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 (<a href="/numbers/14-11.htm">Numbers 14:11</a>). 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 (<a href="/james/4-6.htm">James 4:6-7</a>). The phrase also echoes the fall of Lucifer, who turned his spirit against God, leading to his downfall (<a href="/isaiah/14-12.htm">Isaiah 14:12-15</a>).<p><b>and pour such words from your mouth?</b><br>The imagery of pouring words suggests an uncontrolled outflow, indicating that Job's speech is seen as reckless and irreverent by his friends. In the cultural context of the Ancient Near East, words held significant power and were believed to have the ability to bless or curse (<a href="/proverbs/18-21.htm">Proverbs 18:21</a>). This reflects the biblical emphasis on the tongue's power, as seen in <a href="/james/3-5.htm">James 3:5-10</a>, where the tongue is described as a small part of the body that can cause great harm. The accusation here is that Job's words are not only disrespectful but also potentially blasphemous, challenging the divine order. This connects to the broader theme of theodicy in Job, where the struggle to understand suffering leads to intense dialogue and questioning of God's justice.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/j/job.htm">Job</a></b><br>A man described as blameless and upright, who feared God and shunned evil.

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. <span class="cmt_word">And lettest such words go out of thy mouth?</span> It is remarkable that neither Eliphaz nor either of his friends ever points out what <span class="accented">particular</span> 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. <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/job/15-13.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">as</span><br /><span class="heb">כִּֽי־</span> <span class="translit">(kî-)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunction<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3588.htm">Strong's 3588: </a> </span><span class="str2">A relative conjunction</span><br /><br /><span class="word">you turn</span><br /><span class="heb">תָשִׁ֣יב</span> <span class="translit">(ṯā·šîḇ)</span><br /><span class="parse">Verb -
