“What is man, that he should be clean? and he which is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?”
Job 15:14 (KJV)
Commentary on Job 15:14
Eliphaz asks: 'What is man, that he should be clean? and he which is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?' The question echoes Eliphaz's earlier speech (4:17) and anticipates Bildad (25:4). Tahor (טָהוֹר, clean) means pure or undefiled. Tsadaq (צָדַק, righteous) means just or vindicated. Eliphaz correctly identifies universal sinfulness but wrongly applies it—affirming general human depravity doesn't prove Job's specific guilt. The doctrine of original sin is true but doesn't require confessing imaginary particular sins.
