Job 22

22:1

Then Eliphaz
<0464>

the Temanite
<08489>

answered
<06030> (8799)

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

22:2

Can a man
<01397>

be profitable
<05532> (8799)

unto God
<0410>_,

as
<03588>

he that is wise
<07919> (8688)

may be profitable
<05532> (8799)

unto himself? {as he...: or, if he may be profitable, doth his good success depend thereon?}

22:3

[Is it] any pleasure
<02656>

to the Almighty
<07706>_,

that thou art righteous
<06663> (8799)_?

or [is it] gain
<01215>

[to him], that thou makest thy ways
<01870>

perfect
<08552> (8686)_?

22:4

Will he reprove
<03198> (8686)

thee for fear
<03374>

of thee? will he enter
<0935> (8799)

with thee into judgment
<04941>_?

22:5

[Is] not thy wickedness
<07451>

great
<07227>_?

and thine iniquities
<05771>

infinite
<07093>_?

22:6

For thou hast taken a pledge
<02254> (8799)

from thy brother
<0251>

for nought
<02600>_,

and stripped
<06584> (8686)

the naked
<06174>

of their clothing
<0899>_.

{the naked...: Heb. the clothes of the naked}

22:7

Thou hast not given water
<04325>

to the weary
<05889>

to drink
<08248> (8686)_,

and thou hast withholden
<04513> (8799)

bread
<03899>

from the hungry
<07457>_.

22:8

But [as for] the mighty
<02220>

man
<0376>_,

he had the earth
<0776>_;

and the honourable man
<05375> (8803) <06440>

dwelt
<03427> (8799)

in it. {mighty...: Heb. man of arm} {honourable...: Heb. eminent, or, accepted for countenance}

22:9

Thou hast sent
<07971> (8765)

widows
<0490>

away empty
<07387>_,

and the arms
<02220>

of the fatherless
<03490>

have been broken
<01792> (8792)_.

22:10

Therefore snares
<06341>

[are] round about
<05439>

thee, and sudden
<06597>

fear
<06343>

troubleth
<0926> (8762)

thee;

22:11

Or darkness
<02822>_,

[that] thou canst not see
<07200> (8799)_;

and abundance
<08229>

of waters
<04325>

cover
<03680> (8762)

thee.

22:12

[Is] not God
<0433>

in the height
<01363>

of heaven
<08064>_?

and behold
<07200> (8798)

the height
<07218>

of the stars
<03556>_,

how high
<07311> (8804)

they are! {height of the stars: Heb. head of the stars}

22:13

And thou sayest
<0559> (8804)_,

How doth God
<0410>

know
<03045> (8804)_?

can he judge
<08199> (8799)

through the dark cloud
<06205>_?

{How: or, What}

22:14

Thick clouds
<05645>

[are] a covering
<05643>

to him, that he seeth
<07200> (8799)

not; and he walketh
<01980> (8691)

in the circuit
<02329>

of heaven
<08064>_.

22:15

Hast thou marked
<08104> (8799)

the old
<05769>

way
<0734>

which wicked
<0205>

men
<04962>

have trodden
<01869> (8804)_?

22:16

Which were cut down
<07059> (8795)

out of time
<06256>_,

whose foundation
<03247>

was overflown
<03332> (8714)

with a flood
<05104>_:

{whose...: Heb. a flood was poured upon their foundation}

22:17

Which said
<0559> (8802)

unto God
<0410>_,

Depart
<05493> (8798)

from us: and what can the Almighty
<07706>

do
<06466> (8799)

for them? {for: or, to}

22:18

Yet he filled
<04390> (8765)

their houses
<01004>

with good
<02896>

[things]: but the counsel
<06098>

of the wicked
<07563>

is far
<07368> (8804)

from me.

22:19

The righteous
<06662>

see
<07200> (8799)

[it], and are glad
<08055> (8799)_:

and the innocent
<05355>

laugh them to scorn
<03932> (8799)_.

22:20

Whereas
<0518>

our substance
<07009>

is not cut down
<03582> (8738)_,

but the remnant
<03499>

of them the fire
<0784>

consumeth
<0398> (8804)_.

{substance: or, estate} {the remnant...: or, their excellency}

22:21

Acquaint
<05532> (8685)

now thyself with him, and be at peace
<07999> (8798)_:

thereby good
<02896>

shall come
<0935> (8799)

unto thee. {him: that is, God}

22:22

Receive
<03947> (8798)_,

I pray thee, the law
<08451>

from his mouth
<06310>_,

and lay up
<07760> (8798)

his words
<0561>

in thine heart
<03824>_.

22:23

If thou return
<07725> (8799)

to the Almighty
<07706>_,

thou shalt be built up
<01129> (8735)_,

thou shalt put away
<07368> (0)

iniquity
<05766>

far
<07368> (8686)

from thy tabernacles
<0168>_.

22:24

Then shalt thou lay up
<07896> (8800)

gold
<01220>

as
<05921>

dust
<06083>_,

and the [gold] of Ophir
<0211>

as the stones
<06697>

of the brooks
<05158>_.

{as dust: or, on the dust}

22:25

Yea, the Almighty
<07706>

shall be thy defence
<01220>_,

and thou shalt have plenty
<08443>

of silver
<03701>_.

{defence: or, gold} {plenty...: Heb. silver of strength}

22:26

For then shalt thou have thy delight
<06026> (8691)

in the Almighty
<07706>_,

and shalt lift up
<05375> (8799)

thy face
<06440>

unto God
<0433>_.

22:27

Thou shalt make thy prayer
<06279> (8686)

unto him, and he shall hear
<08085> (8799)

thee, and thou shalt pay
<07999> (8762)

thy vows
<05088>_.

22:28

Thou shalt also decree
<01504> (8799)

a thing
<0562>_,

and it shall be established
<06965> (8799)

unto thee: and the light
<0216>

shall shine
<05050> (8804)

upon thy ways
<01870>_.

22:29

When [men] are cast down
<08213> (8689)_,

then thou shalt say
<0559> (8799)_,

[There is] lifting up
<01466>_;

and he shall save
<03467> (8686)

the humble
<07807>

person
<05869>_.

{the humble...: Heb. him that hath low eyes}

22:30

He shall deliver
<04422> (8762)

the island
<0336>

of the innocent
<05355>_:

and it is delivered
<04422> (8738)

by the pureness
<01252>

of thine hands
<03709>_.

{He shall...: or, The innocent shall deliver the island}
