Job 22




akjv@Job:22:1 @ Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,

akjv@Job:22:2 @ Can a man be profitable to God, as he that is wise may be profitable to himself?

akjv@Job:22:3 @ Is it any pleasure to the Almighty, that you are righteous? or is it gain to him, that you make your ways perfect?

akjv@Job:22:4 @ Will he reprove you for fear of you? will he enter with you into judgment?

akjv@Job:22:5 @ Is not your wickedness great? and your iniquities infinite?

akjv@Job:22:6 @ For you have taken a pledge from your brother for nothing, and stripped the naked of their clothing.

akjv@Job:22:7 @ You have not given water to the weary to drink, and you have withheld bread from the hungry.

akjv@Job:22:8 @ But as for the mighty man, he had the earth; and the honorable man dwelled in it.

akjv@Job:22:9 @ You have sent widows away empty, and the arms of the fatherless have been broken.

akjv@Job:22:10 @ Therefore snares are round about you, and sudden fear troubles you;

akjv@Job:22:11 @ Or darkness, that you can not see; and abundance of waters cover you.

akjv@Job:22:12 @ Is not God in the height of heaven? and behold the height of the stars, how high they are!

akjv@Job:22:13 @ And you say, How does God know? can he judge through the dark cloud?

akjv@Job:22:14 @ Thick clouds are a covering to him, that he sees not; and he walks in the circuit of heaven.

akjv@Job:22:15 @ Have you marked the old way which wicked men have trodden?

akjv@Job:22:16 @ Which were cut down out of time, whose foundation was overflowed with a flood:

akjv@Job:22:17 @ Which said to God, Depart from us: and what can the Almighty do for them?

akjv@Job:22:18 @ Yet he filled their houses with good things: but the counsel of the wicked is far from me.

akjv@Job:22:19 @ The righteous see it, and are glad: and the innocent laugh them to scorn.

akjv@Job:22:20 @ Whereas our substance is not cut down, but the remnant of them the fire consumes.

akjv@Job:22:21 @ Acquaint now yourself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come to you.

akjv@Job:22:22 @ Receive, I pray you, the law from his mouth, and lay up his words in your heart.

akjv@Job:22:23 @ If you return to the Almighty, you shall be built up, you shall put away iniquity far from your tabernacles.

akjv@Job:22:24 @ Then shall you lay up gold as dust, and the gold of Ophir as the stones of the brooks.

akjv@Job:22:25 @ Yes, the Almighty shall be your defense, and you shall have plenty of silver.

akjv@Job:22:26 @ For then shall you have your delight in the Almighty, and shall lift up your face to God.

akjv@Job:22:27 @ You shall make your prayer to him, and he shall hear you, and you shall pay your vows.

akjv@Job:22:28 @ You shall also decree a thing, and it shall be established to you: and the light shall shine on your ways.

akjv@Job:22:29 @ When men are cast down, then you shall say, There is lifting up; and he shall save the humble person.

akjv@Job:22:30 @ He shall deliver the island of the innocent: and it is delivered by the pureness of your hands.
