Job 15:10

Job 15:10

Compare all

8 ^aHave you heard the counsel of God?
Do you limit wisdom to yourself?

9 ^aWhat do you know that we do not know?
What do you understand that is not in us?

10 ^aBoth the gray-haired and the aged are among us,
Much older than your father.

11 Are the consolations of God too small for you,
And the word spoken¹ gently with you?

12 Why does your heart carry you away,
And¹ what do your eyes wink at,

<< Job 15:9

Job 15:11 >>

With us are both the gray-headed - One copy of the Chaldee Targum paraphrases the verse thus: "Truly Eliphaz the hoary-headed, and Bildad the long-lived, are among us; and Zophar, who in age surpasseth thy father." It is very likely that Eliphaz refers to himself and his friends in this verse, and not either to the old men of their tribes, or to the masters by whom they themselves were instructed. Eliphaz seems to have been the eldest of these sages; and, therefore, he takes the lead in each part of this dramatic poem.
