Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Job 15:7

ELIPHAZ CALLED JOB ABOMINABLE AND CORRUPT"Art thou the first man that was born?Or wast thou brought forth before the hills?Hast thou heard the secret counsel of God?Or dost thou limit wisdom to thy self?What knowest thou that we know not?What understandest thou that is not known in us?With us are both the gray-headed and the very aged men,Much elder than thy father.Are the consolations of God too small for thee,Even the word that is gentle toward thee?Why doth thy heart carry thee away?And why... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Job 15:7

7. That is, Art thou wisdom personified? Wisdom existed before the hills; that is, the eternal Son of God (Proverbs 8:25; Psalms 90:2). Wast thou in existence before Adam? The farther back one existed, the nearer he was to the Eternal Wisdom. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Job 15:1-16

Job’s attitude rebuked 15:1-16Specifically, Eliphaz accused Job of speaking irreverently (Job 15:1-6) and of pretending to be wiser and purer than he was (Job 15:7-16). For a second time one of his friends said Job was full of hot air (Job 15:2-3; cf. Job 8:2). The east wind (Job 15:2) was the dreaded sirocco that blew in destruction from the Arabian Desert."Eliphaz was using one of the oldest tactics in debate-if you can’t refute your opponent’s arguments, attack his words and make them sound... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Job 15:1-34

C. The Second Cycle of Speeches between Job and His Three Friends chs. 15-21In the second cycle of speeches, Job’s companions did not change their minds about why Job was suffering and the larger issue of the basis of the divine-human relationship. They continued to hold the dogma of retribution: that God without exception blesses good people and punishes bad people in this life. Galatians 6:7 says, "Whatever a man sows, this he will also reap." However, it is wrong to conclude that we will... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Job 15:1-35

1. Eliphaz’s second speech ch. 15Job’s responses so far had evidently convinced Eliphaz that Job was a hardened sinner in defiant rebellion against God. [Note: Pope, p. 114.] "There is a great change in tone between this address of Eliphaz and the first. There is no tenderness here. The philosophy of life is stated wholly on the negative side, and it was impossible for Job to misunderstand the meaning." [Note: Morgan, p. 208.] read more

John Dummelow

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Job 15:1-34

The Second Series of Speeches (Job 15-21)The rejection by Job of the opinions and advice of the friends, his sturdy maintenance of his innocence, and the fearlessness with which in his anguish he has arraigned the divine government of the world, have all alike deepened their conviction of his guilt. Without actually charging Job with definite sin, for which indeed they have no ground, they now administer stern rebukes, and draw terrible pictures of the certain misery which awaits the godless,... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Job 15:1-35

The Second Speech of Eliphaz1-16. Eliphaz accuses Job of impiety and arrogance.2. And fill, etc] utter idle, empty remarks.7. It was a popular idea that there was a primeval man endowed with perfect wisdom, corresponding to the figure of the Divine Wisdom in Proverbs 8. 8. Render, ’Didst thou hearken in the council of God?’ i.e. before the creation of the world. 10. Eliphaz, perhaps, refers here to himself.11. RV ’Are the consolations of God too small for thee, and the word that dealeth gently... read more
