1-16:  Job reproves his friends for unmercifulness.
17-22:  He maintains his innocency.
Job 16:1• 1Then Job answered and said, (Job 16:1)
• Job meets each one on his own ground, and gives scorn for scorn, stroke for stroke, charge for charge. In addition, he enlarges upon the anomaly of his unspeakable sufferings in connection with his reiterated in-nocence. He not only charges his friends with hardness and impiety, but cannot hide the awful fact from himself that God is against him. It is this that burns in his soul—the suspicion that God is not good and just. (“Job 3-31” by S. Ridout)
• Two things strike us in his answer to Eliphaz: First, nothing that has been said has touched Job’s con-science, and this accounts for his moral indignation against his accusers. Second, he is so occupied with his relationship to God that other things are of minor importance. This shows the reality of the man’s faith. (“Job 3-31” by S. Ridout)
• He reproaches them for their heartlessness (ch. 16:1-5). (“Job 3-31” by S. Ridout)
