约伯记 15:15 RCUVSS

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Job 15:14-35

Eliphaz Accuses Job of Impiety v. 14. What is man that he should be clean, and he which is born of a woman that he should be righteous? Eliphaz here takes up a point which he had broached in his first discourse, 4:17-20, and which Job himself had conceded, 14:1-4. If Job admitted man's mortality and frailty in general, he should also concede his own particular wickedness. v. 15. Behold, He putteth no trust in His saints, not even in His holy angels, because they are finite and beneath Him in... read more

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

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Job 15:2-19

Job 15:2-Psalms : is a polemic against Job’ s arrogance and pretence of wisdom. Job’ s words are empty and violent ( Job 15:2 f.). He does away with all religion ( Job 15:4) and breaks the reverential stillness, which should be observed in the presence of God. It is his wickedness that inspires his words and gives to his tongue the craft of the serpent (Genesis 31) ( Job 15:5). So he stands self-condemned ( Job 15:6). Is he the primæ val man of whom the myths tell, who sat in the council of... read more

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

In his saints, i.e. in his angels, as appears by comparing Job 4:18, who are called his saints or holy ones, Deuteronomy 33:2; Psalms 103:20; Daniel 4:13,Daniel 4:23; Matthew 18:10; Matthew 24:36; who though they were created holy, yet he could not be confident in them, nor they be confident in themselves that they would continue in their integrity if they were left to themselves, and not upheld by God’s special grace and assistance. See Poole "Job 4:18". The heavens, Heb. and the heavens, i.e.... 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
