Job 22:1-11

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.
