CHAPTER 15
ELIPHAZ’S SECOND SPEECH...

Job thought that many evil people are successful (Job 12:6). Eliphaz
argued that their success was temporary. Their wealth would not last.
Soon, they would lose everything (verse 29).
Job had spoken...

the e...

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...
