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

For thy mouth uttereth thine iniquity,.... Which was in his heart, and so was an evidence against him, and proved him perverse, and made good the above charges exhibited against him: or "thine iniquity teaches thy mouth" y; the wickedness that was in his heart prompted his mouth to speak the things he did, see Matthew 12:34; and this, as it was an instance of his folly, Proverbs 15:2; so a proof of his casting off the fear of the Lord; for if that had been before his eyes, he would have bridled his lips, and not uttered all the wickedness of his heart: for he that "bridleth not his tongue, this man's religion is vain", James 1:26;

and thou choosest the tongue of the crafty; coloured over things under specious pretences of religion and godliness, so that the simple and ignorant took him for a holy good man, when he was at heart an hypocrite; in this light Eliphaz puts Job, as one that walked and talked in craftiness, and was a deceitful worker, and imposed upon men with false glosses and plausible pretences.

y יאלף עונך פיך "docuit iniquitas tua os tuum", V. L. Pagninus, Bolducius; "docebit", Montanus; "docet", Piscator, Cocceius; so Tigurine version.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

For thy mouth uttereth thine iniquity - Margin, “teacheth.” That is, “your whole argument shows that you are a guilty man. A man who can defend such positions about God cannot be a pious man, or have any proper veneration for the Most High.” A man may pursue an argument, and defend positions, that shall as certainly show that he is destitute of religion as though he lived an abandoned life; and he who holds opinions that are dishonorable to God, can no more be a pious man than if he dishonored God by violating his law.

Thou choosest the tongue of the crafty - Instead of pursuing an argument with candor and sincerity, you have resorted to miserable sophisms, such as running disputants use. You have not showed a disposition to ascertain and defend the truth, but have relied on the arts and evasions of the subtle disputant and the rhetorician. His whole discourse, according to Eliphaz, was a work of mere art, designed to blind his hearers; to deceive them with a favorable opinion of his piety; and to give some plausible, but delusive view of the government of God.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Job 15:5. For thy mouth uttereth — In attempting to justify thyself, thou hast added iniquity to sin, and hast endeavoured to impute blame to thy Maker.

The tongue of the crafty. — Thou hast varnished thy own conduct, and used sophistical arguments to defend thyself. Thou resemblest those cunning persons, ערומים arumim, who derive their skill and dexterity from the old serpent, "the nachash, who was ערום arum, subtle, or crafty, beyond all the beasts of the field;" Genesis 3:1. Thy wisdom is not from above, but from beneath.
