Context of Job 15:13

11Are God’s consolations too trivial for you; or a word spoken in gentleness to you? 12Why has your heart carried you away, and why do your eyes flash, when you turn your rage against God and allow such words to escape from your mouth? 14What is man that he should be pure, or one born of woman, that he should be righteous? 15If God places no trust in his holy ones, if even the heavens are not pure in his eyes,

• 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
