“What knowest thou, that we know not? what understandest thou, which is not in us?”
"What do you know that we do not know? What do you understand that is not clear to us?" Eliphaz asserts that the friends' wisdom encompasses everything Job knows. There is no unique insight available to Job, no personal knowledge that transcends their traditional understanding. This verse denies the possibility that Job's suffering could provide wisdom inaccessible to the prosperous.
