SHOULD HE REASON WITH UNPROFITABLE TALK? - It does not become a man
professing to be wise to make use of words that are nothing to the

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...

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

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...

He claims that Job's lengthy arguments have been useless, they have
failed to convince or convict. In the next chapter Job himself will
accuse his friends of being the ones with windy words (Job 16:3)...
