Job 22
1 And he answered Eliphaz the Temanite and he said.
Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered, and sayde,
2 ¿ To God will he be of use a man for will he be of use? on him a wise [person].
May a man be profitable vnto God, as he that is wise, may be profitable to himselfe?
3 ¿ [does] pleasure [belong] to [the] Almighty That you are righteous and or? profit that you make blameless ways your.
Is it any thing vnto the Almightie, that thou art righteous? or is it profitable to him, that thou makest thy wayes vpright?
4 ¿ From fear your does he reprove you does he go? with you in judgment.
Is it for feare of thee that he will accuse thee? or go with thee into iudgement?
5 ¿ Not [is] evil your great and not? an end [belongs] to iniquities your.
Is not thy wickednes great, and thine iniquities innumerable?
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 the pledge from thy brother for nought, and spoyled the clothes of the naked.
7 Not water [the] weary you have given to drink and from [the] hungry you have withheld bread.
To such as were wearie, thou hast not giuen water to drinke, and hast withdrawen bread from the hungrie.
8 And a person of arm [belongs] to him the land and [one] uplifted of face he dwells in it.
But the mightie man had the earth, and he that was in autoritie, dwelt in it.
9 Widows you have sent away with empty hands and [the] arms of fatherless ones it has been crushed.
Thou hast cast out widowes emptie, and the armes of the fatherles were broken.
10 There-fore [are] around you snares and it terrifies you dread suddenly.
Therefore snares are round about thee, and feare shall suddenly trouble thee:
11 Or darkness not you will see and abundance of water it covers you.
Or darkenes that thou shouldest not see, and abundance of waters shall couer thee.
12 ¿ Not [is] God [the] height of heaven and look at [the] top of [the] stars that they are high.
Is not God on hie in the heauen? and behold the height of the starres how hie they are.
13 And you say what? does he know God ¿ through thick darkness will he judge.
But thou sayest, How should God know? can he iudge through the darke cloude?
14 Clouds [are] a hiding place of him and not he will see and [the] circle of heaven he walks about.
The cloudes hide him that he can not see, and he walketh in the circle of heauen.
15 ¿ A path of antiquity will you keep which they have trodden men of wickedness.
Hast thou marked the way of the worlde, wherein wicked men haue walked?
16 Who they were snatched away and not an appropriate time a river it was poured out foundation their.
Which were cut downe before the time, whose foundation was as a riuer that ouerflowed:
17 Who were saying to God depart from us and what? will he do [the] Almighty to them.
Which sayd vnto God, Depart from vs, and asked what the Almightie could do for them.
18 And he he filled houses their good thing[s] and [the] counsel of wicked [people] it is far from me.
Yet hee filled their houses with good things: but let the counsell of the wicked be farre from me.
19 They see [it] righteous [people] so they may rejoice and [the] innocent he mocks them.
The righteous shall see them, and shall reioyce, and the innocent shall laugh them to scorne.
20 If not he has been destroyed adversary our and abundance their it has consumed fire.
Surely our substance is hid: but the fire hath deuoured the remnant of them.
21 Be reconciled please with him and be at peace by them it will come to you good.
Therefore acquaint thy selfe, I pray thee, with him, and make peace: thereby thou shalt haue prosperitie.
22 Accept please from mouth his instruction and put words his in heart your.
Receiue, I pray thee, the law of his mouth, and lay vp his words in thine heart.
23 If you will return to [the] Almighty you will be built up you will remove injustice from tent your.
If thou returne to the Almightie, thou shalt be buylt vp, and thou shalt put iniquitie farre from thy tabernacle.
24 And put on [the] dust gold and among [the] rock[s] of wadis gold of Ophir.
Thou shalt lay vp golde for dust, and the gold of Ophir, as the flintes of the riuers.
25 And he will be [the] Almighty gold your and silver of heaps for you.
Yea, the Almightie shalbe thy defence, and thou shalt haue plentie of siluer.
26 For then on [the] Almighty you will take delight and you may lift up to God face your.
And thou shalt then delite in the Almightie, and lift vp thy face vnto God.
27 You will pray to him and he will hear you and vows your you will pay.
Thou shalt make thy praier vnto him, and he shall heare thee, and thou shalt render thy vowes.
28 And you may decide a matter and it may be fulfilled for you and on ways your it will shine light.
Thou shalt also decree a thing, and he shall establish it vnto thee, and the light shall shine vpon thy wayes.
29 If people brought low and you said up! and [the] lowly of eyes he will save.
When others are cast downe, then shalt thou say, I am lifted vp: and God shall saue the humble person.
30 He will deliver not an innocent [person] and he will be delivered by [the] cleanness of hands your.
The innocent shall deliuer the yland, and it shalbe preserued by the purenes of thine hands.
