Verse Job 22:30. _HE SHALL DELIVER THE ISLAND OF THE INNOCENT_] The word אי _ai_, which we translate _island_, is most probably the Arabic particle [Arabic] _whosoever, whatsoever, any, whosoever he...
HE SHALL DELIVER THE ISLAND OF THE INNOCENT - Margin, “the innocent shall deliver the island.” Never was there a more unhappy translation than this; and it is quite clear that our translators had no i...

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 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...
Render, 'He (God) shall even deliver him that is not innocent, (through Job's intercession). 'Yea, he shall be delivered through the cleanness of thy hands' (i.e. on account of Job's piety). This actu...
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...
Eliphaz’s words were sincere. But they had a meaning that Eliphaz did not expect. Job was already a good man (Job 1:8). And Job’s prayers mattered to God (Job 40:1-5), although Job did not yet realise...
HE SHALL DELIVER THE ISLAND OF THE INNOCENT is undoubtedly an error for _He shall deliver him that is not innocent:_ that is, either God shall deliver, or the humble person, if that is the subject of...

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...

REFLECTIONS READER the view here presented to you of Job's exercises, is the more profitable from being the more plain. In all the charges of the friends of Job before, there were none so palpably fal...

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...

JOB—NOTE ON JOB 22:30 Eliphaz suggests that, if Job would repent of his supposed sin, he would be able to intercede even for ONE WHO IS NOT INNOCENT. Eliphaz does not realize that he himself stands in...
_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...
