Gill's Notes on the Bible
Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said. As Eliphaz was the first that entered the discussion with Job, being perhaps the oldest man, and might be reckoned the wisest, so he gives the lead in every course of disputation; and here, instead of replying to Job's arguments and instances, at which he was very angry, betakes himself to calumny and reproach, and to draw invidious consequences, instead of making use of solid reasons for conviction and confutation.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
CHAPTER XXII
Eliphaz reproves Job for his attempts to clear his character
and establish his innocence, 1-4.
Charges him with innumerable transgressions; with oppressions
towards his brethren, cruelty to the poor, hard-heartedness
to the needy, and uncharitableness towards the widow and the
orphan; and says it is on these accounts that snares and
desolations are come upon him, 5-11.
Speaks of the majesty and justice of God: how he cut off the
ante-diluvians, the inhabitants of Sodom and the cities of
the plain, 12-20.
Exhorts him to repent and acknowledge his sins, and promises
him great riches and prosperity, 21-30.
