After reading chapter 15:
*It's Eliphaz's turn to speak. He slams Job with insults from verse 1-13, insinuating that he is unwise, argumentative, a liar, crafty, conceited, ungrateful for god's consolations, and full of rage. He says that the old wise people are on the side of Job's "friends." They know just as much, if not more, than Job.
*Verses 14-16 are are basically a repetition of what Eliphaz said back in 4:17-19. Then he says,"let me 'splain." All his explaining in the rest of the chapter adds up to "everyone knows bad things happen to bad people." Thereby implying that maybe Job deserves his current predicament.
