Job 22:23 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

If thou return to the Almighty The Hebrew phrase, תשׁוב עד שׁדי, tashub gnad shaddai, is emphatical, and implies a thorough turning from sin to God, so as to love him, and cleave to him, and sincerely devote a man's self to his fear and service. Thou shalt be built up God will repair thy ruins, and give thee more children, and bless thee with prosperity. Thou shalt put away iniquity, &c. It is either, 1st, A spiritual promise; if thou dost sincerely repent, God will give thee grace effectually to reform thyself and family: or, 2d, A temporal promise, meaning, thou shalt put away the punishment of thy sins, as iniquity is very often used; far from thy tabernacles From all thy dwellings, and tents, and possessions.
