Job 15:11 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

Are the consolations of God small with thee? is there any secret thing with thee?

Consolations - namely, the revelation which Eliphaz had stated (Job 4:12; Job 4:17; Job 5:7-26) as a consolatory reproof to Job, and which he partly repeat in Job 15:14.

Secret. Hast thou some secret wisdom and revealed source of consolation, which makes thee disregard those suggested by me? (Job 15:8) I prefer this to the other translation, from a different Hebrew root, Is the word of kindness х daabaar (H1697) laa'aT (H328)], or gentleness (addressed by me), treated by thee as valueless? (Umbreit.)
