What Does Job 22:15 Mean?
Eliphaz turns to history, pointing Job to the old, well-worn path of the wicked. He invites Job to consider those who lived in defiance of God in ages past, hinting that Job has joined their company.
There is a sober truth in his question even as he misapplies it. There is indeed an old way that the proud and godless have trodden since ancient days, and Scripture warns us not to walk it. Two paths lie before every person, the way of the wicked and the way of the righteous. The Lord knows the way of the righteous, and He calls us away from the ancient road of rebellion onto the path of life that leads to Him.
