What are mortals, that they could be righteous?

Job 15:1-16
Then Eliphaz the Temanite replied: Your own mouth condemns you, not mine;   your own lips testify against you.
What do you know that we do not know? What insights do you have that we do not have?
“What are mortals, that they could be pure, or those born of woman, that they could be righteous?
If God places no trust in his holy ones, if even the heavens are not pure in his eyes, how much less mortals, who are vile and corrupt, who drink up evil like water!
The debate grows more heated. Job has needled his friends, and they make no allowances for the stress he is under. It never crosses their minds he may really be innocent. They go on doggedly defending their position and trying to bludgeon Job into submission.
Why?
No one is righteous before the Lord.
Actually, no one knows what is the way of the Lord either.

v1-6 指責約伯言語空洞
      無忌的言語，反而顯出你是有罪，不是敬虔的人。只是約伯的話，卻說不出約伯的罪。這樣的話和耶穌被定罪的事是一樣的，找不出罪，藉耶穌口中的話來定罪
v7-13 目中無人：你是見識最廣的嗎？4章中表達Eliphz聽過神的聲音，指責約伯沒有聽過神的聲音，指責約伯不聽老人言，吃虧在眼前。以為年紀大就有智慧。當人說不出理時，就以紀來自誇。提前：不要叫人因年輕叫人看輕，要成為人的榜樣。以利法以神的代言人自居。神什麼時候對他說這些話。如需耶穌的時代，猶太人以上神的代言人自居。
v14-16 以利法指責約伯不應該自義，雖然沒有錯，但是忽略神眷顧人：人都有罪，所以約伯應該要認罪。事實上以利法沒有回答約伯的問題，一直跳針的說重覆的話，表示沒有話回答約伯的問題。當我們回答不出來時，就要檢討自己，我們往往以神的代言人自居，錯解聖經，干犯神。承認我們是不足的，是不明白的。不要以年紀、身份來壓別人，企圖粉飾太平。

How?
Be still, listen to the word of the Lord and pray to the Lord and follow his way that God makes it.
