And it was so, that after the LORD had spoken these words unto Job, the LORD said to Eliphaz the Temanite, My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends: for ye have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job hath.
To Eliphaz - because he was the foremost of the three friends: their speeches were but the echo of his.
Right - literally, well-grounded х nªkownaah (H3559), from kuwn (H3559), set in order], sure and true. Their spirit toward Job was unkindly, and to justify themselves in their unkindliness they used false arguments (Job 13:7; namely, that calamities always prove special guilt); therefore, though it was "for God" they spake thus falsely, God "reproves" them, as Job said He would (Job 13:10).
Like Job. Job had spoken rightly in relation to them and their argument, denying their theory, and the fact which they alleged, that he was peculiarly guilty and a hypocrite; but wrongly in relation to God, when he fell into the opposite extreme of almost denying all guilt. This extreme he has now repented of, and therefore God speaks of him as now altogether "right."
