Job 22
1 And he answered Eliphaz the Temanite and he said.
Forsothe Eliphat Themanytes answeride, and seide,
2 ¿ To God will he be of use a man for will he be of use? on him a wise [person].
Whether a man, yhe, whanne he is of perfit kunnyng, mai be comparisound to God?
3 ¿ [does] pleasure [belong] to [the] Almighty That you are righteous and or? profit that you make blameless ways your.
What profitith it to God, if thou art iust? ethir what schalt thou yyue to hym, if thi lijf is without wem?
4 ¿ From fear your does he reprove you does he go? with you in judgment.
Whether he schal drede, and schal repreue thee, and schal come with thee in to doom,
5 ¿ Not [is] evil your great and not? an end [belongs] to iniquities your.
and not for thi ful myche malice, and thi wickidnessis with out noumbre, `these peynes bifelden iustli to thee?
6 For you have held in pledge brothers your without cause and [the] garments of naked [people] you have stripped off.
For thou hast take awei with out cause the wed of thi britheren; and hast spuylid nakid men of clothis.
7 Not water [the] weary you have given to drink and from [the] hungry you have withheld bread.
Thou yauest not watir to the feynt man; and thou withdrowist breed fro the hungri man.
8 And a person of arm [belongs] to him the land and [one] uplifted of face he dwells in it.
In the strengthe of thin arm thou haddist the lond in possessioun; and thou moost myyti heldist it.
9 Widows you have sent away with empty hands and [the] arms of fatherless ones it has been crushed.
Thou leftist widewis voide; and al to-brakist the schuldris of fadirles children.
10 There-fore [are] around you snares and it terrifies you dread suddenly.
Therfor thou art cumpassid with snaris; and sodeyn drede disturblith thee.
11 Or darkness not you will see and abundance of water it covers you.
And thou gessidist, that thou schuldist not se derknessis; and that thou schuldist not be oppressid with the fersnesse of watris flowyng.
12 ¿ Not [is] God [the] height of heaven and look at [the] top of [the] stars that they are high.
Whether thou thenkist, that God is hiyere than heuene, and is enhaunsid aboue the coppe of sterris?
13 And you say what? does he know God ¿ through thick darkness will he judge.
And thou seist, What sotheli knowith God? and, He demeth as bi derknesse.
14 Clouds [are] a hiding place of him and not he will see and [the] circle of heaven he walks about.
A cloude is his hidyng place, and he biholdith not oure thingis, and he `goith aboute the herris of heuene.
15 ¿ A path of antiquity will you keep which they have trodden men of wickedness.
Whether thou coueitist to kepe the path of worldis, which wickid men han ofte go?
16 Who they were snatched away and not an appropriate time a river it was poured out foundation their.
Whiche weren takun awei bifor her tyme, and the flood distriede the foundement of hem.
17 Who were saying to God depart from us and what? will he do [the] Almighty to them.
Whiche seiden to God, Go thou awei fro vs; and as if Almyyti God may do no thing, thei gessiden hym,
18 And he he filled houses their good thing[s] and [the] counsel of wicked [people] it is far from me.
whanne he hadde fillid her housis with goodis; the sentence of whiche men be fer fro me.
19 They see [it] righteous [people] so they may rejoice and [the] innocent he mocks them.
Iust men schulen se, and schulen be glad; and an innocent man schal scorne hem.
20 If not he has been destroyed adversary our and abundance their it has consumed fire.
Whether the reisyng of hem is not kit doun, and fier schal deuoure the relifs of hem?
21 Be reconciled please with him and be at peace by them it will come to you good.
Therfor assente thou to God, and haue thou pees; and bi these thingis thou schalt haue best fruytis.
22 Accept please from mouth his instruction and put words his in heart your.
Take thou the lawe of his mouth, and sette thou hise wordis in thin herte.
23 If you will return to [the] Almighty you will be built up you will remove injustice from tent your.
If thou turnest ayen to Almyyti God, thou schalt be bildid; and thou schalt make wickidnesse fer fro thi tabernacle.
24 And put on [the] dust gold and among [the] rock[s] of wadis gold of Ophir.
He schal yyue a flynt for erthe, and goldun strondis for a flynt.
25 And he will be [the] Almighty gold your and silver of heaps for you.
And Almyyti God schal be ayens thin enemyes; and siluer schal be gaderid togidere to thee.
26 For then on [the] Almighty you will take delight and you may lift up to God face your.
Thanne on Almyyti God thou schalt flowe with delicis; and thou schalt reise thi face to God.
27 You will pray to him and he will hear you and vows your you will pay.
Thou schalt preye hym, and he schal here thee; and thou schalt yelde thi vowis.
28 And you may decide a matter and it may be fulfilled for you and on ways your it will shine light.
Thou schalt deme a thing, and it schal come to thee; and lyyt schal schyne in thi weies.
29 If people brought low and you said up! and [the] lowly of eyes he will save.
For he that is mekid, schal be in glorie; and he that bowith doun hise iyen, schal be saued.
30 He will deliver not an innocent [person] and he will be delivered by [the] cleanness of hands your.
An innocent schal be saued; sotheli he schal be saued in the clennesse of hise hondis.
