< Job 22 >

1 Then responded Eliphaz the Temanite, and said: —
And he answered Eliphaz the Temanite and he said.
2 Unto GOD, can a man act as friend? Surely a discreet man befriendeth 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 pleasure to the Almighty, that thou shouldst be righteous? or any profit, that thou shouldst be blameless in thy ways?
¿ [does] pleasure [belong] to [the] Almighty That you are righteous and or? profit that you make blameless ways your.
4 Is it, for thy reverence, that he will accuse thee? will enter with thee into judgment?
¿ From fear your does he reprove you does he go? with you in judgment.
5 Is not, thy wickedness, great? and, without end, [are not] thine iniquities?
¿ Not [is] evil your great and not? an end [belongs] to iniquities your.
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:
For you have held in pledge brothers your without cause and [the] garments of naked [people] you have stripped off.
7 No water—to the weary, hast thou given to drink, and, from the hungry, thou hast withheld bread:
Not water [the] weary you have given to drink and from [the] hungry you have withheld bread.
8 A man of might, to him, pertaineth the land, and, the favorite, dwelleth therein:
And a person of arm [belongs] to him the land and [one] uplifted of face he dwells in it.
9 Widows, thou hast sent away empty, and, the arms of the fatherless, thou dost crush.
Widows you have sent away with empty hands and [the] arms of fatherless ones it has been crushed.

Or darkness not you will see and abundance of water it covers you.
12 Is not, GOD, [in] the height of the heavens? Behold, then, the head 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 Wilt thou say then, What doth GOD know? Out through a thick cloud, can he judge?
And you say what? does he know God ¿ through thick darkness will he judge.
14 Dark clouds, are a veil to him, and he cannot see, or, the vault of the heavens, doth he walk?
Clouds [are] a hiding place of him and not he will see and [the] circle of heaven he walks about.
15 The path of the ancient time, wilt thou mark, which the men of iniquity trod?
¿ A path of antiquity will you keep which they have trodden men of wickedness.
16 Who were snatched away before the time, and, a stream, washed away their foundation?
Who they were snatched away and not an appropriate time a river it was poured out foundation their.
17 Who had been saying unto GOD, Depart from us! and—What can the Almighty do for himself?

18 Yet, he, had filled their houses with good! The counsel of the lawless, then, 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 righteous shall see and rejoice, and, the innocent, shall laugh them to scorn:
They see [it] righteous [people] so they may rejoice and [the] innocent he mocks them.
20 If our assailants do not vanish, then, their abundance, a fire consumeth!
If not he has been destroyed adversary our and abundance their it has consumed fire.
21 Shew thyself to be one with him—I pray thee—and prosper, thereby, shall there come on thee blessing.
Be reconciled please with him and be at peace by them it will come to you good.
22 Accept, I beseech thee, from his mouth—instruction, —and lay up his sayings in thy heart.
Accept please from mouth his instruction and put words his in heart your.
23 If thou return unto the Almighty and submit thyself, if thou far remove perversity from thy tent,
If you will return to [the] Almighty you will be built up you will remove injustice from tent your.
24 Then lay up, in the dust, precious ore, and, among the stones of the torrent-beds, fine gold:
And put on [the] dust gold and among [the] rock[s] of wadis gold of Ophir.
25 So shall, the Almighty, become, thy precious ores, yea glittering silver unto thee!
And he will be [the] Almighty gold your and silver of heaps for you.
26 For, then, in the Almighty, shalt thou take exquisite delight, and shalt lift up—unto GOD—thy face;
For then on [the] Almighty you will take delight and you may lift up to God face your.
27 Thou shalt make entreaty unto him, and he will hear thee, and, thy vows, shalt thou pay;
You will pray to him and he will hear you and vows your you will pay.
28 And thou shalt decree a purpose, and it shall be fulfilled unto thee, and, upon thy ways, shall have shone a light;
And you may decide a matter and it may be fulfilled for you and on ways your it will shine light.
29 When men cast themselves down, then thou shalt say: Up! And, him that is of downcast eyes, shall he save;
If people brought low and you said up! and [the] lowly of eyes he will save.
30 He shall deliver the innocent, and thou shalt escape by the pureness of thy hands.
He will deliver not an innocent [person] and he will be delivered by [the] cleanness of hands your.
