30 He shall deliver the island of the innocent: and it is delivered by the pureness of thine hands.
30 He will deliver even one who is not innocent, who will be delivered through the cleanness of your hands."
30 He delivers even the one who is not innocent,
30 Yes, even the guilty will escape, escape through God's grace in your life."
30 He will even deliver one who is not innocent; Yes, he will be delivered by the purity of your hands."
30 Even sinners will be rescued; they will be rescued because your hands are pure."
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Job 22:30
Commentary on Job 22:21-30
(Read Job 22:21-30)
The answer of Eliphaz wrongly implied that Job had hitherto not known God, and that prosperity in this life would follow his sincere conversion. The counsel Eliphaz here gives is good, though, as to Job, it was built upon a false supposition that he was a stranger and enemy to God. Let us beware of slandering our brethren; and if it be our lot to suffer in this manner, let us remember how Job was treated; yea, how Jesus was reviled, that we may be patient. Let us examine whether there may not be some colour for the slander, and walk watchfully, so as to be clear of all appearances of evil.
