Job 22




rotherham@Job:22:1 @ Then responded Eliphaz the Temanite, and said:

rotherham@Job:22:2 @ Unto GOD, can a man act as friend? Surely a discreet man befriendeth himself!

rotherham@Job:22:3 @ Is it a pleasure to the Almighty, that thou shouldst be righteous? or any profit, that thou shouldst be blameless in thy ways?

rotherham@Job:22:4 @ Is it, for thy reverence, that he will accuse thee? will enter with thee into judgment?

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

rotherham@Job:22:6 @ Surely then hast been wont to put thy brother in pledge, for nothing, and, the garments of the ill-clad, hast thou stripped off:

rotherham@Job:22:7 @ No waterto the weary, hast thou given to drink, and, from the hungry, thou hast withheld broad:

rotherham@Job:22:8 @ A man of might, to him, pertaineth the land, and, the favorite, dwelleth therein:

rotherham@Job:22:9 @ Widows, thou hast sent away empty, and, the arms of the fatherless, thou dost crush.

rotherham@Job:22:10 @ For this cause, round about thee, are snares, and a dread startleth thee suddenly;

rotherham@Job:22:11 @ Or darknessthou canst not see, and, a flood of waters, covereth thee.

rotherham@Job:22:12 @ Is not, GOD, the height of the heavens? Behold, then, the head of the stars, that they are high.

rotherham@Job:22:13 @ Wilt thou say then, What doth GOD know? Out through a thick cloud, can he judge?

rotherham@Job:22:14 @ Dark clouds, are a veil to him, and he cannot see, or, the vault of the heavens, doth he walk?

rotherham@Job:22:15 @ The path of the ancient time, wilt thou mark, which the men of iniquity trod?

rotherham@Job:22:16 @ Who were snatched away before the time, and, a stream, washed away their foundation?

rotherham@Job:22:17 @ Who had been saying unto GOD, Depart from us! and What can the Almighty do for himself?

rotherham@Job:22:18 @ Yet, he, had filled their houses with good! The counsel of the lawless, then, is far from me:

rotherham@Job:22:19 @ The righteous shall see and rejoice, and, the innocent, shall laugh them to scorn:

rotherham@Job:22:20 @ If our assailants do not vanish, then, their abundance, a fire consumeth!

rotherham@Job:22:21 @ Shew thyself to be one with him I pray theeand prosper, thereby, shall there come on thee blessing.

rotherham@Job:22:22 @ Accept, I beseech thee, from his mouthinstruction, and lay up his sayings in thy heart.

rotherham@Job:22:23 @ If thou return unto the Almighty and submit thyself, if thou far remove perversity from thy tent,

rotherham@Job:22:24 @ Then lay up, in the dust, precious ore, and, among the stones of the torrent-beds, fine gold:

rotherham@Job:22:25 @ So shall, the Almighty, become, thy precious ores, yea glittering silver unto thee!

rotherham@Job:22:26 @ For, then, in the Almighty, shalt thou take exquisite delight, and shalt lift upunto GODthy face;

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

rotherham@Job:22:28 @ And thou shalt decree a purpose, and it shall be fulfilled unto thee, and, upon thy ways, shall have shone a light;

rotherham@Job:22:29 @ When men cast themselves down, then thou shalt say: Up! And, him that is of downcast eyes, shall he save;

rotherham@Job:22:30 @ He shall deliver the innocent, and thou shalt escape by the pureness of thy hands.
