Job
15 – Eliphaz Speaks a Second Time
Eliphaz
began by telling Job that he is windy and speaking empty words. He is attacking
Job to try to break him down and make him confess. That is not the way to treat a man in trouble
like Job is. He says Job is his own accuser and talks as if he knows something.
He tries to put Job in a very bad light. He does not bring Job to the place
where he can see that he is a man who has a great lack and a great need. There
is no comfort for Job from his friend.
He
says wisdom is on their side and not on the side of Job.
When
the Lord Jesus Christ dies, He did not die only to redeem mankind; but in His
plan of redemption there is to be a new heaven and a new earth that will come
because He has redeemed us.
Telling
Job that the heavens are unclean in His sight may be true, but it is not
applicable to Job and his condition than it is to any other human being.
Eliphaz,
instead of being a comforter, is a debater. He is not adding anything new but
is playing the same old record over again.
