jub - Job:22

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

jub@Job:22:2 @ Can a man be profitable unto God? For he that is wise is profitable unto himself.

jub@Job:22:3 @ [Is it] any pleasure to the Almighty that thou art justified? Or [is it] gain [to him] that thou makest thy ways perfect?

jub@Job:22:4 @ Will he reprove thee or will he enter with thee into judgment because he fears thee?

jub@Job:22:5 @ Certainly thy wickedness is great and thine iniquities have no end.

jub@Job:22:6 @ For thou didst take a pledge from thy brother without cause and stripped the naked of their clothing.

jub@Job:22:7 @ Thou didst not give water to drink to the weary, and thou hast withheld bread from the hungry.

jub@Job:22:8 @ But the man of means had the earth; and the honourable man dwelt in it.

jub@Job:22:9 @ Thou hast sent the widows away empty, and the arms of the fatherless have been broken.

jub@Job:22:10 @ Therefore, snares [are] round about thee, and sudden fear troubles thee

jub@Job:22:11 @ or darkness, [that] thou canst not see, and abundance of waters cover thee.

jub@Job:22:12 @ [Is] not God in the height of the heavens? Behold the height of the stars, how high they are!

jub@Job:22:13 @ And thou shalt say, What does God know? How can he judge through the darkness?

jub@Job:22:14 @ Thick clouds are his hiding place, and he does not see; and he walks in the circuit of heaven.

jub@Job:22:15 @ Dost thou desire to keep the old way which wicked men have trodden?

jub@Job:22:16 @ Who were cut down out of time, whose foundation was overflown with a flood.

jub@Job:22:17 @ Who said unto God, Depart from us; and what can the Almighty do unto us?

jub@Job:22:18 @ He had filled their houses with good [things]. Therefore, the counsel of the wicked is far from me.

jub@Job:22:19 @ The righteous shall see [it] and be glad; and the innocent laughs them to scorn.

jub@Job:22:20 @ Whereas our substance was not cut down, when the fire had consumed the rest of them.

jub@Job:22:21 @ Make up thy friendship now with him, and thou shalt have peace; thereby good shall come unto thee.

jub@Job:22:22 @ Receive, I pray thee, the law from his mouth, and lay up his words in thine heart.

jub@Job:22:23 @ If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up, thou shalt put away iniquity far from thy tent;

jub@Job:22:24 @ then thou shalt lay up gold as dust and the [gold] of Ophir as the stones of the brooks.

jub@Job:22:25 @ And the Almighty shall be thy defence, and thou shalt have plenty of silver.

jub@Job:22:26 @ For then shalt thou have thy delight in the Almighty and shalt lift up thy face unto God.

jub@Job:22:27 @ Thou shalt make thy prayer unto him, and he shall hear thee, and thou shalt pay thy vows.

jub@Job:22:28 @ Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee; and the light shall shine upon thy ways.

jub@Job:22:29 @ When [others] are cast down, then thou shalt say, [There is] lifting up; and he shall save the humble person.

jub@Job:22:30 @ He shall deliver the island of the innocent; and in the pureness of thine hands thou shalt be kept.:
