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