1-4:  Eliphaz shews that man's goodness profits not God.
5-20:  He accuses Job of divers sins.
21-30:  He exhorts him to repentance, with promises of mercy.
Job 22:1• 1Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said, (Job 22:1)
• With the present series we reach the conclusion of the controversy so far as the friends were concerned. Beyond a wearisome reiteration of their former arguments, if such they can be called, there is nothing of importance advanced by them....On the other hand, Job waxes stronger and stronger. He replies with vigor and a good deal of conclusiveness to the remarks of his friends, and in a way which effectually closes their mouths. But his own mouth remains open to pour forth the misery of his unrelieved heart; and the dark cloud still hangs between himself and God. (“Job 3-31” by S. Ridout)
• Job’s sin in view of God’s greatness (chap. 22:1-5).In this first portion Eliphaz dwells upon God’s infinite greatness and sufficiency unto Himself. Is man profitable to God? Does he add anything to the infinite full-ness of the Creator? A wise man is profitable to himself, but in no sense is God dependent upon him. (“Job 3-31” by S. Ridout)
