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...

“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....

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...
