Jump to Previous Abundant End Endless Evil-Doing Great Infinite Iniquities Sins WickednessJump to Next Abundant End Endless Evil-Doing Great Infinite Iniquities Sins WickednessJob 22 1. Eliphaz shows that man's goodness profits not God5. He accuses Job of various sins 21. He exhorts him to repentance, with promises of mercy Is not your wickedness great? The word "wickedness" in Hebrew is "רָעָה" (ra'ah), which conveys a sense of evil or moral wrongness. In the context of the Book of Job, Eliphaz, one of Job's friends, is accusing Job of having committed significant moral failings. Historically, this reflects the ancient Near Eastern belief that suffering was directly correlated with personal sin. Eliphaz's question is rhetorical, implying that Job's suffering must be due to his great wickedness. From a conservative Christian perspective, this highlights the misunderstanding of Job's friends regarding the nature of suffering and divine justice. It serves as a reminder that human judgment is often flawed and that God's ways are higher than our ways (Isaiah 55:8-9). Are not your iniquities endless? Parallel Commentaries ...
