ヨブ記 15:32 JC

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Job 15:1-35

“The Heavens Are not Clean” Job 15:1-35 The second colloquy, like the first, is commenced by Eliphaz. He begins by rebuking Job, Job 15:1-16 . He complains that the words of Job proved him to be unwise, Job 15:2-3 , and even impious, Job 15:4 . His very speech testified to his iniquity, Job 15:5-6 . With something of irony Eliphaz asks upon what Job’s claim to superior wisdom rests. Was he the first man ? Job 15:7 . Or had he access to the secret counsel of God? Job 15:8 . In refusing the... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Job 15:1-35

Here the second cycle of argument begins, and again Eliphaz is the first speaker. It is at once evident that Job's answers had wounded him. He first criticized Job's manner, charging him with using mere words as arguments. His manner, moreover, had been characterized by unwarranted boldness, and by absence of reverence in the presence of God. In the second place, he criticized Job's claim to wisdom, and, in so doing, he compelled satire to answer satire (cf. verse Job 15:7 with Job 12:2 ).... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Job 15:32

It shall be accomplished, to wit, that which was last mentioned, that vanity should be his recompence. Or, it, i.e. his branch, mentioned in the next clause of the verse, from which it is understood in this former clause, as is very usual in the Holy Scripture, shall be consumed, or cut off. Before his time, i.e. when by the course of nature and common providence it might have continued and flourished much longer. His branch; either, 1. His glory and prosperity. Or rather, 2. His children, by... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Job 15:1-35

SECOND COURSE OF DIALOGUES.—SECOND SPEECH OF ELIPHAZEliphaz less gentle and courteous than in his former speech. Probably irritated at his little success with Job, who rejected his friend’s counsel and still maintained his own uprightness. The hostility of the friends more pronounced as the dialogue proceeds.I. Eliphaz sharply reproves Job’s speeches (Job 15:2-13).Censures—1. Their emptiness and rehemence (Job 15:2). “Should a wise man (Heb., ‘the wise man’) utter vain knowledge (Heb., answer... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Job 15:1-35

Chapter 15Now at this point, Eliphaz, who was the first friend of Job's to speak, speaks for the second time. And he claims that he is older than Job, more experienced than Job, and thus Job ought to listen to him.Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite, and said, Should a wise man utter vain knowledge, and fill his belly with the east wind? ( Job 15:1-2 )Job, you're just a big bag of wind, man.Should he reason with unprofitable talk? or with speeches whereof he can do no good? Yea, you cast off... read more

Joseph Sutcliffe

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Job 15:1-35

Job 15:2 . Fill his belly with the east wind; a hot dry wind, the least favourable to vegetation. This is an angry figure of speech, equivalent to a declaration that Job’s defence was a mere storm of words. Instead of being a suppliant for mercy, he accuses him of unfounded confidence. Job 15:5 . Thy mouth uttereth thine iniquity; or blasphemy against the hand that afflicted so good a man unjustly. Job 15:7 . Art thou the first man? Wert thou born before Adam, or begotten before the... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Job 15:20-35

Second division THE WISDOM OF PRIMITIVE AGES INCULCATED THE DIVINE PUNISHMENT OF THE WICKED IN THIS PRESENT LIFE, Job 15:20-35. First strophe Notwithstanding external appearances, fear and anxiety torment the wicked their entire life, Job 15:20-24. The remainder of the chapter appears to be a fragment of some ancient poem. Clericus supposes that these maxims originated among the Joktanidae, or pure original Arabs. (The queen of Sheba is believed to have been of this people.) The deepest... read more
