Job 22:1 Meaning and Commentary

Job 22:1

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.

Job 22:1 In-Context

1 Y respondió Elifaz temanita, y dijo

2 ¿Por ventura traerá el hombre provecho a Dios? Porque para sí mismo es provechoso el sabio

3 ¿Por ventura tiene su contentamiento el Omnipotente en que tú seas justificado, o le viene algún provecho de que tú hagas perfectos tus caminos

4 ¿Por ventura te reprenderá acaso, o vendrá contigo a juicio porque te teme

5 Por cierto tu malicia es grande, y tus iniquidades no tienen fin
