Contextual Overview

¹ Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said, ² Should a wise man make answer with vain knowledge, And fill himself with the east wind? ³ Should he reason with unprofitable talk, Or with speeches by which he can do no good? ⁴ Yes, you do away with fear, And hinder devotion 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; Yes, your own lips testify against you. ⁷ Are you the first of man that was born? Or were you brought forth before the hills? ⁸ Have you heard the secret counsel of God? And do you limit wisdom to yourself? ⁹ What do you know, that we don't know? What do you understand, which is not in us? ¹⁰ With us are both the gray-headed and the very aged men, Much 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.
