Jó 15:1 Meaning and Commentary

Job 15:1

Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite
Or, who was of Teman, as the Targum, the first of Job's friends and comforters, the oldest of them, who first began the dispute with him; which was carried on by his two other companions, who had spoken in their turns; and now in course it fell to him to answer a second time, as he here does,

and said,
as follows.

Jó 15:1 In-Context

1 Então respondeu Elifaz, o temanita:

2 Porventura responderá o sábio com ciência de vento? E encherá do vento oriental o seu ventre,

3 argüindo com palavras que de nada servem, ou com razões com que ele nada aproveita?

4 Na verdade tu destróis a reverência, e impedes a meditação diante de Deus.

5 Pois a tua iniqüidade ensina a tua boca, e escolhes a língua dos astutos.
