chapter_Job_22
Job 22:1: And Eliphaz the Temanite answereth and saith: &#8212; Job 22:2: To God is a man profitable, Because a wise man to himself is profitable? Job 22:3: Is it a delight to the Mighty One That thou art righteous? is it gain, That thou makest perfect thy ways? Job 22:4: Because of thy reverence Doth He reason with thee? He entereth with thee into judgment: Job 22:5: Is not thy wickedness abundant? And there is no end to thine iniquities. Job 22:6: For thou takest a pledge of thy brother for nought, And the garments of the naked Thou dost strip off. Job 22:7: Thou causest not the weary to drink water, And from the hungry thou withholdest bread. Job 22:8: As to the man of arm &#8212; he hath the earth, And the accepted of face &#8212; he dwelleth in it. Job 22:9: Widows thou hast sent away empty, And the arms of the fatherless are bruised. Job 22:10: Therefore round about thee are snares, And trouble thee doth fear suddenly. Job 22:11: Or darkness &#8212; thou dost not see, And abundance of waters doth cover thee. Job 22:12: Is not God high in heaven? And see the summit of the stars, That they are high. Job 22:13: And thou hast said, 'What &#8212; hath God known? Through thickness doth He judge? Job 22:14: Thick clouds are a secret place to Him, And He doth not see;' And the circle of the heavens He walketh habitually, Job 22:15: The path of the age dost thou observe, That men of iniquity have trodden? Job 22:16: Who have been cut down unexpectedly, A flood is poured out on their foundation. Job 22:17: Those saying to God, 'Turn aside from us,' And what doth the Mighty One to them? Job 22:18: And he hath filled their houses with good: (And the counsel of the wicked Hath been far from me.) Job 22:19: See do the righteous and they rejoice, And the innocent mocketh at them, Job 22:20: 'Surely our substance hath not been cut off, And their excellency hath fire consumed.' Job 22:21: Acquaint thyself, I pray thee, with Him, And be at peace, Thereby thine increase is good. Job 22:22: Receive, I pray thee, from His mouth a law, And set His sayings in thy heart. Job 22:23: If thou dost return unto the Mighty Thou art built up, Thou puttest iniquity far from thy tents. Job 22:24: So as to set on the dust a defence, And on a rock of the valleys a covering. Job 22:25: And the Mighty hath been thy defence, And silver is strength to thee. Job 22:26: For then on the Mighty thou delightest thyself, And dost lift up unto God thy face, Job 22:27: Thou dost make supplication unto Him, And He doth hear thee, And thy vows thou completest. Job 22:28: And thou decreest a saying, And it is established to thee, And on thy ways hath light shone. Job 22:29: For they have made low, And thou sayest, 'Lift up.' And the bowed down of eyes he saveth. Job 22:30: He delivereth the not innocent, Yea, he hath been delivered By the cleanness of thy hands.
