What the Fathers say
Western Saints
Gregory the Dialogist
Behold, God made me as well as thee, and I am also formed of the same clay; yet let not my wonder terrify thee, and my eloquence be burdensome to thee. What then is meant by Eliu acknowledging the order of his true creation, and not knowing the limits of proper speech? What by his putting himself on a level with Job when created, and setting himself above him when about to speak? …
Thomas Aquinas
Lest Job scorn to dispute with him because of his own reputation for wisdom and his youth, he excludes this saying, "Behold, God made both you and me," so from the Creator's point of view both of us have the same hope of inquiring into truth. On the part of matter, the same impediment applies to each one, and so he says, "and I too was formed from the same clay," whose coarseness darkens the light of truth.
