Job 22:1

Footnotes

1. 79 The third and final cycle of speeches now begins with Eliphaz’ final speech. Eliphaz will here underscore the argument that man’s ills are brought about by sin; he will then deduce from Job’s sufferings the sins he must have committed and the sinful attitude he has about God. The speech has four parts: Job’s suffering is proof of his sin (2–5), Job’s sufferings demonstrate the kinds of sin Job committed (6–11), Job’s attitude about God (12–20), and the final appeal and promise to Job (21–30).
