¶ Y respondió Job, y dijo:
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-5 - Eliphaz had represented Job's discourses as unprofitable, and nothin to the purpose; Job here gives his the same character. Those who pas censures, must expect to have them retorted; it is easy, it is endless but what good does it do? Angry answers stir up men's passions, but never convince their judgments, nor set truth in a clear light. What Job says of his friends is true of all creatures, in comparison with God; one time or other we shall be made to see and own that miserabl comforters are they all. When under convictions of sin, terrors of conscience, or the arrests of death, only the blessed Spirit can comfort effectually; all others, without him, do it miserably, and to no purpose. Whatever our brethren's sorrows are, we ought by sympath to make them our own; they may soon be so.
