This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
secret - rather, “Wast thou a listener in the secret council of God?” The Hebrew means properly the cushions of a divan on which counselors in the East usually sit. God’s servants are admitted to God’s secrets (Psa 25:14; Gen 18:17; Joh 15:15).
restrain - Rather, didst thou take away, or borrow, thence (namely, from the divine secret council) thy wisdom? Eliphaz in this (Job 15:8, Job 15:9) retorts Job’s words upon himself (Job 12:2, Job 12:3; Job 13:2).
