Job 15:14-15. What is man? Hebrew, אנושׁ , enosh, frail, weak, imperfect man; that he should be clean? That is, that he should pretend to be so; or, that any should expect to find him so: and he that is born of a woman A sinful woman, from whom he has derived infirmity, corruption, and guilt; that he should be righteous?

15:1-21:34 SECOND ROUND OF ARGUMENTEliphaz speaks (15:1-35)The three friends are offended that their collective wisdom has not humbled Job as they had hoped.
