Job 22 |
King James Version
The listed verse explanations of the individual persons have nothing to do with the explanations of the other persons. This also applies to the Bible translations.
Job 22:1 Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,
Eliphaz shows that a man’s goodness profits not God
Eliphaz considers that, because Job complained so much of his afflictions, he thought God was unjust in afflicting him; but Job was far from thinking so. What Eliphaz says, is unjustly applied to Job, but it is very true, that when God does us good it is not because he is indebted to us. Man’s piety is no profit to God, no gain. The gains of religion to men are infinitely greater than the losses of it. God is a Sovereign, who gives no account of his conduct; but he is perfectly wise, just, faithful, good, and merciful. He approves the likeness of his own holiness, and delights in the fruits of his Spirit; he accepts the thankful services of the humble believer, while he rejects the proud claim of the self-confident.

1Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,2Can a man be profitable unto God, as he that is wise may be profitable unto himself?3[Is it] any pleasure to the Almighty, that thou art righteous? or [is it] gain [to him], that thou makest thy ways perfect?4Will he reprove thee for fear of thee? will he enter with thee into judgment?

“Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said, ‘Is it not the Lord who teaches understanding and knowledge?’ ” After being defeated, Eliphaz eventually agrees with this. Then, since what had been said allowed everyone to come to the conclusion that Job was not impious and that the conduct of a person could not be judged on the basis of his punishments, notice the perfidy at which he almost arrives to suppress the role of Providence. - "Commentary on Job 22.2"

Title: Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Whole Bible Author: Matthew Henry
“What does it matter to the Lord, if you were blameless in your works?” That is, it has no importance for God. “Or does he gain any profit from the righteousness of your conduct?” It cannot be said that, in fact, it contributes to him any advantage, he says. Since Job in every possible manner had said that God did this and because of him I am suffering, Eliphaz wants to show that [his afflictions] do not come from God. “Or, in order to make a case against you, will he accuse you and enter into judgment with you?” Yes, you can be as righteous as you want, it does not matter for him, and he has no consideration for you, that is, what you do deserves little interest on the part of God. In fact, if he really wanted to judge you, he would have found your faults. - "Commentary on Job 22.3–4"

Job 22:5 [Is] not thy wickedness great? and thine iniquities infinite?

5[Is] not thy wickedness great? and thine iniquities infinite?6For thou hast taken a pledge from thy brother for nought, and stripped the naked of their clothing.7Thou hast not given water to the weary to drink, and thou hast withholden bread from the hungry.8But [as for] the mighty man, he had the earth; and the honourable man dwelt in it.9Thou hast sent widows away empty, and the arms of the fatherless have been broken.10Therefore snares [are] round about thee, and sudden fear troubleth thee;11Or darkness, [that] thou canst not see; and abundance of waters cover thee.12[Is] not God in the height of heaven? and behold the height of the stars, how high they are!13And thou sayest, How doth God know? can he judge through the dark cloud?14Thick clouds [are] a covering to him, that he seeth not; and he walketh in the circuit of heaven.

Eliphaz would have Job mark the old way that wicked men have trodden, and see what the end of their way was. It is good for us to mark it, that we may not walk therein. But if others are consumed, and we are not, instead of blaming them, and lifting up ourselves, as Eliphaz does here, we ought to be thankful to God, and take it for a warning.

Job 22:21 Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee.
Eliphaz exhorts Job to repentance
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, as to Job, it was built upon a false supposition that he was a stranger and enemy to God. Let us beware of slandering our brethren; and if it be our lot to suffer in this manner, let us remember how Job was treated; yea, how Jesus was reviled, that we may be patient. Let us examine whether there may not be some color for the slander, and walk watchfully, so as to be clear of all appearances of evil.

21Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee.22Receive, I pray thee, the law from his mouth, and lay up his words in thine heart.23If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up, thou shalt put away iniquity far from thy tabernacles.24Then shalt thou lay up gold as dust, and the [gold] of Ophir as the stones of the brooks.25Yea, the Almighty shall be thy defence, and thou shalt have plenty of silver.26For then shalt thou have thy delight in the Almighty, and shalt lift up thy face unto God.27Thou shalt make thy prayer unto him, and he shall hear thee, and thou shalt pay thy vows.28Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways.29When [men] are cast down, then thou shalt say, [There is] lifting up; and he shall save the humble person.30He shall deliver the island of the innocent: and it is delivered by the pureness of thine hands.
