Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Job 22:1

COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD

1. 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 ( Psalms 16:2 ; Luke 17:10 ; Acts 17:25 ; 1 Chronicles 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. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-2" class="com-number"
