Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,

JOB 22:1

Can a man be profitable unto God, as he that is wise may be profitable unto himself?

JOB 22:2

Is it any pleasure to the Almighty, that thou art righteous? or is it gain to him, that thou makest thy ways perfect?

JOB 22:3

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

JOB 22:4

Is not thy wickedness great? and thine iniquities infinite?

JOB 22:5

For thou hast taken a pledge from thy brother for nought, and stripped the naked of their clothing.

JOB 22:6

Thou hast not given water to the weary to drink, and thou hast withholden bread from the hungry.

JOB 22:7

But as for the mighty man, he had the earth; and the honourable man dwelt in it.

JOB 22:8

Thou hast sent widows away empty, and the arms of the fatherless have been broken.

JOB 22:9

Therefore snares are round about thee, and sudden fear troubleth thee;

JOB 22:10

Or darkness, that thou canst not see; and abundance of waters cover thee.

JOB 22:11

Is not God in the height of heaven? and behold the height of the stars, how high they are!

JOB 22:12

And thou sayest, How doth God know? can he judge through the dark cloud?

JOB 22:13

Thick clouds are a covering to him, that he seeth not; and he walketh in the circuit of heaven.

JOB 22:14

Hast thou marked the old way which wicked men have trodden?

JOB 22:15

Which were cut down out of time, whose foundation was overflown with a flood:

JOB 22:16

Which said unto God, Depart from us: and what can the Almighty do for them?

JOB 22:17

Yet he filled their houses with good things: but the counsel of the wicked is far from me.

JOB 22:18

The righteous see it, and are glad: and the innocent laugh them to scorn.

JOB 22:19

Whereas our substance is not cut down, but the remnant of them the fire consumeth.

JOB 22:20

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

JOB 22:21

Receive, I pray thee, the law from his mouth, and lay up his words in thine heart.

JOB 22:22

If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up, thou shalt put away iniquity far from thy tabernacles.

JOB 22:23

Then shalt thou lay up gold as dust, and the gold of Ophir as the stones of the brooks.

JOB 22:24

Yea, the Almighty shall be thy defence, and thou shalt have plenty of silver.

JOB 22:25

For then shalt thou have thy delight in the Almighty, and shalt lift up thy face unto God.

JOB 22:26

Thou shalt make thy prayer unto him, and he shall hear thee, and thou shalt pay thy vows.

JOB 22:27

Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways.

JOB 22:28

When men are cast down, then thou shalt say, There is lifting up; and he shall save the humble person.

JOB 22:29

He shall deliver the island of the innocent: and it is delivered by the pureness of thine hands.

JOB 22:30
