Job 22
1 And he answered Eliphaz the Temanite and he said.
Then Eliphaz the Thaemanite answered and said,
2 ¿ To God will he be of use a man for will he be of use? on him a wise [person].
Is it not the Lord that teaches understanding and knowledge?
3 ¿ [does] pleasure [belong] to [the] Almighty That you are righteous and or? profit that you make blameless ways your.
For what matters it to the Lord, if you were blameless in [your] works? or is it profitable that you should perfect your way?
4 ¿ From fear your does he reprove you does he go? with you in judgment.
Will you maintain and plead your own cause? and will he enter into judgement with you?
5 ¿ Not [is] evil your great and not? an end [belongs] to iniquities your.
Is not your wickedness abundant, and your sins innumerable?
6 For you have held in pledge brothers your without cause and [the] garments of naked [people] you have stripped off.
And you have taken security of your brethren for nothing, and have taken away the clothing of the naked.
7 Not water [the] weary you have given to drink and from [the] hungry you have withheld bread.
Neither have you given water to the thirsty to drink, but have taken away the morsel of the hungry.
8 And a person of arm [belongs] to him the land and [one] uplifted of face he dwells in it.
And you have accepted the persons of some; and you have established those [that were already settled] on the earth.
9 Widows you have sent away with empty hands and [the] arms of fatherless ones it has been crushed.
But you have sent widows away empty, and has afflicted orphans.
10 There-fore [are] around you snares and it terrifies you dread suddenly.
Therefore snares have compassed you, and disastrous war has troubled you.
11 Or darkness not you will see and abundance of water it covers you.
The light has proved darkness to you, and water has covered you on your lying down.
12 ¿ Not [is] God [the] height of heaven and look at [the] top of [the] stars that they are high.
Does not he that dwells in the high places observe? and has he not brought down the proud?
13 And you say what? does he know God ¿ through thick darkness will he judge.
And you has said, What does the Mighty One know? does he judge in the dark?
14 Clouds [are] a hiding place of him and not he will see and [the] circle of heaven he walks about.
A cloud is his hiding-place, and he shall not be seen; and he passes through the circle of heaven.
15 ¿ A path of antiquity will you keep which they have trodden men of wickedness.
Will you [not] mark the old way, which righteous men have trodden?
16 Who they were snatched away and not an appropriate time a river it was poured out foundation their.
who were seized before their time: their foundations [are as] an overflowing stream.
17 Who were saying to God depart from us and what? will he do [the] Almighty to them.
Who say, What will the Lord do to us? or what will the Almighty bring upon 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 for the wicked is far from him.
19 They see [it] righteous [people] so they may rejoice and [the] innocent he mocks them.
The righteous have seen [it], and laughed, and the blameless one has derided [them].
20 If not he has been destroyed adversary our and abundance their it has consumed fire.
Verily their substance has been utterly destroyed, and the fire shall devour what is left of their [property].
21 Be reconciled please with him and be at peace by them it will come to you good.
Be firm, I pray you, if you can endure; then your fruit shall prosper.
22 Accept please from mouth his instruction and put words his in heart your.
And receive a declaration from his mouth, and lay up his words in your heart.
23 If you will return to [the] Almighty you will be built up you will remove injustice from tent your.
And if you shall turn and humble yourself before the Lord, you have [thus] removed unrighteousness far from your habitation.
24 And put on [the] dust gold and among [the] rock[s] of wadis gold of Ophir.
You shall lay up for yourself [treasure] in a heap on the rock; and Sophir [shall be] as the rock of the torrent.
25 And he will be [the] Almighty gold your and silver of heaps for you.
So the Almighty shall be your helper from enemies, and he shall bring you forth pure as silver that has been tried by fire.
26 For then on [the] Almighty you will take delight and you may lift up to God face your.
Then shall you have boldness before the Lord, looking up cheerfully to heaven.
27 You will pray to him and he will hear you and vows your you will pay.
And he shall hear you when you pray to him, and he shall grant you [power] to pay your vows.
28 And you may decide a matter and it may be fulfilled for you and on ways your it will shine light.
And he shall establish to you again a habitation of righteousness and there shall be light upon your paths.
29 If people brought low and you said up! and [the] lowly of eyes he will save.
Because you have humbled yourself; and you shall say, [Man] has behaved proudly, but he shall save him that is of lowly eyes.
30 He will deliver not an innocent [person] and he will be delivered by [the] cleanness of hands your.
He shall deliver the innocent, and do you save yourself by your pure hands.
