THE SECOND SERIES OF CONTROVERSIES
CHAPTER 15 Eliphaz's Second Address
_ 1. Tells Job that he is self-condemned (Job 15:1)_
2. Charges him with pride (Job 15:7)
3. The wicked and their lot (Job 15...
-
JOB 15:2 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, w...
-
But in truth such utterances of his mouth clearly suggested the source
which inspired them, other proof of his guilt than they was not
needed. Thus in Job 15:5 Job's language and sentiments are explai...

Eliphaz rebukes Job's contemptuous treatment of the opinions of his
friends, and his irreverence towards God

ELIPHAZ’S SECOND SPEECH...

Job said that good men often have awful lives. And he said that evil
men have good lives (Job 12:6). Eliphaz could not agree. He believed
that God rewards a good man. Eliphaz also believed that God pu...

THE first colloquy has made clear severance between the old Theology
and the facts of human life. No positive reconciliation is effected a...

“THE HEAVENS ARE NOT CLEAN”
Job 15:1
The second colloquy, like the first, is commenced by Eliphaz. He
begins by _rebuking_ Job, Job 15:1. He complains that the words of Job
proved him to be unwise, J...
-
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 me...

ELIPHAZ CLAIMS JOB CONDEMNS HIMSELF
(vv.1-6)
This response of Eliphaz lacks the measure of self-restraint he had
shown in his first address. He had first at least spoken with a
measure of considerat...

"YOUR OWN MOUTH CONDEMNS YOU": Eliphaz argues that Job's self-defense
is sufficient to condemn him before God; his own protestation of
innocence is enough to declare him guilty, compare with Job 9:20....

1-16 Eliphaz begins a second attack upon Job, instead of being
softened by his complaints. He unjustly charges Job with casting off
the fear of God, and all regard to him, and restraining prayer. See...

EXPOSITION
The second colloquy between Job and his friends is, like the first
(ch. 3-14.), one in which all of them take part, and the same order of
speakers is maintained. Job answers each speaker in...

Now 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...
