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

mkjv@Job:22:2 @ Can a man be useful to God, as he who is wise may be useful to himself?

mkjv@Job:22:3 @ [Is it] any pleasure to the Almighty that you are righteous, or gain [to Him] that you make your ways perfect?

mkjv@Job:22:4 @ Will He reprove you because of your reverence, or enter into judgment with you?

mkjv@Job:22:5 @ [Is] not your wickedness great, and your iniquity without measure?

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

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

mkjv@Job:22:8 @ But [as for] the mighty man, he had the earth, and the honored man lived in it.

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

mkjv@Job:22:10 @ Therefore snares [are] all around you, and sudden fear troubles you;

mkjv@Job:22:11 @ or darkness, [so that] you cannot see; and a flood of waters covers you.

mkjv@Job:22:12 @ [Is] not God high in Heaven? And behold the leading stars, for [they] are high.

mkjv@Job:22:13 @ And you say, What does God know? Can He judge through the dark cloud?

mkjv@Job:22:14 @ Clouds [are] a covering to Him, so that He does not see; and He walks in the circuit of Heaven.

mkjv@Job:22:15 @ Do you keep to the old way which wicked men have walked?

mkjv@Job:22:16 @ [They] were seized, but [there was] not time; their foundation was poured out [by] a flood;

mkjv@Job:22:17 @ who said to God, Depart from us; and, What can the Almighty do to them?

mkjv@Job:22:18 @ Yet He filled their houses with substance; and the wisdom of the wicked is far from me.

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

mkjv@Job:22:20 @ Truly our foe is not cut down, and fire has eaten their wealth.

mkjv@Job:22:21 @ Now be of service with Him, and be at peace. Good shall come to you by them.

mkjv@Job:22:22 @ Please receive the law from His mouth and lay up His words in your heart.

mkjv@Job:22:23 @ If you return to the Almighty, you shall be built up; you shall put away injustice far from your tents.

mkjv@Job:22:24 @ Then you shall lay up gold like dust, and among the rock of the torrents of Ophir.

mkjv@Job:22:25 @ Yea, the Almighty shall be your gold and silver, [and] strength to you.

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

mkjv@Job:22:27 @ You shall make your prayer to Him, and He shall hear you, and you shall pay your vows.

mkjv@Job:22:28 @ You shall also order a thing, and it shall be fulfilled to you; and the light shall shine on your ways.

mkjv@Job:22:29 @ For they have humiliated [you], and you shall say, Pride! And He shall save the lowly of eyes.

mkjv@Job:22:30 @ He shall deliver [one] not innocent, and will deliver by the pureness of your hands.
