5. He accuses Job of various sins
21. He exhorts him to repentance, with promises of mercy














(26) Then shalt thou have thy delight in the Almighty.--Zophar had told him the same thing, that he should lift up his face without spot (Job 11:15).

Verse 26. - For then shalt thou have thy delight in the Almighty.

Thou shalt have blessings at his hands instead of sufferings, rewards instead of punishments. Therefore shalt thou delight in him, and shalt lift up thy rites unto God; i.e. "shalt turn towards him, like the sunflower towards the sun, end bask in the light of his countenance."
