D. The Third cycle of Speeches between Job and His Three Friends chs. 22-27In round one of the debate Job’s friends probed his intellect, and in round two they probed his conscience. In round three they probed specific issues."The lamentable fact is that the friends endorsed Satan’s view of Job as a hypocrite. Thinking to defend God, they became Satan’s advocates, insisting that he whom God designated as His servant belonged to the devil." [Note: Kline, p. 477.] We could summarize the... 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)."

Job’s social sins 22:6-11Job 22:8 probably reflects what Eliphaz thought Job’s attitude was. Eliphaz implied that Job arrogantly believed the strong, respected man of the world, not the godly man, is the one who controls others and dominates those around him. [Note: Gordis, p. 180.] Were Eliphaz’s accusations valid? Were these sins Job had really committed? Job denied them in Job 31:16-22. read more

Job’s spiritual defiance 22:12-20Eliphaz proceeded next to judge Job’s motives. He assumed Job had concluded that because God was far away in heaven, he would get away with sin on earth. However, Job had affirmed God’s omniscience (Job 21:22)."Presuming to read Job’s secret thoughts, Eliphaz puts in Job’s mouth blasphemies untrue to the sentiments he has actually expressed (Job 22:12-14)." [Note: Kline, p. 478.] Perhaps Eliphaz had in mind the wicked of Noah’s generation in Job 22:15-16. In Job... 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

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Job 22:12
Job 22:12. Is not God in the height of heaven?— Is not God high above the heavens? Yea, see the summit of the stars how high they are. This verse is the answer which he supposes Job to make; the consequences of which he draws out at large in the following verses. He takes his handle from Job 22:16 of the former chapter, as appears from his retorting the latter clause of it against Job in Job 22:18. See Heath; who observes, that the particle rendered and at the beginning of the next verse,... read more
