Job 22
1 And he answered Eliphaz the Temanite and he said.
Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered,
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 he who is wise 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 any pleasure to the Almighty that you are righteous? Or does it benefit him that you make your ways perfect?
4 ¿ From fear your does he reprove you does he go? with you in judgment.
Is it for your piety that he reproves you, that he enters with you into judgment?
5 ¿ Not [is] evil your great and not? an end [belongs] to iniquities your.
Isn’t your wickedness great? Neither is there any 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 have taken pledges from your brother for nothing, 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.
You haven’t given water to the weary to drink, and you have 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. The honorable man, he lived 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 have been broken.
10 There-fore [are] around you snares and it terrifies you dread suddenly.
Therefore snares are around you. Sudden fear troubles you,
11 Or darkness not you will see and abundance of water it covers you.
or darkness, so that you can not see, and floods of waters cover you.
12 ¿ Not [is] God [the] height of heaven and look at [the] top of [the] stars that they are high.
“Isn’t God in the heights of heaven? See the height of the stars, how high they are!
13 And you say what? does he know God ¿ through thick darkness will he judge.
You say, ‘What does God know? Can he judge through the thick darkness?
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, so that he doesn’t see. He walks on the vault of the sky.’
15 ¿ A path of antiquity will you keep which they have trodden men of wickedness.
Will you keep 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 snatched away before their time, whose foundation was poured out as a stream,
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 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 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. The innocent ridicule them,
20 If not he has been destroyed adversary our and abundance their it has consumed fire.
saying, ‘Surely those who rose up against us are cut off. The fire has consumed their remnant.’
21 Be reconciled please with him and be at peace by them it will come to you good.
“Acquaint yourself with him now, and be at peace. By it, good will come to you.
22 Accept please from mouth his instruction and put words his in heart your.
Please receive instruction 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.
If you return to the Almighty, you will be built up, if you put away unrighteousness far from your tents.
24 And put on [the] dust gold and among [the] rock[s] of wadis gold of Ophir.
Lay your treasure in the dust, the gold of Ophir among the stones of the brooks.
25 And he will be [the] Almighty gold your and silver of heaps for you.
The Almighty will be your treasure, and precious silver to you.
26 For then on [the] Almighty you will take delight and you may lift up to God face your.
For then you will delight yourself in the Almighty, and will lift up your face to God.
27 You will pray to him and he will hear you and vows your you will pay.
You will make your prayer to him, and he will hear you. You will 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.
You will also decree a thing, and it will be established to you. Light will shine on your ways.
29 If people brought low and you said up! and [the] lowly of eyes he will save.
When they cast down, you will say, ‘be lifted up.’ He will save the humble person.
30 He will deliver not an innocent [person] and he will be delivered by [the] cleanness of hands your.
He will even deliver him who is not innocent. Yes, he will be delivered through the cleanness of your hands.”
