Job 22:26 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

For then shalt thou have thy delight in the Almighty Thou shalt find delight, not only or chiefly in these outward comforts, but also and especially in God, whose face shall shine upon thee; and who shall give thee these things, not in anger, as he doth to wicked men, but as pledges of his love and favour to thee, and of those greater and eternal blessings which he hath in store for thee. And accordingly thou shalt delight thyself in him as worldly people delight themselves in their money, and shalt find real and continual pleasure in worshipping, obeying, and serving him in and with all his mercies. Thus these words contain a reason why he might confidently expect all those forementioned blessings, because he should set his affections on God, and possess his favour, which is the spring and foundation of all good. And lift up thy face unto God Look up to him with cheerfulness and confidence.

Job 22:26

26 For then shalt thou have thy delight in the Almighty, and shalt lift up thy face unto God.
