22:29 {u} When [men] are cast down, then thou shalt say, [There is] lifting up; and he shall save the humble person.
(u) God will deliver his when the wicked are destroyed round about them, as in the flood and in Sodom.
22:29 Cast down - All round about thee, in a time of general calamity. There is - God will deliver thee. He - God.
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.
