Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Job 22:21

Job 22:21. Acquaint now thyself with him That is, with God, as appears both from Job 22:23, where he is expressed, and from the nature of the matter in hand, there being no other way to happiness. Renew thy acquaintance with God by prayer, and repentance for all thy sins, and true humiliation under his hand, and hearty compliance with all his commands, and diligent care to serve and enjoy him. It is our honour, that we are made capable of this acquaintance; our misery, that by sin we have... read more

Job 22:22. Receive the law from his mouth Take the rule, whereby thou mayest govern thy thoughts, and words, and whole life, not from idolaters and profane heathen, whose opinion concerning God’s providence thou appearest to have embraced, nor from thy own imaginations or violent passions, which have led thee into thy present errors; but from God, and from his law, which is written in thy own mind, and from the doctrines and instructions of the wise and holy men of God, who are all of our... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Job 22:23

Job 22:23. If thou return to the Almighty The Hebrew phrase, תשׁוב עד שׁדי , tashub gnad shaddai, is emphatical, and implies a thorough turning from sin to God, so as to love him, and cleave to him, and sincerely devote a man’s self to his fear and service. Thou shalt be built up God will repair thy ruins, and give thee more children, and bless thee with prosperity. Thou shalt put away iniquity, &c. It is either, 1st, A spiritual promise; if thou dost sincerely repent, God will... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Job 22:24-25

Job 22:24-25 . Then shalt thou lay up gold The word בצר , batzer, here rendered gold, is a word of dubious meaning. R. Levi, indeed, makes it parallel to zahab, gold: Ab. Ezra, to cheseph, silver. “In Arabic,” says Chappelow, “it sometimes signifies some particular stones, diversified with white lines. And this, perhaps, is the true sense of the term.” As dust In great abundance. Or, as על עפר , gnal gnaphar, rather means, upon the dust, or ground. It shall be so plentiful,... read more

Job 22:26. For then shalt thou have thy delight in the Almighty Thou shalt find delight, not only or chiefly in these outward comforts, but also and especially in God, whose face shall shine upon thee; and who shall give thee these things, not in anger, as he doth to wicked men, but as pledges of his love and favour to thee, and of those greater and eternal blessings which he hath in store for thee. And accordingly thou shalt delight thyself in him as worldly people delight themselves in... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Job 22:1-30

22:1-26:14 THIRD ROUND OF ARGUMENTEliphaz speaks (22:1-30)In the first two rounds Eliphaz had not been as severe on Job as the others. Now, however, he attacks Job with specific accusations. He argues that since a person can add nothing to God, God would not make Job suffer in the hope of gaining some benefit for himself. The reason for Job’s suffering must lie with Job, not with God (22:1-3. Note how once again Eliphaz refers back to the main part of his dream; cf. 4:17-19). And since God... read more

E.W. Bullinger's Companion Bible Notes - Job 22:21

Acquaint. This is the false theology of Eliphaz. Compare Job 42:8 . good = blessing. Most codices, with Aramaean, Septuagint, Syriac, and unto = upon. Vulgate, read "thy gain shall be blessing". read more

return. Septuagint adds "and submit thyself". tabernacles = tents. Some codices, with four early printed editions, Septuagint, Syriac, and Vulgate, read "tent"; others, with six early printed editions (and one in margin), read "tents" (plural) read more

"Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace:Thereby good shall come unto thee.Receive, I pray thee, the law from his mouth,And lay up his words in thy heart.If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up,If thou put away unrighteousness far from thy tents.And lay thou thy treasure in the dust,And the gold of Ophir among the stones of the brooks.And the Almighty will be thy treasure,And precious silver unto thee.For then shalt thou delight thyself in the Almighty,And shalt lift up... read more
