Hiob 15:17 Meaning and Commentary

Job 15:17

I will show thee, hear me
Here Eliphaz proceeds to illustrate and make plain, to clear and defend, his former sentiment and proposition, and into which the rest of his friends came; that only wicked, and not righteous men, are afflicted of God, especially in such a manner as Job was; and he proposes to show things worthy of his regard, and not such vain and unprofitable things which Job had uttered; and, in order to stir up and engage his attention, he says what follows:

and that [which] I have seen I will declare;
what he had been an eyewitness of himself; the same he had observed, ( Job 4:8 ) ; and such testimonies are most regarded, and reckoned most authentic and creditable, especially when they come from men of character; see ( Luke 1:1 Luke 1:2 ) ( 1 John 1:1 ) .

Hiob 15:17 In-Context

15 Siehe, unter seinen Heiligen ist keiner ohne Tadel, und die im Himmel sind nicht rein vor ihm.
16 Wie viel weniger ein Mensch, der ein Greuel und schnöde ist, der Unrecht säuft wie Wasser.
17 Ich will dir's zeigen, höre mir zu, und ich will dir erzählen, was ich gesehen habe,
18 was die Weisen gesagt haben und ihren Vätern nicht verhohlen gewesen ist,
19 welchen allein das Land gegeben war, daß kein Fremder durch sie gehen durfte:
