Job 22

Eliphaz begins the third and final cycle of speeches, abandoning all pretense of gentleness. He directly and falsely accuses Job of specific, serious crimes, including refusing water to the thirsty, denying bread to the hungry, and exploiting widows and orphans. Eliphaz argues that Job's suffering is clearly God's judgment for these sins. He urges Job to "agree with God," stop his arrogant complaints, pray to the Almighty, and give generously to the poor to secure his restoration and blessing.
