Job 22:21

Verse 21

Third double strophe A FINAL ADMONITION TO REPENTANCE REPENTANCE INSURES RESTORATION OF THE DIVINE FAVOUR, Job 22:21-30.

a. He who lives for God, and sacrifices his all, shall find in God abiding treasures and an inexhaustible mine of bliss, Job 22:21-25.

21. Acquaint now thyself הסכן . The idea that lies at the root of this verb is, of associating or dwelling together, (GESENIUS. Thes., 953;) thence of friendship, which leads the Germans to render, make friends with God.

And be at peace With God and with thyself; for the one implies the other. The former verb expresses the making, the latter, the preservation, of peace.

Good A word bandied in the debate. See note Job 20:21. Also sermons in loc. by Archbishops Atterbury and Sumner.
