Job 22:1-30

Then Eliphaz
<0464>
the Temanite
<08489>
answered
<06030> (8799)
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
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?}
[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)_?
Will he reprove
<03198> (8686)
thee for fear
<03374>
of thee? will he enter
<0935> (8799)
with thee into judgment
<04941>_?
[Is] not thy wickedness
<07451>
great
<07227>_?
and thine iniquities
<05771>
infinite
<07093>_?
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}
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>_.
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}
Thou hast sent
<07971> (8765)
widows
<0490>
away empty
<07387>_,
and the arms
<02220>
of the fatherless
<03490>
have been broken
<01792> (8792)_.
Therefore snares
<06341>
[are] round about
<05439>
thee, and sudden
<06597>
fear
<06343>
troubleth
<0926> (8762)
thee;
Or darkness
<02822>_,
[that] thou canst not see
<07200> (8799)_;
and abundance
<08229>
of waters
<04325>
cover
<03680> (8762)
thee.
[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}
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}
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>_.
Hast thou marked
<08104> (8799)
the old
<05769>
way
<0734>
which wicked
<0205>
men
<04962>
have trodden
<01869> (8804)_?
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}
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}
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.
The righteous
<06662>
see
<07200> (8799)
[it], and are glad
<08055> (8799)_:
and the innocent
<05355>
laugh them to scorn
<03932> (8799)_.
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}
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}
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>_.
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>_.
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}
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}
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>_.
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>_.
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>_.
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}
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}
