22 Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said
2 Can a man bring profit to God?
Nay, the wise man but profits himself
3 Doth Almighty God care for thy righteousness?
Hath He gain from thy blameless ways?
4 For thy piety would He chastise thee,
Or enter with thee into judgment?
5 Is not thy wickedness great?
Are not thine iniquities endless?
6 Thou hast wrongly taken pledge of thy brother,
And stripped from the naked their clothing.
7 No water thou gavest the weary,
And bread thou hast held from the hungry.
8 The land was for him that was strong,
And the man of rank made it his own.
9 Thou has sent widows empty away,
Orphan arms thou hast broken in pieces:
10 And therfore are snares round about thee,
And fear on a sudden confounds thee.
11 Thy light is vanished in darkness,
And floods of waters are over thee.
12 Is not God in the heights of heaven?
And the tops of the high stars He seeth.
13 Yet thou sayest, "What doth God know?
Can He judge aright through the thick darkness?
14 The clouds hide Him, so that He sees not;
He walketh the vault of the heavens."
15 Wilt thou keep to the ancient way,
Which men of sin have trodden,
16 Who untimely were snatched away.
While the ground beneath ran like a stream?
19 The 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."
21 Now be friendly with Him and submissive,
For this is the way to happiness.
22 Acccept from His mouth instruction,
And lay up His words in thy heart.
23 If thou humbly turn to Almighty,
And put away sin from thy tent,
24 And lay in the dust thy treasure,
Ophir gold among stones of the brook,
25 That Almighty become thy treasure,
And His instruction thy silver,
26 Then Almighty shall be thy delight,
Thou shalt lift up thy face unto God.
27 He will hearken unto thy petition,
And so shalt thou pay thy vows.
28 The thing thou decreest shall stand,
And light shall shine on thy ways.
29 For He humbles the high and the proud;
But whose eyes are lowly He saveth.
30 The innocent man He delivers,
And saves for this cleanness of hands.
