Context — Job's Dialogue on Righteousnessgenerated
Job 22:23 is part of a larger discourse where Eliphaz the Temanite speaks to Job, urging him to return to God for restoration. This passage emphasizes the importance of turning away from injustice and highlights the relationship between one's actions and divine favor. Eliphaz suggests that true restoration comes from both returning to God and removing moral wrongs from one's life, reflecting a common theme in the wisdom literature of the Old Testament.

The Key Word — שַׁ֭דַּי, Sha.daigenerated
The word שׁוּב (shuv) is a verb that means 'to return' or 'to turn back.' It can refer to a physical return or a spiritual one, such as repenting. In this verse, it is used in the second person masculine singular form, indicating that Eliphaz is directly addressing Job, urging him to make a conscious decision to return to God.
The use of שַׁדַּי (Shadday) emphasizes God's almighty power and authority. This name for God is often associated with His ability to provide and protect. Eliphaz is reminding Job that restoration comes from turning to the all-powerful God, who has the capability to rebuild and establish.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, which uses you will be restored and remove injustice.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The verse consists of two conditional clauses introduced by אִם (if), with the main verbs being תָּשׁוּב (you will return) and תִּבָּנֶה (you will be built up). Each clause presents a condition followed by a consequence, emphasizing the relationship between returning to God and experiencing restoration.
The structure highlights a cause-and-effect relationship, with the actions of returning and removing injustice leading to the promised restoration. The Hebrew word order places emphasis on the conditions that must be met for the restoration to occur.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates שׁוּב as ἐπιστραφῇς, which also means 'you will return.' This choice aligns closely with the Hebrew meaning, emphasizing the act of turning back to God.
The term שַׁדַּי is rendered as κυρίου, meaning 'Lord.' This reflects a common practice in the Septuagint of substituting the divine name with a title, which may indicate a broader understanding of God's authority.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated
Job 22:23 encourages a return to God for restoration and the removal of injustice from one's life. Eliphaz tells Job that if he turns back to the Almighty, he will be rebuilt, and if he puts away wrongdoing from his dwelling, he will find favor.
Frequently Asked Questionsgenerated
Returning to the Almighty means turning back to God in repentance, seeking His guidance and forgiveness, and restoring the relationship that may have been damaged by sin.
Removing injustice involves eliminating wrongdoing and moral failures from one's life and surroundings, ensuring that one's actions align with God's standards of righteousness.
Being restored refers to being rebuilt or established again, often in a spiritual sense, where one's relationship with God is renewed and strengthened.

And he expresseth it in this manner, because he thought Job to be a hypocrite, and therefore counselleth him to turn to God in another and better manner than he had done, to wit, with all his heart, and not feignedly.

The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran
The Masoretic Text reads אִם־ תָּשׁ֣וּב עַד־ שַׁ֭דַּי תִּבָּנֶ֑ה תַּרְחִ֥יק עַ֝וְלָ֗ה מֵאָהֳלֶֽךָ׃. The Septuagint matches 4 of the 8 words, indicating a significant agreement in the core message, though the word order and specific articles differ.
אִם־ תָּשׁ֣וּב עַד־ שַׁ֭דַּי תִּבָּנֶ֑ה תַּרְחִ֥יק עַ֝וְלָ֗ה מֵאָהֳלֶֽךָ׃
4 of the 8 words are matched. This is the word-by-word correspondence, not the Septuagint's own sentence — its word order and its articles are its own.
Four traditions, not one. “On the leather” means the letters physically survive on the scroll, as against letters an editor has supplied to fill a hole in it — a restoration is a scholar’s reading, not a reading of the manuscript.
