Fathers. Hebrew and Septuagint, "father." (Haydock) --- Eliphaz always speaks first, and hints that he was as old, perhaps older, than Job; who had rather found fault with the youth of Sophar, chap. xii. 12. He also boasts that they, or their country, furnished master of great wisdom and experience than even Job's father. (Calmet)

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 ATTEMPTS TO REBUKE JOB...
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...
