[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] [16] [17] [18] [19] [20] [21] [22] [23] [24] [25] [26] [27] [28] [29] [30] [31] [32] [33] [34] [35] [36] [37] [38] [39] [40] [41] [42]

JOB 22:1 Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,

JOB 22:2 Can a man be profitable unto God, as he that is wise may be profitable unto himself?

JOB 22:3 Is it any pleasure to the Almighty, that thou art righteous? or is it gain to him, that thou makest thy ways perfect?

JOB 22:4 Will he reprove thee for fear of thee? will he enter with thee into judgment?

JOB 22:5 Is not thy wickedness great? and thine iniquities infinite?

JOB 22:6 For thou hast taken a pledge from thy brother for nought, and stripped the naked of their clothing.

JOB 22:7 Thou hast not given water to the weary to drink, and thou hast withholden bread from the hungry.

JOB 22:8 But as for the mighty man, he had the earth; and the honourable man dwelt in it.

JOB 22:9 Thou hast sent widows away empty, and the arms of the fatherless have been broken.

JOB 22:10 Therefore snares are round about thee, and sudden fear troubleth thee;

JOB 22:11 Or darkness, that thou canst not see; and abundance of waters cover thee.

JOB 22:12 Is not God in the height of heaven? and behold the height of the stars, how high they are!

JOB 22:13 And thou sayest, How doth God know? can he judge through the dark cloud?

JOB 22:14 Thick clouds are a covering to him, that he seeth not; and he walketh in the circuit of heaven.

JOB 22:15 Hast thou marked the old way which wicked men have trodden?

JOB 22:16 Which were cut down out of time, whose foundation was overflown with a flood:

JOB 22:17 Which said unto God, Depart from us: and what can the Almighty do for them?

JOB 22:18 Yet he filled their houses with good things: but the counsel of the wicked is far from me.

JOB 22:19 The righteous see it, and are glad: and the innocent laugh them to scorn.

JOB 22:20 Whereas our substance is not cut down, but the remnant of them the fire consumeth.

JOB 22:21 Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee.

JOB 22:22 Receive, I pray thee, the law from his mouth, and lay up his words in thine heart.

JOB 22:23 If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up, thou shalt put away iniquity far from thy tabernacles.

JOB 22:24 Then shalt thou lay up gold as dust, and the gold of Ophir as the stones of the brooks.

JOB 22:25 Yea, the Almighty shall be thy defence, and thou shalt have plenty of silver.

JOB 22:26 For then shalt thou have thy delight in the Almighty, and shalt lift up thy face unto God.

JOB 22:27 Thou shalt make thy prayer unto him, and he shall hear thee, and thou shalt pay thy vows.

JOB 22:28 Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways.

JOB 22:29 When men are cast down, then thou shalt say, There is lifting up; and he shall save the humble person.

JOB 22:30 He shall deliver the island of the innocent: and it is delivered by the pureness of thine hands.
