Eliphaz reproves Job for impiety in justifying himself17. He proves by tradition the restlessness of wicked men so that you turn your spirit against God This phrase highlights the internal rebellion against God, a theme prevalent throughout the Book of Job. Job's friends, particularly Eliphaz in this chapter, accuse him of harboring a spirit of defiance. In the broader biblical context, turning one's spirit against God is seen as a grave sin, akin to the rebellion of Israel in the wilderness (Numbers 14:11). Theologically, this reflects the human tendency towards pride and self-reliance, which contrasts with the biblical call for humility and submission to God's will (James 4:6-7). The phrase also echoes the fall of Lucifer, who turned his spirit against God, leading to his downfall (Isaiah 14:12-15). and pour such words from your mouth? Persons / Places / Events 1.

Understanding Suffering Suffering can lead to questioning and doubt, but it is crucial to maintain faith and not turn our spirit against God. The Role of Friends Friends can provide comfort or further distress. We should strive to be compassionate and understanding, rather than accusatory, when others are suffering.

The Importance of Humility Approach God with humility, recognizing our limited understanding and His infinite wisdom.Verse 13 - That thou turnest thy spirit against God. To Eliphaz and his companions, the wild remonstrances of Job, his vehement expostulations and despairing outcries, are, one and all, nothing better than indications of a proud and rebellious spirit, that sets itself up against the Almighty, and openly contends with him. They view Job, after the speeches that he has made, as a declared rebel, and no longer regard it as incumbent upon them to use any "gentleness" in their reprimands. And lettest such words go out of thy mouth? It is remarkable that neither Eliphaz nor either of his friends ever points out what particular words of Job they object to and regard as impious, so as to give him the opportunity of defending, explaining, or retracting them. They take refuge in vague generalities, with which it is impossible to grapple. But this vagueness and want of logical accuracy is characteristic of the Oriental nations, who scarcely ever reason cogently or bring matters to a point. Parallel Commentaries ...
