Receive instruction from His mouth, and lay up His words in your heart.
Methinks I can almost forgive Eliphaz his hard censures of Job, which we had in the beginning of the chapter, though they were very unjust and unkind, for this good counsel and encouragement which he gives him in these verses with which he closes his discourse, and than which nothing could be better said, nor more to the purpose.
Commenting on Job 22:21-30
If thou return to the Almighty,.... Which supposes a departure from him; and that is by sinning against him, which should be repented of, confessed, and pardoning grace and mercy be implored, by all those that have backslidden, and return to God; to which they are encouraged by his being the "Almighty", who has power to forgive sins, also to cause all grace to abound...
Job 22:21-25 21 Make friends now with Him, so hast thou peace; Thereby good will come unto thee. 22 Receive now teaching from His mouth, And place His utterances in thy heart. 23 If thou returnest to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up again; If thou puttest away iniquity far from thy tents.
