“Why doth thine heart carry thee away? and what do thy eyes wink at,”
Job 15:12 (KJV)
Commentary on Job 15:12
Eliphaz accuses Job's emotions of betraying him: 'Why doth thine heart carry thee away? and what do thy eyes wink at?' The 'heart carrying away' suggests uncontrolled passion clouding judgment. The 'winking eyes' may indicate scorn or arrogance. Eliphaz pathologizes Job's emotional expressions, assuming passionate speech proves guilt. This reflects common error—mistaking strong emotion for spiritual compromise. Scripture validates emotional honesty (Psalms, Lamentations) while warning against sin-driven passion.
