Contextual Overview

¹ And Eliphaz the Themanite, answered, and said: ² Will a wise man answer as if he were speaking in the wind, and fill his stomach with burning heat? ³ Thou reprovest him by words, who is not equal to thee, and thou speakest that which is not good for thee. ⁴ As much as is in thee, thou hast made void fear, and hast taken away prayers from before God. ⁵ For thy iniquity hath taught thy mouth, and thou imitatest the tongue of blasphemers. ⁶ Thy own mouth shall condemn thee, and not I: and thy own lips shall answer thee. ⁷ Art thou the first man that was born, or wast thou made before the hills? ⁸ Hast thou heard God’s counsel, and shall his wisdom be inferior to thee? ⁹ What knowest thou that we are ignorant of? what dost thou understand that we know not? ¹⁰ There are with us also aged and ancient men, much elder than thy fathers.

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.
