(21) В¶ Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee. (22) Receive, I pray thee, the law from his mouth, and lay up his words in thine heart.
There is a great deal of sound truth, and sound gospel, in this advice of Eliphaz. An acquaintance with GOD, must be the only foundation for true peace with him. He that cometh to GOD must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Hebrews 11:6. Reader! until we know GOD in CHRIST, and by the teachings of his blessed SPIRIT are made sensible of our need of him, we shall neither be conscious we need peace, or ever seek or desire it! Hence how earnestly doth the Apostle pray the Church, as an ambassador of CHRIST, to be reconciled to GOD, in the righteousness and death of JESUS. 2 Corinthians 5:20.
