Commentary on Job 15:7–9 (Summary)

Job 15:7–9 (ESV)

7 “Are you the first man who was born? Or were you brought forth before the hills?

Eliphaz asks a series of sarcastic questions. His questions imply that Job had been arrogant, claiming to have more wisdom than his friends. This is an unfair accusation. Job had only claimed to be as wise as his friends (Job 12:2–3).
