| Job 22:1 |
|
Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite, and said, |
|
|
|
|
| Job 22:2 |
|
Can a man be profitable unto God? Surely he
that is wise is profitable unto himself. |
| |
|
|

Is it any pleasure to the Almighty, that thou
art righteous? Or is it gain to him, that thou makest thy ways perfect? |
| |
|
|

Is it for thy fear of him that he reproveth
thee, That he entereth with thee into judgment? |
| |
|
|
| Job 22:5 |
|
Is not thy wickedness great? Neither is there
any end to thine iniquities. |
| |
|
|
| Job 22:6 |

For thou hast taken pledges of thy brother for
nought, And stripped the naked of their clothing. |
| |
|
|

Thou hast not given water to the weary to drink,
And thou hast withholden bread from the hungry. |

And the honorable man, he dwelt in it. |
|
|

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, so 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, What doth God know? Can he
judge through the thick darkness? |
|
|
|
| Job 22:14 |
|
Thick clouds are a covering to him, so that
he seeth not; And he walketh on the vault of heaven. |
|
|
|
| Job 22:15 |
|
Wilt thou keep the old way Which wicked men
have trodden? |
|
|
|
| Job 22:16 |
|
Who were snatched away before their time, Whose
foundation was poured out as a stream, |
|
|
|
| Job 22:17 |
|
Who said unto God, Depart from us; And, What
can the Almighty do for us? |
|
|
|
| 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 |
|
Saying, Surely they that did rise up against
us are cut off, And the remnant of them the fire hath consumed. |
| |
|
|
| 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 thy heart. |
|
|
|
|
| Job 22:23 |
|
If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt be
built up, If thou put away unrighteousness far from thy tents. |
|
|
|
|
| Job 22:24 |
|
And lay thou thy treasure in the dust, And the
gold of Ophir among the stones of the brooks; |
|
|
|
|
| Job 22:25 |
|
And the Almighty will be thy treasure, And precious
silver unto thee. |
|
|
|
|
| Job 22:26 |
|
For then shalt thou delight thyself in the Almighty,
And shalt lift up thy face unto God. |
|
|
|
|
| Job 22:27 |
|
Thou shalt make thy prayer unto him, and he
will 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 light shall shine upon thy ways. |
|
|
|
|
| Job 22:29 |
|
When they cast thee down, thou shalt say, There
is lifting up; And the humble person he will save. |
|
|
|
|
| Job 22:30 |
|
He will deliver even him that is not innocent:
Yea, he shall be delivered through the cleanness of thy hands. |
