Job 15

Eliphaz begins the second cycle of speeches, criticizing Job for his empty words and his questioning of God's justice. Eliphaz suggests Job is trapped by his own wicked speech and pride. He defends the wisdom of the elders, asserting that no man can truly be pure. Eliphaz claims that the wicked are always filled with terror, oppressed by famine and war, and that their wealth is fleeting. He hints that Job is experiencing this terrifying fate because he has defied God, and concludes that the hypocrite will not prosper.
