Silver. Septuagint, "But he shall purify thee, as silver, which has passed the fire." (Haydock)
Verse Job 22:25. _THOU SHALT HAVE PLENTY OF SILVER._] Here again the versions and critics vary. The critics may disagree; but the doctrine of Eliphaz is sufficiently plain: "To those whom God loves be...
YEA, THE ALMIGHTY SHALL BE - Or, rather, “then the Almighty shall be” - והיה _y__e__hâyâh_. The meaning is, that if he would return to God, and cast off his anxiety for gold, “then” the Almighty wou...
THE THIRD SERIES OF CONTROVERSIES CHAPTER 22 The Third Address of Eliphaz _ 1. Is not thy wickedness great? (Job 22:1)_ 2. In what Job had sinned (Job 22:6) 3. The omniscience of God and the ways...
JOB 22. THIRD SPEECH OF ELIPHAZ. The only new thing that Eliphaz has to say, is definitely to describe the sin of Job! Yet his mildness makes him end with bright promises. JOB 22:1. Is it not to Job'...
The Third Circle of Speeches In the first round of speeches the three friends exhausted the argument from the general conception of God. In the second they exhausted the argument from the operation o...
Eliphaz exhorts Job to reconcile himself with God; assuring him of restoration and great felicity if he will do so. The passage consists of two parts, first, a series of exhortations, each of which i...
These verses read, 24. And lay thou thy treasure in the dust, And gold of Ophir among the stones of the brooks; 25. Then shall the Almighty be thy treasure, And silver in plenty unto thee. The wo...

THE LAST SPEECH OF ELIPHAZ 1-11. Eliphaz ignoring Job's last speech, perhaps because he could not answer it, argues that God's treatment of man must be impartial, since He has nothing to gain or lose...
JOB, A SERVANT OF GOD Job _KEITH SIMONS_ Words in boxes (except for words in brackets) are from the Bible. This commentary has been through Advanced Checking. CHAPTER 22 ELIPHAZ’S LAST SPEECH G...
These are good words. Eliphaz realised that real success is not money. Nobody should trust their wealth. We should trust God. Eliphaz emphasised his ideas with humour. Men used to find gold in the roc...
THE ALMIGHTY SHALL BE THY DEFENCE. — Rather, _And the Almighty shall be thy treasure, and precious silver unto thee._ The word thus qualifying silver occurs only three other times in the Bible: Psalms...

XIX. DOGMATIC AND MORAL ERROR Job 22:1 ELIPHAZ SPEAKS THE second colloquy has practically exhausted the subject of debate between Job and his friends. The three have really nothing more to say in t...
“ACQUAINT THYSELF WITH GOD” Job 22:1 Eliphaz opens the third cycle of the discussion with a speech altogether too hard and cruel. He begins with an _enumeration of Job's fancied misdeeds,_ Job 22:1....
Here begins the third cycle in the controversy, and again EIiphaz is the first speaker. His address consisted of two movements. First, he made a definite charge against Job (1-20); and, second, he mad...
(23) 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...
THE FOLLOWING COMMENTARY COVERS CHAPTER S 4 THROUGH 31. As to the friends of Job, they do not call for any extended remarks. They urge the doctrine that God's earthly government is a full measure and...
YEA, THE ALMIGHTY SHALL BE THY DEFENCE,.... In temporal things, secure the plenty of gold and silver possessed of; surround and protect by his providence, that there shall be no danger of the Sabeans...
Yea, the Almighty shall be thy defence, and thou shalt have plenty of silver. Ver. 25. _Yea, the Almighty shall be thy defence_] Or, thy gold, for the same word signifieth both, Job 36:19, because go...
_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 Arabi...
Yea, the Almighty shall be thy defense, literally, "and shall become the Almighty thy pieces of gold," Job's one rich treasure, AND THOU SHALT HAVE PLENTY OF SILVER, silver in bars or heaps, the great...
AN ADMONITION TO REPENT...
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...

The following blessings are promised if Job will only repent: Prosperity,. relationship with God, answered prayers, success of his plans, confidence, and deliverance. God's silence will only be ended,...
21-30 The answer of Eliphaz wrongly implied that Job had hitherto not known God, and that prosperity in this life would follow his sincere conversion. The counsel Eliphaz here gives is good, though,...

CONTENTS: Eliphaz's third discourse, accusing Job again of hypocrisy. CHARACTERS: God, Eliphaz, Job. CONCLUSION: It is the duty of those especially who are in affliction to keep up a perfect acquain...
Job 22:5. _Is not thy wickedness great?_ This speech of Eliphaz is cruel, and very much embittered; for it was mere suspicion that Job had robbed the widow, and stripped the naked. Job replies to it m...
_If thou return to the Almighty._ SPIRITUAL REFORMATION I. The nature of a true spiritual reformation is here set forth. 1. Reconciliation to God. Men in their unregenerate state are out of sympath...
_THIRD SPEECH OF ELIPHAZ THE TEMANITE_ Remonstrates with Job on his self-righteousness, and plainly charges him with grievous transgressions as the cause of his present sufferings; concludes with pro...
EXPOSITION JOB 22:1 Eliphaz returns to the attack, but with observations that are at first strangely pointless and irrelevant, _e.g._ on the unprofitableness of man to God (verses l, 2), and on the s...
So Eliphaz takes up the argument now. And the same old story: he accuses Job of being wicked and he actually makes many bad accusations. He said, Can a man be profitable unto God, as he that is wise m...
