Job 22

1 And he answered Eliphaz the Temanite and he said.

And 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 it is unto himself that the wise man is profitable.

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 if thou art righteous? And is it gain [to him] that thou makest thy ways perfect?

4 ¿ From fear your does he reprove you does he go? with you in judgment.

Will he reason with thee for fear of thee? Will he enter with thee into judgment?

5 ¿ Not [is] evil your great and not? an end [belongs] to iniquities your.

Is not thy wickedness great? and thine iniquities without end?

6 For you have held in pledge brothers your without cause and [the] garments of naked [people] you have stripped off.

For thou hast taken a pledge of thy brother for nought, and stripped off the clothing of the naked.

7 Not water [the] weary you have given to drink and from [the] hungry you have withheld bread.

Thou hast not given water to the fainting to drink, and thou hast withholden 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 the powerful man, he had the land; and the man of high rank dwelt in it.

9 Widows you have sent away with empty hands and [the] arms of fatherless ones it has been crushed.

Widows hast thou sent empty away, 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 troubleth thee;

11 Or darkness not you will see and abundance of water it covers you.

Or darkness, that thou canst not see, and floods 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 the heavens? And behold the summit of the stars: how exalted are they!

13 And you say what? does he know God ¿ through thick darkness will he judge.

And thou sayest, What doth God know? will he judge through the dark cloud?

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, that he seeth not; and he walketh on the vault of the heavens.

15 ¿ A path of antiquity will you keep which they have trodden men of wickedness.

Dost thou mark the ancient path 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 carried off before the time, whose foundation was overflowed with a flood;

17 Who were saying to God depart from us and what? will he do [the] Almighty to them.

Who said unto God, Depart from us! and what could the Almighty do to them?

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. 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.

Is not he who rose against us destroyed, and doth not the fire consume his residue?

21 Be reconciled please with him and be at peace by them it will come to you good.

Reconcile thyself now with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee.

22 Accept please from mouth his instruction and put words his in heart your.

Receive, I pray thee, instruction 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 shalt be built up. If thou remove unrighteousness far from thy tents,

24 And put on [the] dust gold and among [the] rock[s] of wadis gold of Ophir.

And put the precious ore with the dust, and [the gold of] Ophir among the stones of the torrents,

25 And he will be [the] Almighty gold your and silver of heaps for you.

Then the Almighty will be thy precious ore, and silver heaped up unto thee;

26 For then on [the] Almighty you will take delight and you may lift up to God face your.

Yea, then shalt thou delight thyself in the Almighty, and shalt lift up thy face unto God:

27 You will pray to him and he will hear you and vows your you will pay.

Thou shalt make thy prayer unto him, and he will hear thee, and thou shalt 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.

And thou shalt decree a thing, and it shall be established unto 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 are made low, then thou shalt say, Rise up! and he shall save him that is of downcast eyes.

30 He will deliver not an innocent [person] and he will be delivered by [the] cleanness of hands your.

[Even] him that is not innocent shall he deliver; yea, he shall be delivered by the pureness of thy hands.
