< 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, as he that is wise may be 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 art righteous? or [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 reprove 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 thy iniquities infinite?
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 from thy brother for naught, 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 hast not given water to the weary to drink, and thou hast 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 earth; and the honorable man dwelt in it.
9 Widows you have sent away with empty hands and [the] arms of fatherless ones it has been crushed.
Thou hast 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] around 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 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 hight of heaven? and behold the hight of the stars, how high they are!
13 And you say what? does he know God ¿ through thick darkness will he judge.
And thou sayest, How doth God know? can 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 in the circuit of heaven.
15 ¿ A path of antiquity will you keep which they have trodden men of wickedness.
Hast thou marked 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 cut down out of 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 to God, depart from us: and what can the Almighty 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 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 deride them.
20 If not he has been destroyed adversary our and abundance their it has consumed fire.
Whereas our substance is not cut down, but the remnant of them the fire consumeth.
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 shalt return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up, thou shalt put away iniquity far from thy tabernacles.
24 And put on [the] dust gold and among [the] rock[s] of wadis gold of Ophir.
Then shalt thou 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 shall be thy defense and thou shalt have plenty of silver.
26 For then on [the] Almighty you will take delight and you may lift up to God face your.
For then shalt thou have thy delight in the Almighty, and shalt lift up thy face to God.
27 You will pray to him and he will hear you and vows your you will pay.
Thou shalt make thy prayer to him, and he shall 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.
Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established to thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways.
29 If people brought low and you said up! and [the] lowly of eyes he will save.
When [men] are cast down, then thou shalt say, [There is] exaltation; and he shall save the humble person.
30 He will deliver not an innocent [person] and he will be delivered by [the] cleanness of hands your.
He shall deliver the island of the innocent: and it is delivered by the pureness of thy hands.
