Contextual Overview

¹ Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered: ² "Should the wise answer with windy knowledge, and fill themselves with the east wind? ³ Should they argue in unprofitable talk, or in words with which they can do no good? ⁴ But you are doing away with the fear of God, and hindering meditation before God. ⁵ For your iniquity teaches your mouth, and you choose the tongue of the crafty. ⁶ Your own mouth condemns you, and not I; your own lips testify against you. ⁷ "Are you the firstborn of the human race? Were you brought forth before the hills? ⁸ Have you listened in the council of God? And do you limit wisdom to yourself? ⁹ What do you know that we do not know? What do you understand that is not clear to us? ¹⁰ The gray-haired and the aged are on our side, those 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.
