The ideas here seem to be taken from an archer, who turns his eye and his spirit-his desire-against the object which he wishes to hit; and then lets loose his arrow that it may attain the mark.
