Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Job 22:26

Shalt thou have thy delight in the Almighty - Instead of complaining of him as you now do, you would then find calm enjoyment in contemplating his character and his moral government. This is a correct account of the effects of reconciliation. He who becomes truly “acquainted” with God has pleasure in his existence and attributes; in his law and administration. No longer disposed to complain, he confides in him when he is afflicted; flees to him when he is persecuted; seeks him in the day of... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Job 22:26

Job 22:26. For then shalt thou have thy delight in the Almighty Thou shalt find delight, not only or chiefly in these outward comforts, but also and especially in God, whose face shall shine upon thee; and who shall give thee these things, not in anger, as he doth to wicked men, but as pledges of his love and favour to thee, and of those greater and eternal blessings which he hath in store for thee. And accordingly thou shalt delight thyself in him as worldly people delight themselves in... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Job 22:1-30

22:1-26:14 THIRD ROUND OF ARGUMENTEliphaz speaks (22:1-30)In the first two rounds Eliphaz had not been as severe on Job as the others. Now, however, he attacks Job with specific accusations. He argues that since a person can add nothing to God, God would not make Job suffer in the hope of gaining some benefit for himself. The reason for Job’s suffering must lie with Job, not with God (22:1-3. Note how once again Eliphaz refers back to the main part of his dream; cf. 4:17-19). And since God... read more

1. Eliphaz’s third speech ch. 22In his third speech Eliphaz was even more discourteous than he had been previously."He [Eliphaz] made three serious accusations against Job: he is a sinner (Job 22:1-11), he is hiding his sins (Job 22:12-20), and he must confess his sins and repent before God can help him (Job 22:21-30)."

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Job 22:21-30

Job’s need to repent 22:21-30This appeal sounds almost tender. However, Eliphaz had been very condemning in what he had just accused Job of doing and thinking. Job did not need to repent, as Eliphaz suggested (Job 22:23). He was not suffering because he had sinned greatly.We should not use this type of approach when appealing to the unsaved today because God does not require reformation before He will accept a sinner. Furthermore, He does not promise physical prosperity to those who repent.... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Job 22:1-30

The Last Speech of Eliphaz1-11. Eliphaz ignoring Job’s last speech, perhaps because he could not answer it, argues that God’s treatment of man must be impartial, since He has nothing to gain or lose at his hands. Job can therefore only be suffering for his sins, and Eliphaz suggests those of which he has been guilty.2b. RV ’Surely he that is wise is profitable to himself’: i.e. benefits himself only.3. Pleasure] rather, ’advantage.’4. RV ’Is it for thy fear of him that he reproveth thee, that... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Job 22:1-40

The Third Series of Speeches (Job 22-31)Having failed to convince Job by the argument derived from God’s greatness and wisdom, and to make good their assertion that it fared ill with the wicked, the friends have only one new line of argument left. This is a downright accusation of Job as a high-handed tyrant. Eliphaz adopts this, though he softens its severity by a fervent exhortation to Job, and a description of the felicity that awaits him if he will but make peace with God. The rest of the... read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Job 22:1-30

Job 22:5 f 'There was no shadow of truth in the accusation,' Mark Rutherford observes. 'But what a world that must have been when the Church's anathemas were reserved for him who exacted pledges from his brother, who neglected the famishing, and who paid undue respect to the great!' We require higher tasks because we do not recognize the height of those we have. Trying to be kind and honest seems an affair too simple and too inconsequential for gentlemen of our heroic mould; we had rather set... read more
