| Job 22: (YLT) |
| 1) And Eliphaz the Temanite answereth and saith: -- |
| 2) To God is a man profitable, Because a wise man to himself is profitable? |
| 3) Is it a delight to the Mighty One That thou art righteous? is it gain, That thou makest perfect thy ways? |
| 4) Because of thy reverence Doth He reason [with] thee? He entereth with thee into judgment: |
| 5) Is not thy wickedness abundant? And there is no end to thine iniquities. |
| 6) For thou takest a pledge of thy brother for nought, And the garments of the naked Thou dost strip off. |
| 7) Thou causest not the weary to drink water, And from the hungry thou withholdest bread. |
| 8) As to the man of arm -- he hath the earth, And the accepted of face -- he dwelleth in it. |
| 9) Widows thou hast sent away empty, And the arms of the fatherless are bruised. |
| 10) Therefore round about thee [are] snares, And trouble thee doth fear suddenly. |
| 11) Or darkness -- thou dost not see, And abundance of waters doth cover thee. |
| 12) Is not God high [in] heaven? And see the summit of the stars, That they are high. |
| 13) And thou hast said, 'What -- hath God known? Through thickness doth He judge? |
| 14) Thick clouds [are] a secret place to Him, And He doth not see;' And the circle of the heavens He walketh habitually, |
| 15) The path of the age dost thou observe, That men of iniquity have trodden? |
| 16) Who have been cut down unexpectedly, A flood is poured out on their foundation. |
| 17) Those saying to God, 'Turn aside from us,' And what doth the Mighty One to them? |
| 18) And he hath filled their houses [with] good: (And the counsel of the wicked Hath been far from me.) |
| 19) See do the righteous and they rejoice, And the innocent mocketh at them, |
| 20) 'Surely our substance hath not been cut off, And their excellency hath fire consumed.' |
| 21) Acquaint thyself, I pray thee, with Him, And be at peace, Thereby thine increase [is] good. |
| 22) Receive, I pray thee, from His mouth a law, And set His sayings in thy heart. |
| 23) If thou dost return unto the Mighty Thou art built up, Thou puttest iniquity far from thy tents. |
| 24) So as to set on the dust a defence, And on a rock of the valleys a covering. |
| 25) And the Mighty hath been thy defence, And silver [is] strength to thee. |
| 26) For then on the Mighty thou delightest thyself, And dost lift up unto God thy face, |
| 27) Thou dost make supplication unto Him, And He doth hear thee, And thy vows thou completest. |
| 28) And thou decreest a saying, And it is established to thee, And on thy ways hath light shone. |
| 29) For they have made low, And thou sayest, 'Lift up.' And the bowed down of eyes he saveth. |
| 30) He delivereth the not innocent, Yea, he hath been delivered By the cleanness of thy hands. |
