Vers. 23. If thou return unto the Almighty.
Vers. 23. If thou returne unto the Allmighty.
To Return is used frequently in Scripture in a metaphorical sense, and signifies as much as to repent; sin is a going away from God, great sinning is a going far from God, a going, as it were, into a far Country, such sinners would go out of Gods sight, and fall out of his memory. Eliphas had charged Job deeply with such departures; and now he speaks to him of returning.
To Returne is used frequently in Scripture in a metaphoricall sense, and signifies as much as to repent; sin is a going away from God, great sinning is a going farre from God, a going, as it were, into a farre Country, such sinners would goe out of Gods sight, and fall out of his memory. Eliphas had charged Job deeply with such departures; and now he speakes to him of returning.
And here we may consider the condition or state of Job, and the season in which Eliphaz presseth him to this duty, he was in an afflicted condition, the hand of God was upon him. Now Eliphaz adviseth him to return; Intimating at least, that the present dispensation of God towards him, was a special opportunity for the duty he moved him unto.
