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

JOB 22:2 Can a man be profitable to God, as he that is wise may be profitable to 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 thy iniquities infinite?

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

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

JOB 22:8 But as for the mighty man, he had the earth; and the honorable 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 around 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 hight of heaven? and behold the hight 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 Who were cut down out of time, whose foundation was overflowed with a flood!

JOB 22:17 Who said to 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 deride them.

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: by this good shall come to thee.

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

JOB 22:23 If thou shalt 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 defense 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 to God.

JOB 22:27 Thou shalt make thy prayer to 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 to thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways.

JOB 22:29 When men are cast down, then thou shalt say, There is exaltation; 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 thy hands.
