Verse Job 22:25. _THOU SHALT HAVE PLENTY OF SILVER._] Here again the

of Eliphaz is sufficiently plain: "To those whom God loves be...

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.

“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
