SEV Biblia, Chapter 15:8

¿Oíste tú por ventura el secreto de Dios, que detienes en ti solo la sabiduría?

---

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Job 15:8

Verse 8. Hast thou heard the secret of God? ] "Hast thou hearkened in God's council?" Wert thou one of the celestial cabinet, when God said, Let US make man in OUR image, and in OUR likeness? Dost thou restrain wisdom to thyself? - Dost thou wish us to understand that God's counsels were revealed to none but thyself? And dost thou desire that we should give implicit credence to whatsoever thou art pleased to speak? These are all strong sarcastic questions, and apparently uttered with great contempt.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 1-16 - Eliphaz begins a second attack upon Job, instead of being softened by his complaints. He unjustly charges Job with casting off the fear of God, and all regard to him, and restraining prayer. See in what religion is summed up, fearing God, and praying to him; the former the most needful principle, the latter the most needful practice. Elipha charges Job with self-conceit. He charges him with contempt of the counsels and comforts given him by his friends. We are apt to thin that which we ourselves say is important, when others, with reason think little of it. He charges him with opposition to God. Elipha ought not to have put harsh constructions upon the words of one wel known for piety, and now in temptation. It is plain that thes disputants were deeply convinced of the doctrine of original sin, an the total depravity of human nature. Shall we not admire the patienc of God in bearing with us? and still more his love to us in the redemption of Christ Jesus his beloved Son?
