dby@Job:22:1 @ And Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,

dby@Job:22:2 @ Can a man be profitable to �God? surely it is unto himself that the wise man is profitable.

dby@Job:22:3 @ Is it any pleasure to the Almighty if thou art righteous? And is it gain [to him] that thou makest thy ways perfect?

dby@Job:22:4 @ Will he reason with thee for fear of thee? Will he enter with thee into judgment?

dby@Job:22:5 @ Is not thy wickedness great? and thine iniquities without end?

dby@Job:22:6 @ For thou hast taken a pledge of thy brother for nought, and stripped off the clothing of the naked.

dby@Job:22:7 @ Thou hast not given water to the fainting to drink, and thou hast withholden bread from the hungry.

dby@Job:22:8 @ But the powerful man, he had the land; and the man of high rank dwelt in it.

dby@Job:22:9 @ Widows hast thou sent empty away, and the arms of the fatherless have been broken.

dby@Job:22:10 @ Therefore snares are round about thee, and sudden fear troubleth thee;

dby@Job:22:11 @ Or darkness, that thou canst not see, and floods of waters cover thee.

dby@Job:22:12 @ Is not +God in the height of the heavens? And behold the summit of the stars: how exalted are they!

dby@Job:22:13 @ And thou sayest, What doth �God know? will he judge through the dark cloud?

dby@Job:22:14 @ Thick clouds are a covering to him, that he seeth not; and he walketh on the vault of the heavens.

dby@Job:22:15 @ Dost thou mark the ancient path which wicked men have trodden?

dby@Job:22:16 @ Who were carried off before the time, whose foundation was overflowed with a flood;

dby@Job:22:17 @ Who said unto �God, Depart from us! and what could the Almighty do to them?

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

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

dby@Job:22:20 @ Is not he who rose against us destroyed, and doth not the fire consume his residue?

dby@Job:22:21 @ Reconcile thyself now with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee.

dby@Job:22:22 @ Receive, I pray thee, instruction from his mouth, and lay up his words in thy heart.

dby@Job:22:23 @ If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up. If thou remove unrighteousness far from thy tents,

dby@Job:22:24 @ And put the precious ore with the dust, and [the gold of] Ophir among the stones of the torrents,

dby@Job:22:25 @ Then the Almighty will be thy precious ore, and silver heaped up unto thee;

dby@Job:22:26 @ Yea, then shalt thou delight thyself in the Almighty, and shalt lift up thy face unto +God:

dby@Job:22:27 @ Thou shalt make thy prayer unto him, and he will hear thee, and thou shalt pay thy vows;

dby@Job:22:28 @ And thou shalt decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee; and light shall shine upon thy ways.

dby@Job:22:29 @ When they are made low, then thou shalt say, Rise up! and he shall save him that is of downcast eyes.

dby@Job:22:30 @ [Even] him that is not innocent shall he deliver; yea, he shall be delivered by the pureness of thy hands.
