HE RUNNETH UPON HIM - That is, upon God. The image here is taken from the mode in which people rushed into battle. It was with a violent concussion, and usually with a shout, that they might intimidat...

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...

ELIPHAZ ACCUSES JOB OF IMPIETY...
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...
Job is here pictured as going on the offensive against God and attacking Him. Yet there actually are sinners who do exactly this, and seek to take God head-on....
17-35 Eliphaz maintains that the wicked are certainly miserable: whence he would infer, that the miserable are certainly wicked, and therefore Job was so. But because many of God's people have prospe...

_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...
