Job 27:6 By saying that he will hold fast to his integrity, Job echoes the Lord’s description of him in the prologue (2:3).
Job 27:7–8 If Job is right to maintain his integrity (see vv. 2–6), then his adversaries should be considered as the wicked and unrighteous. There is no hope for the wicked when God cuts him off.
Job 27:11 Eliphaz claimed to speak for God in correcting Job (see 22:26–27). Job in turn declared that he received revelation from God that he could not deny (6:10). Now, he says that he will not conceal the thoughts of the Almighty.
Job 27:13 If Job’s integrity is actually what is true with God, then Job’s friends ought to consider whether they are the ones who stand in danger of the judgment that they have described.
