22:1 Then Eliphaz 464 the Temanite 8489 answered 6030 8799 and said 559 8799,
22:2 Can a man 1397 be profitable 5532 8799 unto God 410, as 3588 he that is wise 7919 8688 may be profitable 5532 8799 unto himself?(as he…: or, if he may be profitable, doth his good success depend thereon?)
22:3 [Is it] any pleasure 2656 to the Almighty 7706, that thou art righteous 6663 8799? or [is it] gain 1215 [to him], that thou makest thy ways 1870 perfect 8552 8686?
22:4 Will he reprove 3198 8686 thee for fear 3374 of thee? will he enter 935 8799 with thee into judgment 4941?
22:5 [Is] not thy wickedness 7451 great 7227? and thine iniquities 5771 infinite 7093?
22:6 For thou hast taken a pledge 2254 8799 from thy brother 251 for nought 2600, and stripped 6584 8686 the naked 6174 of their clothing 899.(the naked…: Heb. the clothes of the naked)
22:7 Thou hast not given water 4325 to the weary 5889 to drink 8248 8686, and thou hast withholden 4513 8799 bread 3899 from the hungry 7457.
22:8 But [as for] the mighty 2220 man 376, he had the earth 776; and the honourable man 5375 8803 6440 dwelt 3427 8799 in it.(mighty…: Heb. man of arm)(honourable…: Heb. eminent, or, accepted for countenance)
22:9 Thou hast sent 7971 8765 widows 490 away empty 7387, and the arms 2220 of the fatherless 3490 have been broken 1792 8792.
22:10 Therefore snares 6341 [are] round about 5439 thee, and sudden 6597 fear 6343 troubleth 926 8762 thee;
22:11 Or darkness 2822, [that] thou canst not see 7200 8799; and abundance 8229 of waters 4325 cover 3680 8762 thee.
22:12 [Is] not God 433 in the height 1363 of heaven 8064? and behold 7200 8798 the height 7218 of the stars 3556, how high 7311 8804 they are!(height of the stars: Heb. head of the stars)
22:13 And thou sayest 559 8804, How doth God 410 know 3045 8804? can he judge 8199 8799 through the dark cloud 6205?(How: or, What)
22:14 Thick clouds 5645 [are] a covering 5643 to him, that he seeth 7200 8799 not; and he walketh 1980 8691 in the circuit 2329 of heaven 8064.
22:15 Hast thou marked 8104 8799 the old 5769 way 734 which wicked 205 men 4962 have trodden 1869 8804?
22:16 Which were cut down 7059 8795 out of time 6256, whose foundation 3247 was overflown 3332 8714 with a flood 5104:(whose…: Heb. a flood was poured upon their foundation)
22:17 Which said 559 8802 unto God 410, Depart 5493 8798 from us: and what can the Almighty 7706 do 6466 8799 for them?(for: or, to)
22:18 Yet he filled 4390 8765 their houses 1004 with good 2896 [things]: but the counsel 6098 of the wicked 7563 is far 7368 8804 from me.
22:19 The righteous 6662 see 7200 8799 [it], and are glad 8055 8799: and the innocent 5355 laugh them to scorn 3932 8799.
22:20 Whereas 518 our substance 7009 is not cut down 3582 8738, but the remnant 3499 of them the fire 784 consumeth 398 8804.(substance: or, estate)(the remnant…: or, their excellency)
22:21 Acquaint 5532 8685 now thyself with him, and be at peace 7999 8798: thereby good 2896 shall come 935 8799 unto thee.(him: that is, God)
22:22 Receive 3947 8798, I pray thee, the law 8451 from his mouth 6310, and lay up 7760 8798 his words 561 in thine heart 3824.
22:23 If thou return 7725 8799 to the Almighty 7706, thou shalt be built up 1129 8735, thou shalt put away 7368 0 iniquity 5766 far 7368 8686 from thy tabernacles 168.
22:24 Then shalt thou lay up 7896 8800 gold 1220 as 5921 dust 6083, and the [gold] of Ophir 211 as the stones 6697 of the brooks 5158.(as dust: or, on the dust)
22:25 Yea, the Almighty 7706 shall be thy defence 1220, and thou shalt have plenty 8443 of silver 3701.(defence: or, gold)(plenty…: Heb. silver of strength)
22:26 For then shalt thou have thy delight 6026 8691 in the Almighty 7706, and shalt lift up 5375 8799 thy face 6440 unto God 433.
22:27 Thou shalt make thy prayer 6279 8686 unto him, and he shall hear 8085 8799 thee, and thou shalt pay 7999 8762 thy vows 5088.
22:28 Thou shalt also decree 1504 8799 a thing 562, and it shall be established 6965 8799 unto thee: and the light 216 shall shine 5050 8804 upon thy ways 1870.
22:29 When [men] are cast down 8213 8689, then thou shalt say 559 8799, [There is] lifting up 1466; and he shall save 3467 8686 the humble 7807 person 5869.(the humble…: Heb. him that hath low eyes)
22:30 He shall deliver 4422 8762 the island 336 of the innocent 5355: and it is delivered 4422 8738 by the pureness 1252 of thine hands 3709.(He shall…: or, The innocent shall deliver the island)
