Job 22
1 And he answered Eliphaz the Temanite and he said.
Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered, and said,
2 ¿ To God will he be of use a man for will he be of use? on him a wise [person].
Can a man be profitable to God? Surely he who is wise is profitable to himself.
3 ¿ [does] pleasure [belong] to [the] Almighty That you are righteous and or? profit that you make blameless ways your.
Is it any pleasure to the Almighty that thou are righteous? Or is it gain to him that thou make thy ways perfect?
4 ¿ From fear your does he reprove you does he go? with you in judgment.
Is it for thy fear of him that he reproves thee, that he enters with thee into judgment?
5 ¿ Not [is] evil your great and not? an end [belongs] to iniquities your.
Is not thy wickedness great? Neither is there any end to thine iniquities.
6 For you have held in pledge brothers your without cause and [the] garments of naked [people] you have stripped off.
For thou have taken pledges from thy brother for nothing, and stripped the naked of their clothing.
7 Not water [the] weary you have given to drink and from [the] hungry you have withheld bread.
Thou have not given water to the weary to drink, and thou have withheld bread from the hungry.
8 And a person of arm [belongs] to him the land and [one] uplifted of face he dwells in it.
But as for the mighty man, he had the land. And the honorable man, he dwelt in it.
9 Widows you have sent away with empty hands and [the] arms of fatherless ones it has been crushed.
Thou have sent widows away empty, and the arms of the fatherless have been broken.
10 There-fore [are] around you snares and it terrifies you dread suddenly.
Therefore snares are round about thee, and sudden fear troubles thee,
11 Or darkness not you will see and abundance of water it covers you.
or darkness, so that thou cannot see, and abundance of waters cover thee.
12 ¿ Not [is] God [the] height of heaven and look at [the] top of [the] stars that they are high.
Is not God in the height of heaven? And behold the height of the stars, how high they are!
13 And you say what? does he know God ¿ through thick darkness will he judge.
And thou say, What does God know? Can he judge through the thick darkness?
14 Clouds [are] a hiding place of him and not he will see and [the] circle of heaven he walks about.
Thick clouds are a covering to him, so that he does not see, and he walks on the vault of heaven.
15 ¿ A path of antiquity will you keep which they have trodden men of wickedness.
Will thou keep the old way which wicked men have trodden?
16 Who they were snatched away and not an appropriate time a river it was poured out foundation their.
Who were snatched away before their time, whose foundation was poured out as a stream,
17 Who were saying to God depart from us and what? will he do [the] Almighty to them.
who said to God, Depart from us, and, What can the Almighty do for us?
18 And he he filled houses their good thing[s] and [the] counsel of wicked [people] it is far from me.
Yet he filled their houses with good things. But the counsel of the wicked is far from me.
19 They see [it] righteous [people] so they may rejoice and [the] innocent he mocks them.
The righteous see it, and are glad. And the innocent laugh them to scorn,
20 If not he has been destroyed adversary our and abundance their it has consumed fire.
Saying, Surely those who rose up against us are cut off, and the remnant of them, the fire has consumed.
21 Be reconciled please with him and be at peace by them it will come to you good.
Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace. By this good shall come to thee.
22 Accept please from mouth his instruction and put words his in heart your.
Receive, I pray thee, the law from his mouth, and lay up his words in thy heart.
23 If you will return to [the] Almighty you will be built up you will remove injustice from tent your.
If thou return to the Almighty, thou shall be built up, thou put away unrighteousness far from thy tents.
24 And put on [the] dust gold and among [the] rock[s] of wadis gold of Ophir.
Then thou shall lay up gold as dust, and the gold of Ophir as the stones of the brooks.
25 And he will be [the] Almighty gold your and silver of heaps for you.
Yea, the Almighty will be thy treasure, and precious silver to thee.
26 For then on [the] Almighty you will take delight and you may lift up to God face your.
For then shall thou delight thyself in the Almighty, and shall lift up thy face to God.
27 You will pray to him and he will hear you and vows your you will pay.
Thou shall make thy prayer to him, and he will hear thee, and thou shall pay thy vows.
28 And you may decide a matter and it may be fulfilled for you and on ways your it will shine light.
Thou shall also decree a thing, and it shall be established to thee. And light shall shine upon thy ways.
29 If people brought low and you said up! and [the] lowly of eyes he will save.
When they cast thee down, thou shall say, There is lifting up, and he will save the humble man.
30 He will deliver not an innocent [person] and he will be delivered by [the] cleanness of hands your.
He will deliver even him who is not innocent. Yea, he shall be delivered through the cleanness of thy hands.
