Job 22

1 Eliphaz sheweth that man's goodness profiteth not God. 5 He accuseth Job of divers sins. 21 He exhorteth him to repentance, with promises of mercy.

 22:1 ¶ Then Eliphaz 464 the Temanite 8489 answered 6030 z8799 and said, 559 z8799

 22:2 Can a man 1397 be profitable 5532 z8799 unto God, 410 as y3588 he that x3588 is wise 7919 z8688 may be profitable 5532 z8799 unto x5921 himself?

 22:3 [Is it] any pleasure 2656 to the Almighty, 7706 that x3588 thou art righteous? 6663 z8799 or x518 [is it] gain 1215 [to him], that x3588 thou makest thy ways y1870 perfect? 8552 z8686 x1870

 22:4 Will he reprove 3198 z8686 thee for fear 3374 x4480 of thee? will he enter 935 z8799 with x5973 thee into judgment? 4941

 22:5 [Is] not x3808 thy wickedness 7451 great? 7227 and thine iniquities 5771 infinite? 7093 x369

 22:6 For x3588 thou hast taken a pledge 2254 z8799 from thy brother 251 for naught, 2600 and stripped 6584 z8686 the naked 6174 of their clothing. 899

 22:7 Thou hast not x3808 given water 4325 to the weary 5889 to drink, 8248 z8686 and thou hast withheld 4513 z8799 bread 3899 from the hungry. 7457 x4480

 22:8 But [as for] the mighty 2220 man, 376 he had the earth; 776 and the honorable man 5375 6440 z8803 dwelt 3427 z8799 in it.

 22:9 Thou hast sent y7971 z8765 widows y490 away x7971 x490 empty, 7387 and the arms 2220 of the fatherless 3490 have been broken. 1792 z8792

 22:10 Therefore x5921 x3651 snares 6341 [are] round about 5439 thee, and sudden 6597 fear 6343 troubleth 926 z8762 thee;

 22:11 Or x176 darkness, 2822 [that] thou canst not x3808 see; 7200 z8799 and abundance 8229 of waters 4325 cover 3680 z8762 thee.

 22:12 [Is] not x3808 God 433 in the height 1363 of heaven? 8064 and behold 7200 z8798 the height 7218 of the stars, 3556 how x3588 high y7311 z8804 they are! x7311

 22:13 And thou sayest, 559 z8804 How x4100 doth God 410 know? 3045 z8804 can he judge 8199 z8799 through x1157 the dark cloud? 6205

 22:14 Thick clouds 5645 [are] a covering 5643 to him, that he seeth 7200 z8799 not; x3808 and he walketh 1980 z8691 in the circuit 2329 of heaven. 8064

 22:15 Hast thou marked 8104 z8799 the old 5769 way 734 which x834 wicked 205 men 4962 have trodden? 1869 z8804

 22:16 Which x834 were cut down 7059 z8795 out of x3808 time, 6256 whose foundation 3247 was overflown 3332 z8714 with a flood: 5104

 22:17 Which said 559 z8802 unto God, 410 Depart 5493 z8798 from x4480 us: and what x4100 can the Almighty 7706 do 6466 z8799 for them?

 22:18 Yet he x1931 filled 4390 z8765 their houses 1004 with good 2896 [things]: but the counsel 6098 of the wicked 7563 is far 7368 z8804 from x4480 me.

 22:19 The righteous 6662 see 7200 z8799 [it], and are glad: 8055 z8799 and the innocent 5355 laugh them to scorn. 3932 z8799

 22:20 Whereas 518 our substance 7009 is not x3808 cut down, 3582 z8738 but the remnant 3499 of them the fire 784 consumeth. 398 z8804

 22:21 Acquaint 5532 z8685 now x4994 thyself with x5973 him, and be at peace: 7999 z8798 thereby good 2896 shall come 935 z8799 unto thee.

 22:22 Receive, 3947 z8798 I pray thee, x4994 the law 8451 from his mouth, 6310 x4480 and lay up 7760 z8798 his words 561 in thine heart. 3824

 22:23 If x518 thou return 7725 z8799 to x5704 the Almighty, 7706 thou shalt be built up, 1129 z8735 thou shalt put away y7368 z0 iniquity 5766 far 7368 z8686 from thy tabernacles. 168 x4480

 22:24 Then shalt thou lay up 7896 z8800 gold 1220 as 5921 dust, 6083 and the [gold] of Ophir 211 as the stones 6697 of the brooks. 5158

 22:25 Yea, the Almighty 7706 shall be x1961 thy defense, 1220 and thou shalt have plenty 8443 of silver. 3701

 22:26 For x3588 then x227 shalt thou have thy delight 6026 z8691 in x5921 the Almighty, 7706 and shalt lift up 5375 z8799 thy face 6440 unto x413 God. 433

 22:27 Thou shalt make thy prayer 6279 z8686 unto x413 him, and he shall hear 8085 z8799 thee, and thou shalt pay 7999 z8762 thy vows. 5088

 22:28 Thou shalt also decree 1504 z8799 a thing, 562 and it shall be established 6965 z8799 unto thee: and the light 216 shall shine 5050 z8804 upon x5921 thy ways. 1870

 22:29 When x3588 [men] are cast down, 8213 z8689 then thou shalt say, 559 z8799 [There is] lifting up; 1466 and he shall save 3467 z8686 the humble y7807 person. 5869 x7807

 22:30 He shall deliver 4422 z8762 the island 336 of the innocent: 5355 and it is delivered 4422 z8738 by the pureness 1252 of thine hands. 3709
