OEB JOB Chapter 22

JOB 22 ©

22Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said

2Can a man bring profit to God?

Nay, the wise man but profits himself

3Doth Almighty God care for thy righteousness?

Hath He gain from thy blameless ways?

4For thy piety would He chastise thee,

Or enter with thee into judgment?

5Is not thy wickedness great?

Are not thine iniquities endless?

6Thou hast wrongly taken pledge of thy brother,

And stripped from the naked their clothing.

7No water thou gavest the weary,

And bread thou hast held from the hungry.

8The land was for him that was strong,

And the man of rank made it his own.

9Thou has sent widows empty away,

Orphan arms thou hast broken in pieces:

10And therfore are snares round about thee,

And fear on a sudden confounds thee.

11Thy light is vanished in darkness,

And floods of waters are over thee.

12Is not God in the heights of heaven?

And the tops of the high stars He seeth.

13Yet thou sayest, "What doth God know?

Can He judge aright through the thick darkness?

14The clouds hide Him, so that He sees not;

He walketh the vault of the heavens."

15Wilt thou keep to the ancient way,

Which men of sin have trodden,

16Who untimely were snatched away.

While the ground beneath ran like a stream?

19The righteous rejoiced at the sight,

And the innocent laughed them to scorn.

20"Ah! surely our foes are cut off,

And the remnant devoured by the fire."

21Now be friendly with Him and submissive,

For this is the way to happiness.

22Acccept from His mouth instruction,

And lay up His words in thy heart.

23If thou humbly turn to Almighty,

And put away sin from thy tent,

24And lay in the dust thy treasure,

Ophir gold among stones of the brook,

25That Almighty become thy treasure,

And His instruction thy silver,

26Then Almighty shall be thy delight,

Thou shalt lift up thy face unto God.

27He will hearken unto thy petition,

And so shalt thou pay thy vows.

28The thing thou decreest shall stand,

And light shall shine on thy ways.

29For He humbles the high and the proud;

But whose eyes are lowly He saveth.

30The innocent man He delivers,

And saves for this cleanness of hands.
