< Job 22 >
1 And Eliphaz the Temanite answers and says:
And he answered Eliphaz the Temanite and he said.
2 “Is a man profitable to God, Because a wise man is profitable 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 a delight to the Mighty One That you are righteous? Is it gain, That you make your ways perfect?
¿ [does] pleasure [belong] to [the] Almighty That you are righteous and or? profit that you make blameless ways your.
4 Because of your reverence Does He reason [with] you? He enters with you into judgment:
¿ From fear your does he reprove you does he go? with you in judgment.
5 Is your wickedness not abundant? And there is no end to your iniquities.
¿ Not [is] evil your great and not? an end [belongs] to iniquities your.
6 For you take a pledge of your brother for nothing, And you strip off the garments of the naked.
For you have held in pledge brothers your without cause and [the] garments of naked [people] you have stripped off.
7 You do not cause the weary to drink water, And you withhold bread from the hungry.
Not water [the] weary you have given to drink and from [the] hungry you have withheld bread.
8 As for the man of arm—he has the earth, And the accepted of face—he dwells 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 empty, And the arms of the fatherless are bruised.
Widows you have sent away with empty hands and [the] arms of fatherless ones it has been crushed.
10 Therefore snares [are] all around you, And sudden fear troubles you.
There-fore [are] around you snares and it terrifies you dread suddenly.
11 Or darkness—you do not see, And abundance of waters covers you.
Or darkness not you will see and abundance of water it covers you.
12 Is God not high [in] the heavens? And see the summit of the stars, That they are high.
¿ Not [is] God [the] height of heaven and look at [the] top of [the] stars that they are high.
13 And you have said, How has God known? Does He judge through thickness?
And you say what? does he know God ¿ through thick darkness will he judge.
14 Thick clouds [are] a secret place to Him, And He does not see, And He habitually walks [above] the circle of the heavens.
Clouds [are] a hiding place of him and not he will see and [the] circle of heaven he walks about.
15 Do you observe the path of the age, That men of iniquity have trodden,
¿ A path of antiquity will you keep which they have trodden men of wickedness.
16 Who have been cut down unexpectedly? A flood is poured out on their foundation.
Who they were snatched away and not an appropriate time a river it was poured out foundation their.
17 Those saying to God, Turn aside from us, And what does the Mighty One do to them?
Who were saying to God depart from us and what? will he do [the] Almighty to them.
18 And He has filled their houses [with] good (And the counsel of the wicked Has been 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 righteous see and they rejoice, And the innocent mocks at them:
They see [it] righteous [people] so they may rejoice and [the] innocent he mocks them.
20 Surely our substance has not been cut off, And fire has consumed their excellence.
If not he has been destroyed adversary our and abundance their it has consumed fire.
21 Now acquaint yourself with Him, and be at peace, Thereby your increase [is] good.
Be reconciled please with him and be at peace by them it will come to you good.
22 Please receive a law from His mouth, And set His sayings in your heart.
Accept please from mouth his instruction and put words his in heart your.
23 If you return to the Mighty you are built up, You put iniquity far from your tents.
If you will return to [the] Almighty you will be built up you will remove injustice from tent your.
24 So as to set a defense on the dust, And a covering on a rock of the valleys.
And put on [the] dust gold and among [the] rock[s] of wadis gold of Ophir.
25 And the Mighty has been your defense, And silver [is] strength to you.
And he will be [the] Almighty gold your and silver of heaps for you.
26 For then you delight yourself on the Mighty, And lift up your face to God,
For then on [the] Almighty you will take delight and you may lift up to God face your.
27 You make supplication to Him, And He hears you, And you complete your vows.
You will pray to him and he will hear you and vows your you will pay.
28 And you decree a saying, And it is established to you, And light has shone 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 they have made low, And you say, Lift up. And He saves the bowed down of eyes.
If people brought low and you said up! and [the] lowly of eyes he will save.
30 He delivers the one [who is] not innocent, Indeed, he has been delivered By the cleanness of your hands.”
He will deliver not an innocent [person] and he will be delivered by [the] cleanness of hands your.
