Commentary on Job 15:11

Theological / Devotional

Consolations. Probably the prospects of divine favor Job’s friends had held out to him if he would repent (see chs. 5:18-27; 8:20-22; 11:13-19).

Secret thing. Heb. dabar la’at, literally, “a gentle word.” Eliphaz is probably referring to his own words and those of his friends with which they tried to convince Job of his error. He feels that Job should have been impressed by their “kind” words.
