22 Then Eliphaz the Temanite replied:
2“Can man offer God any insight,
so that a sage should be of use to him?
3Has the Almighty any interest in your goodness?
Does he gain by your blameless life?
4Why should he punish you for your religion,
and pass sentence on you?
5Grave must your guilt be,
endless your sins.
6You have fleeced your fellows selfishly,
and stripped your debtors to the skin;
7you have not given the weary any water,
the hungry you have starved;
9you have sent widows away empty-handed,
you have been oppressing orphans,
8to let the powerful hold the land,
to let squires settle down.
10Therefore it is that snares close on you,
and panic fear is scaring you;
11therefore has your light turned to darkness,
and floods have overwhelmed you.
12Is not God high in heaven?
Does he not look down on the topmost star?
13And yet you say, ‘God never notices!
Can he rule through the darkness dense?
14He moves on the high vault of heaven;
he cannot see us for the clouds that veil him.’
15Is that the line you choose,
the line that evil men took long ago?
16They came to an untimely end;
when the floods undermined them,
19good men rejoiced to see their fate,
and over them the guiltless jeered,
20shouting, ‘Our* foes are now effaced,
and what they leave the flames will bum!’
21Give way to God, submit to him,
and it will mean prosperity for you;
22accept the orders that he issues,
take his words to heart.
23If you turn humbly to the Almighty,
and banish evil from your home,
24[[if you will throw your treasures to the ground,
and fling your gold of Ophir in the stream,
25and make the Almighty himself your treasure,
sound wisdom your wealth,]]
26then the Almighty shall be a joy to you,
and you can raise your eyes to God;
27when you pray, he will answer you,
and then you can fulfil your vows to him;
28whatever you plan shall prosper,
and you shall live in sunshine;
29for he humbles haughty upstarts,
and he helps the lowly,
30he saves those who are guiltless,
rescuing them for their unspotted record.”
