“With us are both the grayheaded and very aged men, much elder than thy father.”
Job 15:10 (KJV)
Commentary on Job 15:10
Eliphaz appeals to age and experience: 'With us are both the grayheaded and very aged men, much elder than thy father.' He claims superior wisdom based on generational authority—elders wiser than even Job's father support his theology. This argument from tradition assumes age guarantees truth. Reformed theology respects tradition but recognizes it must be tested by Scripture. Eliphaz's error warns against elevating human authority above divine revelation.
