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...

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...

Eliphaz did not accuse Job in order to upset him. Eliphaz wanted to help his friend. So Eliphaz hoped that Job would confess his evil deeds to God. Then God would forgive Job. And Job would have a suc...
THE LAW FROM HIS MOUTH. — It would be highly interesting to know whether by this _law_ (Torah), the Law, the Torah, was in any way alluded to. One is naturally disposed to think that since Job seems t...

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...

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,...

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...

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...
