Job 22
1 And he answered Eliphaz the Temanite and he said.
Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite, 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? Or can he that is wise be profitable unto Him?
3 ¿ [does] pleasure [belong] to [the] Almighty That you are righteous and or? profit that you make blameless ways your.
Is it any advantage to the Almighty, that thou art righteous? Or is it gain to Him, that thou makest thy ways blameless?
4 ¿ From fear your does he reprove you does he go? with you in judgment.
Is it for thy fear of Him that He reproveth thee, that He entereth with thee into judgment?
5 ¿ Not [is] evil your great and not? an end [belongs] to iniquities your.
Is not thy wickedness great? And are not thine iniquities without end?
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 pledges of thy brother for nought, 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 withholden bread from the hungry.
8 And a person of arm [belongs] to him the land and [one] uplifted of face he dwells in it.
And as a mighty man, who hath the earth, and as a man of rank, who dwelleth 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 round about thee, and sudden dread affrighted 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 height of heaven? And behold the topmost 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: 'What 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.
Wilt thou 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 unto God: 'Depart from us'; and what could the Almighty do unto 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 saw it, and were glad, and the innocent laugh them to scorn:
20 If not he has been destroyed adversary our and abundance their it has consumed fire.
'Surely their substance is cut off, and their abundance the fire hath consumed.'
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; thereby shall thine increase be good.
22 Accept please from mouth his instruction and put words his in heart your.
Receive, I pray thee, instruction 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 return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up — if thou put away unrighteousness far from thy tents,
24 And put on [the] dust gold and among [the] rock[s] of wadis gold of Ophir.
And lay thy treasure in the dust, and 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.
And the Almighty be thy treasure, and precious silver unto thee;
26 For then on [the] Almighty you will take delight and you may lift up to God face your.
Then surely shalt thou have thy delight in the Almighty, and shalt lift up thy face unto God.
27 You will pray to him and he will hear you and vows your you will pay.
Thou shalt make thy prayer unto Him, and He will 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 unto thee, and light shall shine upon thy ways.
29 If people brought low and you said up! and [the] lowly of eyes he will save.
When they cast thee down, thou shalt say: 'There is lifting up'; for the humble person He saveth.
30 He will deliver not an innocent [person] and he will be delivered by [the] cleanness of hands your.
He delivereth him that is innocent, yea, thou shalt be delivered through the cleanness of thy hands.
