< Job 22 >

1 Then Eliphaz the Temanite made answer and said,
And he answered Eliphaz the Temanite and he said.
2 Is it possible for a man to be of profit to God? No, for a man's wisdom is only of profit to himself.
¿ To God will he be of use a man for will he be of use? on him a wise [person].
3 Is it of any interest to the Ruler of all that you are upright? or is it of use to him that your ways are without sin?
¿ [does] pleasure [belong] to [the] Almighty That you are righteous and or? profit that you make blameless ways your.
4 Is it because you give him honour that he is sending punishment on you and is judging you?
¿ From fear your does he reprove you does he go? with you in judgment.
5 Is not your evil-doing great? and there is no end to your sins.
¿ Not [is] evil your great and not? an end [belongs] to iniquities your.
6 For you have taken your brother's goods when he was not in your debt, and have taken away the clothing of those who have need of it.
For you have held in pledge brothers your without cause and [the] garments of naked [people] you have stripped off.
7 You do not give water to the tired traveller, and from him who has no food you keep back bread.
Not water [the] weary you have given to drink and from [the] hungry you have withheld bread.
8 For it was the man with power who had the land, and the man with an honoured name who was living in it.
And a person of arm [belongs] to him the land and [one] uplifted of face he dwells in it.
9 You have sent widows away without hearing their cause, and you have taken away the support of the child who has no father.
Widows you have sent away with empty hands and [the] arms of fatherless ones it has been crushed.
10 For this cause nets are round your feet, and you are overcome with sudden fear.
There-fore [are] around you snares and it terrifies you dread suddenly.
11 Your light is made dark so that you are unable to see, and you are covered by a mass of waters.
Or darkness not you will see and abundance of water it covers you.
12 Is not God as high as heaven? and see the stars, how high they are!
¿ Not [is] God [the] height of heaven and look at [the] top of [the] stars that they are high.
13 And you say, What knowledge has God? is he able to give decisions through the deep dark?
And you say what? does he know God ¿ through thick darkness will he judge.
14 Thick clouds are covering him, so that he is unable to see; and he is walking on the arch of heaven.
Clouds [are] a hiding place of him and not he will see and [the] circle of heaven he walks about.
15 Will you keep the old way by which evil men went?
¿ A path of antiquity will you keep which they have trodden men of wickedness.
16 Who were violently taken away before their time, who were overcome by the rush of waters:
Who they were snatched away and not an appropriate time a river it was poured out foundation their.
17 Who said to God, Go away from us; and, What is the Ruler of all able to do to us?
Who were saying to God depart from us and what? will he do [the] Almighty to them.
18 Though he made their houses full of good things: but the purpose of the evil-doers is far from me!
And he he filled houses their good thing[s] and [the] counsel of wicked [people] it is far from me.
19 The upright saw it and were glad: and those who had done no wrong made sport of them,
They see [it] righteous [people] so they may rejoice and [the] innocent he mocks them.
20 Saying, Truly, their substance is cut off, and their wealth is food for the fire.
If not he has been destroyed adversary our and abundance their it has consumed fire.
21 Put yourself now in a right relation with him and be at peace: so will you do well in your undertakings.
Be reconciled please with him and be at peace by them it will come to you good.
22 Be pleased to take teaching from his mouth, and let his words be stored up in your heart.
Accept please from mouth his instruction and put words his in heart your.
23 If you come back to the Ruler of all, making yourself low before him; if you put evil far away from your tents;
If you will return to [the] Almighty you will be built up you will remove injustice from tent your.
24 And put your gold in the dust, even your gold of Ophir among the rocks of the valleys;
And put on [the] dust gold and among [the] rock[s] of wadis gold of Ophir.
25 Then the Ruler of all will be your gold, and his teaching will be your silver;
And he will be [the] Almighty gold your and silver of heaps for you.
26 For then you will have delight in the Ruler of all, and your face will be lifted up to God.
For then on [the] Almighty you will take delight and you may lift up to God face your.
27 You will make your prayer to him, and be answered; and you will give effect to your oaths.
You will pray to him and he will hear you and vows your you will pay.
28 Your purposes will come about, and light will be shining on your ways.
And you may decide a matter and it may be fulfilled for you and on ways your it will shine light.
29 For God makes low those whose hearts are lifted up, but he is a saviour to the poor in spirit.
If people brought low and you said up! and [the] lowly of eyes he will save.
30 He makes safe the man who is free from sin, and if your hands are clean, salvation will be yours.
He will deliver not an innocent [person] and he will be delivered by [the] cleanness of hands your.
