Job 5:27

27. We have searched it He thus commits the two other friends to the sentiments he has expressed, and they by their silence assent. Job assumes this in his reply.

For thy good As in the margin, for thyself. These principles, proved by experience, Job may take to himself. The frigid want of sympathy accompanies the speech to its bitter end. The galled jade may wince Job is in the hands of a righteous God, let him suffer. “Eliphaz blames Job for his murmuring, and bids him receive his affliction with a recognition of human sinfulness and the divine purpose for good. Thus the controversy begins.” Delitzsch.
