Gill's Notes on the Bible

Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said. As Eliphaz was the first that entered the discussion with Job, being perhaps the oldest man, and might be reckoned the wisest, so he gives the lead in every course of disputation; and here, instead of replying to Job's arguments and instances, at which he was very angry, betakes himself to calumny and reproach, and to draw invidious consequences, instead of making use of solid reasons for conviction and confutation.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER XXII

Eliphaz reproves Job for his attempts to clear his character

and establish his innocence, 1-4.

Charges him with innumerable transgressions; with oppressions

towards his brethren, cruelty to the poor, hard-heartedness

to the needy, and uncharitableness towards the widow and the

orphan; and says it is on these accounts that snares and

desolations are come upon him, 5-11.

Speaks of the majesty and justice of God: how he cut off the

ante-diluvians, the inhabitants of Sodom and the cities of

the plain, 12-20.

Exhorts him to repent and acknowledge his sins, and promises

him great riches and prosperity, 21-30.
