Job 15 General Notes
Structure and formatting
The ULB sets the lines of this chapter farther to the right on the page than the rest of the text because it is a poem. This chapter is a continuation of the advice of Job's friend, Eliphaz. His words in this chapter are much stronger than when he previously spoke.
Special concepts in this chapter
Eliphaz's advice
Eliphaz tells Job to curse Yahweh. The advice Eliphaz gives to Job is bad advice. He tries to convince Job that he is sinning and has been punished by Yahweh. (See: rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/curse and rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/sin)
Important figures of speech in this chapter
Rhetorical questions
Eliphaz uses many different rhetorical questions in this chapter in order to try to convince Job that he is wrong. These questions help to build Eliphaz's argument. (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-rquestion)
