Commentary

Matthew Henry’s Complete Commentary on the Bible (1710)

(vv. 1-16)

Eliphaz here falls very foul upon Job, because he contradicted what he and his colleagues had said, and did not acquiesce in it and applaud it, as they expected. Proud people are apt thus to take it very much amiss if they may not have leave to dictate and give law to all about them, and to censure those as ignorant and obstinate, and all that is naught, who cannot in every thing say as they say.…

Robert Jamieson, A. R. Fausset, David Brown’s Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary (1871)

(vv. 14)

14. Eliphaz repeats the revelation (Job 4:17) in substance, but using Job’s own words (see on Job 14:1, on “born of a woman”) to strike him with his own weapons.
