Job 22:21–30, “Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee. Receive, I pray thee, the law from his mouth, and lay up his words in thine heart. If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up, thou shalt put away iniquity far from thy tabernacles. Then shalt thou lay up gold as dust, and the gold of Ophir as the stones of the brooks. Yea, the Almighty shall be thy defence, and thou shalt have plenty of silver. For then shalt thou have thy delight in the Almighty, and shalt lift up thy face unto God. Thou shalt make thy prayer unto him, and he shall hear thee, and thou shalt pay thy vows. Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways. When men are cast down, then thou shalt say, There is lifting up; and he shall save the humble person. He shall deliver the island of the innocent: and it is delivered by the pureness of thine hands.”
Eliphaz refused to let up on Job. He was determined to make his point and force Job to admit that Job deserved this trouble because Job had sinned. He told Job learn more about God and the way that God worked. He said God always punished sinners here and now and all Job had to do was confess his sin to the Lord. As soon as Job did that, Eliphaz pontificated, everything would be okay again. This theory is still evident today. Many people believe that they will be successful in life and have wealth if they follow the right pathway. However, God’s creation has been marred by sin and everything has become chaotic. Pain and suffering can be random and arbitrary but anyone who trusts in the Lord will be secure forever, even if they suffer setbacks now.
