Job 22:26 - Exposition

For then shalt thou have thy delight in the Almighty . God shall no longer be a terror and alarm to thee, as he is at present ( Job 7:17-20 ; Job 9:17 , Job 9:34 ; Job 10:15-17 ; Job 13:21 ; Job 19:6-13 , etc.), but a source of rejoicing and joy. Thou shalt have blessings at his hands instead of sufferings, rewards instead of punishments. Therefore shalt thou delight in him, and shalt lift up thy rites unto God; i.e. "shalt turn towards him, like the sunflower towards the sun, end bask in the light of his countenance.''
