What was the question "ha'Anochi l'Adam Sichi"?

1.

Rashi: Why do you stand 1 on my screams? Do I talk to someone like myself, that he hears my voice?

2.

Malbim: I asked about Rasha v'Tov Lo. Elifaz answered that he is full of fear. Bildad said that his seed and Nefesh will be cut off. Tzufar said that he will die suddenly. They intended for Iyov - he was a Rasha in their eyes, and his success did not last. He answered, was my question about why one Rasha succeeds? If so, your answer was proper. However, I did not ask about one person!

I.e. object to. (PF)

What was the question "v'Im Madu'a Lo Siktzar Ruchi"?

1.

Rashi: Why should I not be short of breath, to scream over my affliction?

2.

Malbim: Did I ask about my own Kotzer Ru'ach, that I cannot bear the afflictions? The first debate was about Tzadik v'Ra Lo, i.e. myself. Then your answers were proper 1 . Now I ask about all people. We find many Resha'im who succeed! If so, you must answer that every Rasha, he is full of fear, or his seed and Nefesh will be cut off, or he dies young. This is not true!

Malbim (and all Meforshim I have seen) explain that Iyov did not accept their answers! Perhaps he means, according to your premise that I sinned, your answers were proper (PF)
