This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Job 22:1-30. As before, Eliphaz begins.
Eliphaz shows that man’s goodness does not add to, or man’s badness take from, the happiness of God; therefore it cannot be that God sends prosperity to some and calamities on others for His own advantage; the cause of the goods and ills sent must lie in the men themselves (Psa 16:2; Luk 17:10; Act 17:25; 1Ch 29:14). So Job’s calamities must arise from guilt. Eliphaz, instead of meeting the facts, tries to show that it could not be so.
