Verse 2. Me. Job perceiving that his friends made no reply, ( Calmet.) and yet did not appear satisfied, ( Bible.) explains how he had behaved in prosperity, in answer to the insinuations of Eliphaz; (Calmet. 22:5) and what miseries he now experienced; though he maintains these were not inflicted on account of his sins.

Bede.
