SHOULD HE REASON WITH UNPROFITABLE TALK? - It does not become a man

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 HEAVENS ARE NOT CLEAN”

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...
