Contextual Overview

1 Then aunswered Eliphaz the Themanite, and saide: 2 Shall a wyse mans aunswere be as the winde, and fill a mans belly as it were with the winde of the east? 3 Shall he reproue with a worde that is nothing worth, & speake the thinges which can do no good? 4 Surely thou hast cast of feare, and restrainest prayer before God. 5 For thy mouth setteth forth thyne owne iniquitie, seeing thou hast chosen the tongue of the craftie. 6 Thyne owne mouth condempneth thee, and not I: yea, thyne owne lippes shape an aunswere against thee. 7 Art thou the first man that euer was borne? or wast thou made before the hils? 8 Hast thou heard the secret counsell of God? and doest thou restraine wysdome to thee? 9 What knowest thou, that we knowe not? And what vnderstandest thou, but we can the same? 10 With vs are both olde and aged men, yea such as haue liued longer then thy father.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Should he reason with unprofitable talk?.... That is, the wise man, such a man as Job; does it become him to talk such idle stuff? that which is false, and foolish, and frothy, that does not minister grace to the hearer, and is not for the use of edifying; as whatever is untrue, unwise, vain, and empty, must be useless and answer no good end; nothing is profitable but what tends to increase solid wisdom and spiritual knowledge, and to exercise grace, and influence an holy life; wherefore what are profitable to the souls of men are the doctrines of the word of God, and the experiences of the grace of God, communicated by his people one to another; and nothing but these, or what agrees with them, should come out of the mouth of a wise and good man; nor can such an one expect to convince men of their errors, or reprove them for their sins with success, who deals in words of no profit:

or with speeches wherewith he can do no good? but may do a great deal of hurt both to himself and others; but the same thing is here signified in different words,

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Should he reason with unprofitable talk? - It does not become a man professing to be wise to make use of words that are nothing to the purpose. The sense is, that what Job said amounted to just nothing.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Job 15:3. Should he reason with unprofitable talk? — Should a man talk disrespectfully of his Maker, or speak to him without reverence? and should he suppose that he has proved any thing, when he has uttered words of little meaning, and used sound instead of sense?
