Context of Job 15:13

11Are the consolations of God [as we have interpreted them to you] too trivial for you, [Or] were we too gentle toward you [in our first speech] to be effective? 12Why does your heart carry you away [allowing you to be controlled by emotion]?

Commentaries on Job 15:13

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 13That thou turnest thy spirit against God - The ideas here seem to be taken from an archer, who turns his eye and his spirit - his desire - against the object which he wishes to hit; and then lets loose his arrow that it may attain the mark.Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 13That thou turnest thy spirit - That your mind is turned against God instead of acquiescing in his dealings. The views of Job he traces to pride and to overweening self-confidence, and perhaps not improperly.Read the comment
