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 unto God, as he that is wise may be profitable unto 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 is it gain to him, that you make your ways perfect?

4 ¿ From fear your does he reprove you does he go? with you in judgment.

Will he reprove you for fear of you? will he enter with you into judgment?

5 ¿ Not [is] evil your great and not? an end [belongs] to iniquities your.

Is not your wickedness great? and your iniquities infinite?

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 a pledge 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 have not 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; and the honourable man dwelt 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 round about you, and sudden fear troubles you;

11 Or darkness not you will see and abundance of water it covers you.

Or darkness, that you can not see; and abundance of waters cover you.

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 height of heaven? and behold the height of the stars, how high they are!

13 And you say what? does he know God ¿ through thick darkness will he judge.

And you say, How does 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 sees not; and he walks in the circuit of heaven.

15 ¿ A path of antiquity will you keep which they have trodden men of wickedness.

Have you 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.

Which 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.

Which said unto 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 laugh them to scorn.

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 consumes.

21 Be reconciled please with him and be at peace by them it will come to you good.

Acquaint now yourself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto you.

22 Accept please from mouth his instruction and put words his in heart your.

Receive, I pray you, the law 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 shall be built up, you shall put away iniquity far from your tabernacles.

24 And put on [the] dust gold and among [the] rock[s] of wadis gold of Ophir.

Then shall you 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 your defence, and you shall 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 shall you have your delight in the Almighty, and shall lift up your face unto God.

27 You will pray to him and he will hear you and vows your you will pay.

You shall make your prayer unto him, and he shall hear you, and you shall 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 shall also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto you: and the light shall shine upon your ways.

29 If people brought low and you said up! and [the] lowly of eyes he will save.

When men are cast down, then you shall say, There is lifting up; 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 your hands.
