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 doctrine of Eliphaz is no novelty, it is his (Job 15:17), but it

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...
