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.

Eliphaz, having in Job 22:6 suggested what Job's offences must have
been, now suggests under what feeling in regard to God he must have
committed them. He thought God so far removed from the world tha...

THE LAST SPEECH OF ELIPHAZ

“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
