Will he reprove you for fear of you? will he enter with you into judgment?
All Commentaries on Job 22:4 Go To Job 22
Gregory The Dialogist
AD 604
3. Who that was out of his senses even would think this, that from fear the Lord reproves us, and from dread sets His judgment against us? But they who do not know how to mete their words, doubtless slip down to idle discourse. Wherein if they never at all take themselves to task, without delay they leap forth to words mischievous and insulting. Hence Eliphaz, who brought in idle words, immediately burst out into abusive ones.
