The word imports, first, putting away with indignation; secondly, putting away to the utmost distance; therefore we translate, put away far; 'tis but two words in the Original; Thou shalt put iniquity far &c. Iniquity may be taken either for sin, or for the effects of sin, that is, punishment; if we take it in the ⟨p. 237⟩first sense for sin it self; and then, this latter clause must be understood as a duty; If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up, thou shalt put away iniquity far from thee, that is, It is thy duty to put away iniquity far from thee; as if Eliphaz here did set forth more fully what repentance is; thou shalt be built up if thou return to the Almighty; that is, if thou return so as to put thy iniquity far from thee; if we take iniquity in the second sense, for the punishment of iniquity, then the words are a promise, as if he had said, if thou return &c. then thou shalt rid and discharge thy self and thy house of all the troublesome effects of sin; Thou shalt put iniquity, or all the sad issues and consequents of iniquity, far from thee, none of them shall touch thee to annoy thee.
