Job 22
1 And he answered Eliphaz the Temanite and he said.
And Eliphaz the Temanite answers and says:
2 ¿ To God will he be of use a man for will he be of use? on him a wise [person].
“Is a man profitable to God, Because a wise man 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 a delight to the Mighty One That you are righteous? Is it gain, That you make your ways perfect?
4 ¿ From fear your does he reprove you does he go? with you in judgment.
Because of your reverence Does He reason [with] you? He enters with you into judgment:
5 ¿ Not [is] evil your great and not? an end [belongs] to iniquities your.
Is your wickedness not abundant? And there is no end to your iniquities.
6 For you have held in pledge brothers your without cause and [the] garments of naked [people] you have stripped off.
For you take a pledge of your brother for nothing, And you strip off the garments of the naked.
7 Not water [the] weary you have given to drink and from [the] hungry you have withheld bread.
You do not cause the weary to drink water, And you withhold bread from the hungry.
8 And a person of arm [belongs] to him the land and [one] uplifted of face he dwells in it.
As for the man of arm—he has the earth, And the accepted of face—he dwells in it.
9 Widows you have sent away with empty hands and [the] arms of fatherless ones it has been crushed.
You have sent widows away empty, And the arms of the fatherless are bruised.
10 There-fore [are] around you snares and it terrifies you dread suddenly.
Therefore snares [are] all around you, And sudden fear troubles you.
11 Or darkness not you will see and abundance of water it covers you.
Or darkness—you do not see, And abundance of waters covers you.
12 ¿ Not [is] God [the] height of heaven and look at [the] top of [the] stars that they are high.
Is God not high [in] the heavens? And see the summit of the stars, That they are high.
13 And you say what? does he know God ¿ through thick darkness will he judge.
And you have said, How has God known? Does He judge through thickness?
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 secret place to Him, And He does not see, And He habitually walks [above] the circle of the heavens.
15 ¿ A path of antiquity will you keep which they have trodden men of wickedness.
Do you observe the path of the age, That men of iniquity have trodden,
16 Who they were snatched away and not an appropriate time a river it was poured out foundation their.
Who have been cut down unexpectedly? A flood is poured out on their foundation.
17 Who were saying to God depart from us and what? will he do [the] Almighty to them.
Those saying to God, Turn aside from us, And what does the Mighty One do to them?
18 And he he filled houses their good thing[s] and [the] counsel of wicked [people] it is far from me.
And He has filled their houses [with] good (And the counsel of the wicked Has been far from me).
19 They see [it] righteous [people] so they may rejoice and [the] innocent he mocks them.
The righteous see and they rejoice, And the innocent mocks at them:
20 If not he has been destroyed adversary our and abundance their it has consumed fire.
Surely our substance has not been cut off, And fire has consumed their excellence.
21 Be reconciled please with him and be at peace by them it will come to you good.
Now acquaint yourself with Him, and be at peace, Thereby your increase [is] good.
22 Accept please from mouth his instruction and put words his in heart your.
Please receive a law from His mouth, And set His sayings in your heart.
23 If you will return to [the] Almighty you will be built up you will remove injustice from tent your.
If you return to the Mighty you are built up, You put iniquity far from your tents.
24 And put on [the] dust gold and among [the] rock[s] of wadis gold of Ophir.
So as to set a defense on the dust, And a covering on a rock of the valleys.
25 And he will be [the] Almighty gold your and silver of heaps for you.
And the Mighty has been your defense, And silver [is] strength to you.
26 For then on [the] Almighty you will take delight and you may lift up to God face your.
For then you delight yourself on the Mighty, And lift up your face to God,
27 You will pray to him and he will hear you and vows your you will pay.
You make supplication to Him, And He hears you, And you complete 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 you decree a saying, And it is established to you, And light has shone on your ways.
29 If people brought low and you said up! and [the] lowly of eyes he will save.
For they have made low, And you say, Lift up. And He saves the bowed down of eyes.
30 He will deliver not an innocent [person] and he will be delivered by [the] cleanness of hands your.
He delivers the one [who is] not innocent, Indeed, he has been delivered By the cleanness of your hands.”
