JOB-22:1 Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,
JOB-22:2 Can a man be profitable unto God, as he that is wise
may be profitable unto himself?
JOB-22:3 [Is it] any pleasure to the Almighty, that thou art
righteous? or [is it] gain [to him], that thou makest thy ways
perfect?
JOB-22:4 Will he reprove thee for fear of thee? will he enter
with thee into judgment?
JOB-22:5 [Is] not thy wickedness great? and thine iniquities
infinite?
JOB-22:6 For thou hast taken a pledge from thy brother for
nought, and stripped the naked of their clothing.
JOB-22:7 Thou hast not given water to the weary to drink, and
thou hast withholden bread from the hungry.
JOB-22:8 But [as for] the mighty man, he had the earth; and the
honourable man dwelt in it.
JOB-22:9 Thou hast sent widows away empty, and the arms of the
fatherless have been broken.
JOB-22:10 Therefore snares [are] round about thee, and sudden
fear troubleth thee;
JOB-22:11 Or darkness, [that] thou canst not see; and abundance
of waters cover thee.
JOB-22:12 [Is] not God in the height of heaven? and behold the
height of the stars, how high they are!
JOB-22:13 And thou sayest, How doth God know? can he judge
through the dark cloud?
JOB-22:14 Thick clouds [are] a covering to him, that he seeth
not; and he walketh in the circuit of heaven.
JOB-22:15 Hast thou marked the old way which wicked men have
trodden?
JOB-22:16 Which were cut down out of time, whose foundation was
overflown with a flood:
JOB-22:17 Which said unto God, Depart from us: and what can the
Almighty do for them?
JOB-22:18 Yet he filled their houses with good [things]: but the
counsel of the wicked is far from me.
JOB-22:19 The righteous see [it], and are glad: and the innocent
laugh them to scorn.
JOB-22:20 Whereas our substance is not cut down, but the remnant
of them the fire consumeth.
JOB-22:21 Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace:
thereby good shall come unto thee.
JOB-22:22 Receive, I pray thee, the law from his mouth, and lay
up his words in thine heart.
JOB-22:23 If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up,
thou shalt put away iniquity far from thy tabernacles.
JOB-22:24 Then shalt thou lay up gold as dust, and the [gold] of
Ophir as the stones of the brooks.
JOB-22:25 Yea, the Almighty shall be thy defence, and thou shalt
have plenty of silver.
JOB-22:26 For then shalt thou have thy delight in the Almighty,
and shalt lift up thy face unto God.
JOB-22:27 Thou shalt make thy prayer unto him, and he shall hear
thee, and thou shalt pay thy vows.
JOB-22:28 Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be
established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways.
JOB-22:29 When [men] are cast down, then thou shalt say, [There
is] lifting up; and he shall save the humble person.
JOB-22:30 He shall deliver the island of the innocent: and it is
delivered by the pureness of thine hands.
