Job 22:15-28

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Job 22:28-29

Job 22:28-29. It shall be established Thy purposes shall not be disappointed, but ratified by God. And in all thy counsels and actions God shall give thee the light of his direction and governance, and of comfort and success. When men are cast down When, in a time of general calamity, all are cast down round about thee, cast down in their affairs, cast down in their spirits, sinking, desponding, ready to despair; when men’s hearts fail them for fear, or, rather, according to the Hebrew,... 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

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

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Job 22:17

A CLUMSY EFFORT TO REPLY TO JOB'S WORDS IN JOB 21:14"Who said unto God, Depart from us;And what can the Almighty do for us?Yet he filled their houses with good things:But the counsel of the wicked is far from me.The righteous see it, and are glad;And the innocent laugh them to scorn,Saying, Surely they that did rise up against us are cut off,And the remnant of them the fire hath consumed.""Who said unto God, Depart from us, etc." (Job 22:18). Eliphaz in this and the following verse quoted the... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Job 22:15-20

Job 22:15-20. Hast thou marked? &c.— As the universal deluge was a most signal and memorable instance of God's displeasure against wickedness and wicked men, Eliphaz takes occasion to enlarge upon it for five or six verses together, as a proper lesson (so he thought it) for his friend; and then closes it with the mention of another destruction by fire, either past or to be expected, which is described to be as general and as fatal to the wicked: and the remnant of them the fire consumeth,... read more
