Job 22:22 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

Receive the law from his mouth Take the rule, whereby thou mayest govern thy thoughts, and words, and whole life, not from idolaters and profane heathen, whose opinion concerning God's providence thou appearest to have embraced, nor from thy own imaginations or violent passions, which have led thee into thy present errors; but from God, and from his law, which is written in thy own mind, and from the doctrines and instructions of the wise and holy men of God, who are all of our mind in this matter. And lay up his words in thy heart Not only hear them with thine ears, but let them sink into thy heart, being received there with hearty affection, and fixed by the serious, frequent, and practical consideration of them.

Job 22:22

22 Receive, I pray thee, the law from his mouth, and lay up his words in thine heart.
