Job 22

1Then answeredH559 EliphazH464 the TemaniteH8489, and saidH559, 2CanH1397 a manH1397 be profitable unto GodH410? surelyH3588 he that is wiseH7919 is profitable unto himself. 3Is it anyH3588 pleasureH2656 to the AlmightyH7706, that thou art righteousH6663? or is it gainH1215 to him, that thou makest thy waysH1870 perfectH8552? 4Is it for thy fearH3374 of him that he reproveth thee, that he entereth with thee intoH935 judgmentH4941? 5Is notH3808 thy wickednessH7451 greatH7227? neitherH3808 is there anyH369 endH7093 to thine iniquitiesH5771. 6For thou hast takenH6584 pledges of thy brotherH251 for nought, and strippedH6584 the nakedH6174 of their clothingH899. 7Thou hast notH3808 givenH8248 waterH4325 to the wearyH5889 to drinkH8248, and thou hast withholden breadH3899 from the hungryH7456. 8But as for the mightyH2220 manH376, he had the earthH776; and the honourable manH376, he dweltH3427 in it. 9Thou hast sentH7971 widowsH490 awayH7971 emptyH7387, and the armsH2220 of the fatherlessH3490 have been broken. 10Therefore snaresH6341 are roundH5439 aboutH5439 thee, and suddenH6597 fearH6343 troubleth thee, 11Or darknessH2822, that thou canst notH3808 seeH7200, and abundanceH8229 of watersH4325 coverH3680 thee. 12Is notH3808 GodH433 in the heightH1363 of heavenH8064? and beholdH7200 the heightH1363 of the starsH3556, howH3588 highH7311 they are! 13And thou sayest, WhatH4100 doth GodH410 knowH3045? canH4100 he judgeH8199 throughH1157 the thickH6205 darknessH6205? 14ThickH5645 cloudsH5645 are a covering to him, that he seeth notH3808; and he walketh in the circuit of heavenH8064. 15Wilt thou keepH8104 the oldH5769 wayH734 whichH834 wickedH205 menH4962 have troddenH1869? 16Who were snatchedH7059 awayH7059 beforeH3808 their time, whoseH834 foundationH3247 was pouredH3332 outH3332 as a streamH5104: 17Who saidH559 unto GodH410, DepartH5493 from usH559; and, WhatH4100 canH4100 the AlmightyH7706 doH6466 for usH559? 18Yet he fired their housesH1004 with goodH2896 things: but the counselH6098 of the wickedH7563 is farH7368 from meH4480. 19The righteousH6662 seeH7200 it, and are gladH8055; and the innocentH5355 laughH3932 them to scorn: 20Saying, SurelyH518 they that didH3808 rise upH398 against us are cutH3582 offH3582, and the remnant of them the fireH784 hath consumedH398. 21Acquaint nowH4994 thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby goodH2896 shall comeH935 unto thee. 22ReceiveH3947, I prayH4994 thee, the lawH8451 from his mouthH6310, and layH7760 upH7760 his wordsH561 in thine heartH3824. 23IfH518 thou returnH7725 to the AlmightyH7706, thou shalt be builtH1129 upH5704; ifH518 thou putH7725 awayH7725 unrighteousnessH5766 farH5704 from thy tentsH168. 24And layH7896 thou thy treasure in the dustH6083, and the goldH1220 of OphirH211 among the stonesH6697 of the brooks; 25And the AlmightyH7706 shall be thy treasure, and precious silverH3701 unto thee. 26For then shalt thou delightH6026 thyself in the AlmightyH7706, and shalt liftH5375 upH5375 thy faceH6440 unto GodH433. 27Thou shalt makeH8085 thy prayerH6279 unto him, and he shall hearH8085 thee; and thou shalt payH7999 thy vowsH5088. 28Thou shalt also decreeH1504 a thing, and it shall be establishedH6965 unto thee; and lightH216 shall shineH5050 uponH5921 thy waysH1870. 29When they castH8213 thee downH8213, thou shalt sayH559, There is lifting up; and the humble person he shall saveH3467. 30He shall deliverH4422 even him that is not innocentH5355: yea, he shall be deliveredH4422 through the cleannessH1252 of thine handsH3709.
