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...

proved him to be unwise, J...

Here the second cycle of argument begins, and again Eliphaz is the

him.
