Chapter 6 records Job's rebuttal. He was not convinced with all that Eli-phaz had said. He believed that he had just cause to complain, and he continued his plea to have his life terminated. He chastised his friends for their unkind remarks concerning his religious life.
Matthew Henry makes this appraisal: "It must be allowed that Job spoke with much reason but also with much emotion and human weakness, but, in this "debate", as indeed in most debates, there was truth and there was fault on both sides."
