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.

The third cycle of addresses begins again with Eliphaz, the wise man from Teman. He tries to maintain his dignity and lofty conception, but he proves too well that Job’s accusation of... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Job 22:1-30

JOB'S SIN EXPOSED BEFORE GOD (vv.1-8) Eliphaz considered that he was representing God in speaking, and exposing what he imagined were the sins of Job. He first asks a question that it is well worth considering, "Can a man be profitable to God, though he who is wise may be profitable to himself?" (v.2). Certainly it is folly for anyone to think that he is doing God a favour by his righteousness, for to be perfectly right is nothing more than he should be. But in Eliphaz speaking to Job, this... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Job 22:1-30

THIRD SERIES OF THE DEBATE 1. With Eliphaz (chaps. 22-24) a. Speech of Eliphaz (chap. 22) b. Reply of Job (chaps. 23-24) 2. With Bildad (chaps. 25-26) a. Speech of Bildad (chap. 25) b. Reply of Job (chap. 26) 3. With Zophar (chaps. 27-31) a. Continuation of the reply of Job (chaps. 27-31) The last speech Eliphaz makes, chapter 22, is a grand effort to refute Job based upon the latter’s appeal to facts. There is more severity in it than he has shown before. He charges Job with cruelty,... read more

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Job 22:1-30

The Last Speech of Eliphaz Job 22:0 There are two interpretations of Scripture. One is the critical and literal, dealing searchingly and usefully with the grammar of the text, seeking to know exactly what each speaker and each writer meant at the very time of his utterance and at the very time of his authorship. That must always be a work of high utility. We cannot, indeed, proceed legitimately until we have settled the grammar of the text. But we should not rest there. There is a second... read more

If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up, thou shalt put away iniquity far from thy tabernacles. 24. Then shalt thou lay up gold as dust, and the gold of Ophir as the stones of the brooks. 25. Yea, the Almighty shall be thy defence, and thou shalt have plenty of silver. 26.

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Job 22:21-22

(21) ¶ Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee. (22) Receive, I pray thee, the law from his mouth, and lay up his words in thine heart. There is a great deal of sound truth, and sound gospel, in this advice of Eliphaz. An acquaintance with GOD, must be the only foundation for true peace with him. He that cometh to GOD must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Hebrews 11:6 . Reader! until we know GOD in CHRIST,... read more
