Job 22:30 (BSB)
He will deliver even one who is not innocent, rescuing him through the cleanness of your hands.”
Commentary on Job 22:30
- Matthew Henry (Presbyterian), Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary on Job 22:21-30: 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.
- Jamieson-Fausset-Brown (Reformed), Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible on Job 22:30: island--that is, "dwelling." But the Hebrew expresses the negative (Sa1 4:21); translate "Thus He (God) shall deliver him who was not guiltless," namely, one, who like Job himself on conversion shall be saved, but not because he was, as Job so constantly affirms of himself, guiltless, but because he humbles himself (Job 22:29); an oblique attack on Job, even to the last.

- Keil & Delitzsch (Lutheran), Biblical Commentary on the Old Testament on Job 22:26-30: Job 22:26-30 26 For then thou shalt delight thyself in the Almighty, And lift up they countenance to Eloah; 27 If thou prayest to Him, He will hear thee, And thou shalt pay thy vows. 28 And thou devisest a plan, and it shall be established to thee, And light shineth upon thy ways.
