Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Job 22:23

(23) Thou shalt put away iniquity.—All this implies the imputation of apostasy and iniquity to Job. read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Job 22:24

(24) The gold of Ophir.—And, moreover, that the wealth for which he was so famous among the children of the East was the accumulation of iniquity and wrong-doing. The sense probably is, “Put thy treasure on a level with the dust, and the gold of Ophir among the stones of the brooks”: that is, reckon it of no more value than such stones; do not set thine heart upon it. The situation of Ophir has always been a matter of dispute. Josephus placed it in India (Antt. viii. 6, § 4), as do some... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Job 22:25

(25) The Almighty shall be thy defence.—Rather, And the Almighty shall be thy treasure, and precious silver unto thee. The word thus qualifying silver occurs only three other times in the Bible: Psalms 95:4, “The strength of the hills”; Numbers 22:23-24, “the strength of a unicorn.” Its original idea is probably brightness or splendour. read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Job 22:1-30

XIX.DOGMATIC AND MORAL ERRORJob 22:1-30ELIPHAZ SPEAKSTHE second colloquy has practically exhausted the subject of debate between Job and his friends. The three have really nothing more to say in the way of argument or awful example. It is only Eliphaz who tries to clinch the matter by directly accusing Job of base and cowardly offences. Bildad recites what may be called a short ode, and Zophar, if he speaks at all, simply repeats himself as one determined if possible to have the last word.And... read more

The Third Series of Controversies CHAPTER 22 The Third Address of Eliphaz 1. Is not thy wickedness great? (Job 22:1-5 ) 2. In what Job had sinned (Job 22:6-11 ) 3.
