Job 22:27
Vows, after obtaining thy requests. (Menochius) --- Et positis aris jam vota in littore solves. (Virgil, \'c6neid iii.)
Vows, after obtaining thy requests. (Menochius) --- Et positis aris jam vota in littore solves. (Virgil, \'c6neid iii.)
Verse Job 22:27. _THOU SHALT MAKE THY PRAYER UNTO HIM_] תעתיר _tatir, thou_ _shalt open_ or _unbosom thyself_. And when the _heart_ prays, God hears; and the person, being blessed, vows fidelity, pray...
THOU SHALT MAKE THY PRAYER UNTO HIM - God would then hear him, for he would be righteous. This was one of the blessings which would follow reconciliation. It is, in fact, one of the blessings of a ret...
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...
_pay thy vows_ In making requests in prayer it was customary to make a vow to sacrifice or offer unto the Lord if the prayer was granted. Job shall have cause to fulfil his vows, his prayers being hea...
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...
4. Repent, and restoration will be certain. (Job 22:21-30) TEXT 22:21-30 21 ACQUAINT NOW THYSELF WITH HIM, AND BE AT PEACE: Thereby good shall come onto thee. 22 Receive, I pray thee, the law from...

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...
THOU SHALT PAY THY VOWS] Job should carry out the promises made to God in times of distress: cp. Psalms 50:14...
Job wished that God did not watch him (Job 7:19). But Job hoped for the day when he could speak with God (Job 14:15). Eliphaz promised a good life to Job, if only Job would confess his evil deeds. An...

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...
THOU SHALT MAKE THY PRAYER UNTO HIM,.... To God, and him only; for not a creature, angels, or men, are to be prayed to; and this is to be done in a supplicating, entreating way, as the word signifies;...
Thou shalt make thy prayer unto him, and he shall hear thee, and thou shalt pay thy vows. Ver. 27. _Thou shalt make thy prayer unto him, and he shall hear thee_] Yea, though thou multiply prayers, _M...
_Thou shalt make thy prayer unto him_ Hebrew, תעתיר אליו, _tagnter eelaiv_, thou shalt pray earnestly and importunately, or, _thou shalt multiply thy prayer._ Under all thy burdens, in all thy wants,...
AN ADMONITION TO REPENT...
Thou shalt make thy prayer unto Him, with a firm trust in God's willingness to hear, AND HE SHALL HEAR THEE, AND THOU SHALT PAY THY VOWS, fulfilling the pledges which he had made in the event of his p...
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...
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,...
HEAR THEE, i.e. answer thy prayers, and not disregard them, and hide himself from thee, as now he doth. THOU SHALT PAY THY VOWS, i.e. thou shalt obtain those blessings for which thou didst make vows t...

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...
_For then shalt thou have thy delight in the Almighty._ AN OUTLINE OF THE DEVOUT LIFE These words can be raised to a higher level than that on which Eliphaz placed them, and regarded as describing t...
_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...
