Job 15:13 Meaning and Commentary

Job 15:13

That thou turnest thy spirit against God
Not against men, his friends only, but against God himself, being filled with wrath and indignation at him; showing the enmity of his heart unto him, and committing hostilities upon him, stretching out his hand, and strengthening himself against him, running upon him, on the thick bosses of his buckler, as after expressed:

and lettest [such] words go out of thy mouth?
as in ( Job 9:22 ) ( 10:3 ) ( 12:6 ) ( 13:22-27 ) .

Job 15:13 In-Context

11 Are the comfortings of God not enough for you, or a word that deals gently with you?

12 Why does your heart carry you away, and why do your eyes flash angrily,

13 so that you turn your spirit against God and let such words escape your mouth?

14 "What is a human being, that he could be innocent, someone born from a woman, that he could be righteous?

15 God doesn't trust even his holy ones; no, even the heavens are not innocent in his view.
