Context of Job 15:13

11Are God’s consolations not enough for you, even the words that deal gently with you? 12Why has your heart misled you, and why do your eyes flash as you turn your anger against God and allow such words to leave your mouth? 14What is a mere human, that he should be pure, or one born of a woman, that he should be righteous? 15If God puts no trust in his holy ones and the heavens are not pure in his sight,

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
