“Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee. him: that is, God”
Job 22:21 (KJV)
Commentary on Job 22:21
Eliphaz urges: 'Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee.' The verb sakan (סָכַן, acquaint) means to be familiar with, to befriend. Shalom (שָׁלוֹם, peace) denotes wholeness, completeness, harmony with God. Tovah (טוֹבָה, good) refers to prosperity and blessing. Eliphaz's counsel contains truth—relationship with God brings peace and blessing. However, he assumes Job lacks this relationship, making true advice misapplied. The verse demonstrates that even biblical counsel becomes false witness when wrongly applied.
