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

“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
made a definite charge against Job (1-20); and, second, he mad...

JOB'S SIN EXPOSED BEFORE GOD
(vv.1-8)
Eliphaz considered that he was representing God in speaking, and
exposing what he imagined were the sins of Job. He first asks a
question that it is well worth...

Here is the claim that Job rejected the widows and crushed the
orphans. This sin is condemned throughout the Old Testament (Exodus

Eliphaz returns to the attack, but with observations that are at first

man to God (verses l, 2), and on the s...

So Eliphaz takes up the argument now. And the same old story: he

accusations. He said,
