15 If God places no trust in his holy ones, if even the heavens are not pure in his eyes,
15 Behold, he putteth no trust in his saints; yea, the heavens are not clean in his sight.
15 Behold, God
15 Why, God can't even trust his holy angels. He sees the flaws in the very heavens themselves,
15 If God puts no trust in His saints, And the heavens are not pure in His sight,
15 Look, God does not even trust the angels. Even the heavens are not absolutely pure in his sight.
6 For who in the skies above can compare with the Lord? Who is like the Lord among the heavenly beings?
6 For who in the heaven can be compared unto the Lord? who among the sons of the mighty can be likened unto the Lord?
6 For who in the skies can be compared to the Lord? Who among the heavenly beings
6 Search high and low, scan skies and land, you'll find nothing and no one quite like God.
6 For who in the heavens can be compared to the Lord? Who among the sons of the mighty can be likened to the Lord?
6 For who in all of heaven can compare with the Lord ? What mightiest angel is anything like the Lord ?
(Read Psalm 89:5-14)
The more God's works are known, the more they are admired. And to praise the Lord, is to acknowledge him to be such a one that there is none like him. Surely then we should feel and express reverence when we worship God. But how little of this appears in our congregations, and how much cause have we to humble ourselves on this account! That almighty power which smote Egypt, will scatter the enemies of the church, while all who trust in God's mercy will rejoice in his name; for mercy and truth direct all he does. His counsels from eternity, and their consequences to eternity, are all justice and judgment.
7 In the council of the holy ones God is greatly feared; he is more awesome than all who surround him.
7 God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, and to be had in reverence of all them that are about him.
7 a God greatly to be feared in the council of the holy ones, and awesome above all who are around him?
7 The holy angels are in awe before him; he looms immense and august over everyone around him.
7 God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, And to be held in reverence by all those around Him.
7 The highest angelic powers stand in awe of God. He is far more awesome than all who surround his throne.

Matthew Henry's Commentary on Job 15:15
Commentary on Job 15:1-16
(Read Job 15:1-16)
Eliphaz begins a second attack upon Job, instead of being softened by his complaints. He unjustly charges Job with casting off the fear of God, and all regard to him, and restraining prayer. See in what religion is summed up, fearing God, and praying to him; the former the most needful principle, the latter the most needful practice. Eliphaz charges Job with self-conceit. He charges him with contempt of the counsels and comforts given him by his friends. We are apt to think that which we ourselves say is important, when others, with reason, think little of it. He charges him with opposition to God. Eliphaz ought not to have put harsh constructions upon the words of one well known for piety, and now in temptation. It is plain that these disputants were deeply convinced of the doctrine of original sin, and the total depravity of human nature. Shall we not admire the patience of God in bearing with us? and still more his love to us in the redemption of Christ Jesus his beloved Son?
