22:1And Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said, Compare
22:2Can a man of might be of any use to God? / No, a man of insight is of use only to himself. Compare
22:3Is it a matter of delight to the Almighty that you are righteous? / Or is it a gain to Him that you make your ways perfect? Compare
22:4Is it because of your fear of Him that He reproves you, / That He enters into judgment with you? Compare
22:5Is not your wickedness great, / And is there no end to your iniquities? Compare
22:6For you have taken pledges from your brothers without cause / And stripped the naked of their clothing. Compare
22:7You have not given water to the weary to drink, / And you have withheld bread from the hungry. Compare
22:8And as for the man of power, the earth was his; / And the man of honor dwelt in it. Compare
22:9You have sent away the widows empty, / And the arms of the orphans have been crushed. Compare
22:10Therefore snares are all around you; / And sudden dread troubles you, Compare
22:11Or darkness, so that you cannot see; / And an abundance of waters covers you. Compare
22:12Is not God at the height of heaven? / And look at the highest of the stars, how lofty they are! Compare
22:13And you say, What does God know? / Can He judge through the deep darkness? Compare
22:14Thick clouds are a covering to Him, so He cannot see; / And He walks upon the circle of the heavens. Compare
22:15Will you keep the old way, / Which wicked men have trodden? Compare
22:16Such were snatched away before their time, / Whose foundation was poured forth like a stream; Compare
22:17Who said to God, Depart from us; / And, What can the Almighty accomplish for us? Compare
22:18Yet He fills their houses with good things. / But the counsel of the wicked is far from Him. Compare
22:19The righteous see and rejoice, / And the innocent deride them, Compare
22:20Saying, Surely those who rose up against us are cut off, / And the remnant of them the fire has devoured. Compare
22:21Be well disposed to Him and at peace with Him; / By such, good will come upon you. Compare
22:22Receive instruction from His mouth, / And lay up His words in your heart. Compare
22:23If you return to the Almighty, you will be built up. / If you put injustice far away from your tents, Compare
22:24And place your gold nuggets in the dust / And your gold of Ophir in the stones of the brooks, Compare
22:25Then the Almighty will be your gold nuggets / And precious silver to you. Compare
22:26For then you will delight yourself in the Almighty, / And you will lift up your countenance to God. Compare
22:27You will pray to Him, and He will hear you; / And you will repay your vows. Compare
22:28You will also decree something, and it will be established for you; / And light will shine on your ways. Compare
22:29When they cast you down, you will say, I am up! / And the lowly person He will save. Compare
22:30He will deliver him who is not innocent; / Yes, you will be delivered through the cleanness of your hands. Compare
