Morning Bible Study: Job 22:21-30

21 Come to terms with God and be at peace;
in this way good will come to you.
22 Receive instruction from his mouth,
and place his sayings in your heart.
23 If you return to the Almighty, you will be renewed.
If you banish injustice from your tent
24 and consign your gold to the dust,
the gold of Ophir to the stones in the wadis,
25 the Almighty will be your gold
and your finest silver.
26 Then you will delight in the Almighty
and lift up your face to God.
27 You will pray to him, and he will hear you,
and you will fulfill your vows.
28 When you make a decision, it will be carried out,
and light will shine on your ways.
29 When others are humiliated and you say, “Lift them up,”
God will save the humble.
30 He will even rescue the guilty one,
who will be rescued by the purity of your hands.

Commentary
(the following is from Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary, 1706 -- www.christianity.com)

"The answer of Eliphaz wrongly implied that Job had until now not known God, and that prosperity in this life would follow his sincere conversion. The counsel Eliphaz here gives is good, though, as to Job, it was built upon a false supposition that he was a stranger and enemy to God. 

Let us beware of slandering our brother; and if it be our lot to suffer in this manner, let us remember how Job was treated; yea, how Jesus was reviled, that we may be patient. Let us examine whether there may not be some color for the slander, and walk watchfully, so as to be clear of all appearances of evil."
