Job 15:17,18 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

I will show thee, hear me I will prove what I have affirmed, namely, that such strokes as thine are peculiar to hypocrites and wicked men. And that which I have seen I will declare I will not speak from hearsay, but only from my own observation and experience. Which wise men have told Who are most able to be witnesses and judges in these matters; from their fathers Or, ancestors; who diligently observed this, and carefully transmitted their own judgment and experience successively to their posterity. And have not hid it They judged it to be so certain and important a truth, that they would not conceal it in their own breasts.
