15:10 us, (e-9) Or 'Among us is a greyheaded man, yea an aged one.'
Verse Job 15:10. _WITH US_ ARE _BOTH THE GRAY-HEADED_] One copy of the _Chaldee Targum_ paraphrases the verse thus: "Truly Eliphaz the hoary-headed, and Bildad the long-lived, are among us; and Zopha...

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...
But coming back to Job's assumption of superior wisdom, Eliphaz must ask on what it rests?...
Eliphaz rebukes Job's contemptuous treatment of the opinions of his friends, and his irreverence towards God First, starting with Job's claim to a wisdom beyond that of his friends (ch. Job 12:3; Job...
This verse should probably read, Among us is one both grayheaded and very aged, One older in days than thy father. Eliphaz with a dignified indirectness in which, however, a certain personal feelin...

Job’s friends believed that an older man was wiser (Job 32:7). Eliphaz said that many old people believed the same ideas as Eliphaz himself. And many people who lived long ago had the same ideas. They...

XIII. THE TRADITION OF A PURE RACE Job 15:1 ELIPHAZ SPEAKS THE first colloquy has made clear severance between the old Theology and the facts of human life. No positive reconciliation is effected a...
“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...
_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....

WITH US ARE BOTH THE GRAYHEADED,.... The grayheaded man, or one that is so, it is in the singular number; gray hairs are a sign of old age, and an emblem of wisdom, see Job 12:12; to which words Eliph...

_Art thou the first man that was born?_ Hast thou lived ever since the creation of the world, and treasured up the experiences of all ages in thy own breast, that thou speakest so arrogantly and magis...
ELIPHAZ ATTEMPTS TO REBUKE JOB...
With us are both the gray-headed and very aged men, or, "Also among us are the gray-haired, the aged," MUCH ELDER THAN THY FATHER, these old men of the various tribes which they represented ranking wi...
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...
1-16 Eliphaz begins a second attack upon Job, instead of being softened by his complaints. He unjustly charges Job with casting off the fear of God, and all regard to him, and restraining prayer. See...
WITH US, i.e. among us; either, 1. Some of us, who seem to have been very ancient from JOB 32:7. Or, 2. Some others with whom we have conversed, and who are of our opinion in this matter. And this t...

_SECOND COURSE OF DIALOGUES.—SECOND SPEECH OF ELIPHAZ_ Eliphaz less gentle and courteous than in his former speech. Probably irritated at his little success with Job, who rejected his friend’s counse...
EXPOSITION The second colloquy between Job and his friends is, like the first (ch. 3-14.), one in which all of them take part, and the same order of speakers is maintained. Job answers each speaker in...
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...
