Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Job 22:12

Is not God in the height of heaven? - In the highest heaven. That is, Is not God exalted over all worlds? This seems to be intended to refer to the sentiments of Job, as if he had maintained that God was so exalted that he could not notice what was occurring on earth. It should, therefore, be read in connection with the following verse: “God is so exalted, that thou sayest, How can he know? Can he look down through the thick clouds which intervene between him and man?” Job had maintained no... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Job 22:13

And thou sayest, How doth God know? - That is, it “follows” from what you have said; or the opinion which you have advanced is “the same” as if you had affirmed this. How common it is to charge a man with holding what we “infer,” from something which he has advanced, he must hold, and then to proceed to argue “as if” he actually held that. The philosophy of this is plain. He advances a certain opinion. “We” infer at once that he can hold that only on certain grounds, or that if he holds that he... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Job 22:10-11

Job 22:10-11. Therefore snares are round about thee For these and the like crimes thou art encompassed with dangers and calamities. And sudden fear troubleth thee Besides thy present miseries, thou art tormented with the dread of further and greater judgments. Or darkness, that thou canst not see Such confusion and perplexity of mind that thou canst not discern the true cause and use of thy sufferings; or grievous calamities, often called darkness, which are such that thou canst see no... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Job 22:12

Job 22:12. Is not God in the height of heaven? Surely, he is; and from that high tower he looketh down upon men, to behold, and govern, and recompense all their actions, whether good or bad. And, therefore, O Job, thou art grossly mistaken, in thinking that good men suffer as deeply as any others in this lower world, while the vilest of men flourish and are exalted; which would imply that all things are managed here by chance, or without any regard to justice and to just men, and not by the... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Job 22:13

Job 22:13. And Or therefore, thou sayest, How doth God know? &c. From this true and certain principle, thou drawest a false and wicked conclusion, and fanciest, perhaps, that because he is so high he minds not what is done here below: or, that he cannot discern the difference of things so very remote, through those immense and innumerable clouds which lie between the heaven and the earth. 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

ELIPHAZ WARNS: JOB CANNOT HIDE HIS SINS FROM GOD"Is not God in the height of heaven?And behold the height of the stars, how high they are!And thou sayest, What doth God know?Can he judge through the thick darkness?Thick clouds are a covering to him, so that he seeth not;And he walketh on the vault of heaven.Wilt thou keep the old wayWhich wicked men have trodden?Who were snatched away before their time,Whose foundation was poured out as a stream."Eliphaz parades himself as a mind-reader in this... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Job 22:11

Job 22:11. Or darkness— Thou beholdest darkness, and not light. Houbigant. Heath renders it, Or is it dark, that thou canst not see? Observing that the path of the wicked man is here represented as covered with darkness, so that he cannot see the snares which are laid for him, but falls into them: in antithesis to which, the path of the righteous man is represented in the 28th verse as all light; The light shall shine upon thy ways? Houbigant renders the last cause of the 9th verse, and thou... read more
