Eliphaz Accuses Job of Wickedness
|
|
|
|
# Chapter 22
|
|
1. Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said:
|
|
|
|
2. "Can a man be profitable to God,
|
|
Though he who is wise may be profitable to himself?
|
|
|
|
3. Is it any pleasure to the Almighty that you are righteous?
|
|
Or is it gain to Him that you make your ways blameless?
|
|
|
|
4. "Is it because of your fear of Him that He corrects you,
|
|
And enters into judgment with you?
|
|
|
|
5. Is not your wickedness great,
|
|
And your iniquity without end?
|
|
|
|
6. For you have taken pledges from your brother for no reason,
|
|
And stripped the naked of their clothing.
|
|
|
|
7. You have not given the weary water to drink,
|
|
And you have withheld bread from the hungry.
|
|
|
|
8. But the mighty man possessed the land,
|
|
And the honorable man dwelt in it.
|
|
|
|
9. You have sent widows away empty,
|
|
And the strength of the fatherless was crushed.
|
|
|
|
10. Therefore snares are all around you,
|
|
And sudden fear troubles you,
|
|
|
|
11. Or darkness so that you cannot see;
|
|
And an abundance of water covers you.
|
|
|
|
12. "Is not God in the height of heaven?
|
|
And see the highest stars, how lofty they are!
|
|
|
|
13. And you say, 'What does God know?
|
|
Can He judge through the deep darkness?
|
|
|
|
14. Thick clouds cover Him, so that He cannot see,
|
|
And He walks above the circle of heaven.'
|
|
|
|
15. Will you keep to the old way
|
|
Which wicked men have trod,
|
|
|
|
16. Who were cut down before their time,
|
|
Whose foundations were swept away by a flood?
|
|
|
|
17. They said to God, 'Depart from us!
|
|
What can the Almighty do to them?'
|
|
|
|
18. Yet He filled their houses with good things;
|
|
But the counsel of the wicked is far from me.
|
|
|
|
19. "The righteous see it and are glad,
|
|
And the innocent laugh at them:
|
|
|
|
20. 'Surely our adversaries are cut down,
|
|
And the fire consumes their remnant.'
|
|
|
|
21. "Now acquaint yourself with Him, and be at peace;
|
|
Thereby good will come to you.
|
|
|
|
22. Receive, please, instruction from His mouth,
|
|
And lay up His words in your heart.
|
|
|
|
23. If you return to the Almighty, you will be built up;
|
|
You will remove iniquity far from your tents.
|
|
|
|
24. Then you will lay your gold in the dust,
|
|
And the gold of Ophir among the stones of the brooks.
|
|
|
|
25. Yes, the Almighty will be your gold
|
|
And your precious silver;
|
|
|
|
26. For then you will have your delight in the Almighty,
|
|
And lift up your face to God.
|
|
|
|
27. You will make your prayer to Him,
|
|
He will hear you,
|
|
And you will pay your vows.
|
|
|
|
28. You will also declare a thing,
|
|
And it will be established for you;
|
|
So light will shine on your ways.
|
|
|
|
29. When they cast you down, and you say, 'Exaltation will come!'
|
|
Then He will save the humble person.
|
|
|
|
30. He will even deliver one who is not innocent;
|
|
Yes, he will be delivered by the purity of your hands."
