Verse 22 is found in chapter 22 of Job. Eliphaz invites Job to reconcile himself with God, abandon injustice, and return to divine instruction. He promises that Job would then have prosperity and the ability to help others. The call to return contains spiritually positive language, but within the conversation it functions as an accusation because it assumes a moral rupture that Job does not acknowledge.

Höre das Gesetz von seinem Munde und fasse seine Reden in dein Herz.
Toma ahora la ley de su boca, Y pon sus palabras en tu corazón.
Recibe la instrucción de su boca y guarda sus palabras en tu corazón.
Reçois de sa bouche l'instruction, Et mets dans ton coeur ses paroles.
Deh! ricevi la legge dalla sua bocca, E riponi le sue parole nel cuor tuo.
Aceita, peço-te, a lei da sua boca, e põe as suas palavras no teu coração.
你當領受他口中的教導, 將他的言語存在心裏。
