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
What knowest thou that we know not?.... Which are pretty near the words of Job to his friends, Job 12:3; and to the same sense is what follows:
[what] understandest thou which [is] not in us? in our hearts, minds, and understanding; or among us, which one or other, or all of us, have not: yet all men have not knowledge alike; some that profess themselves to be wise, and to have a large share of knowledge, are fools; and such who think they know something extraordinary, and more than others, know nothing as they ought to know; and such who have gifts of real knowledge have them different one from another; even of the things known there is not a like degree of knowledge, and particularly in spiritual things; some are little children in understanding, some are young men and know more, and some are fathers, and know most of all; an equality in knowledge belongs to another state, to the latter day glory, when the watchmen shall see eye to eye, and all shall know the Lord, from the least to the greatest, and especially to the ultimate glory, when saints will know as they are known.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
What knowest thou that we know not? - What pretensions or claims to wisdom have you which we have not? We have had, at least, equal advantages, and may be presumed to know as much as you.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Job 15:9. What knowest thou — Is it likely that thy intellect is greater than ours; and that thou hast cultivated it better than we have done ours?
What understandest thou — Or, Dost thou understand any thing, and it is not with us? Show us any point of knowledge possessed by thyself, of which we are ignorant.
