Eliphaz now sets forth this doctrine of the moral order of the world, in order to convince Job of the justice of his sufferings.

THE SECOND SERIES OF CONTROVERSIES CHAPTER 15 Eliphaz's Second Address _ 1. Tells Job that he is self-condemned (Job 15:1)_ 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...

“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...

Now at this point, Eliphaz, who was the first friend of Job's to speak, speaks for the second time. And he claims that he is older than Job, more experienced than Job, and thus Job ought to listen to...
