Job 15:7 Douay-Rheims

Art thou the first man that was born, or wast thou made before the hills?

John Chrysostom

A.D. 347–407 Patristic

Eliphaz is just about to say, did you by any chance exist before the entire world, so that you learned about the most ancient times? Or did you learn anything from the mouth of God? You are not superior to us in knowledge at all. Since you had said that "wisdom is found in a long time," are you not caught in a trap now? In fact, you are not aged at all, nor were you born before the universe. But Job said that so that his friends might show their pride.
