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'...

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...

“ACQUAINT THYSELF WITH GOD”

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....
