29 When people are brought low and you say, 'Lift them up!' then he will save the downcast.
29 When men are cast down, then thou shalt say, There is lifting up; and he shall save the humble
29 For when they are humbled you say, 'It is because of pride';
29 To those who feel low you'll say, 'Chin up! Be brave!' and God will save them.
29 When they cast you down, and you say, 'Exaltation will come!' Then He will save the humble person.
29 If people are in trouble and you say, 'Help them,' God will save them.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Job 22:29
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.
