1 Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite, and said, ASV — Job 22:1
2 Can a man be profitable unto God? Surely he that is wise is profitable unto himself. ASV — Job 22:2
3 Is it any pleasure to the Almighty, that thou art righteous? Or is it gain [to him], that thou makest thy ways perfect? ASV — Job 22:3
4 Is it for thy fear [of him] that he reproveth thee, That he entereth with thee into judgment? ASV — Job 22:4
5 Is not thy wickedness great? Neither is there any end to thine iniquities. ASV — Job 22:5
6 For thou hast taken pledges of thy brother for nought, And stripped the naked of their clothing. ASV — Job 22:6
7 Thou hast not given water to the weary to drink, And thou hast withholden bread from the hungry. ASV — Job 22:7
8 But as for the mighty man, he had the earth; And the honorable man, he dwelt in it. ASV — Job 22:8
9 Thou hast sent widows away empty, And the arms of the fatherless have been broken. ASV — Job 22:9
10 Therefore snares are round about thee, And sudden fear troubleth thee, ASV — Job 22:10
11 Or darkness, so that thou canst not see, And abundance of waters cover thee. ASV — Job 22:11
12 Is not God in the height of heaven? And behold the height of the stars, how high they are! ASV — Job 22:12
13 And thou sayest, What doth God know? Can he judge through the thick darkness? ASV — Job 22:13
14 Thick clouds are a covering to him, so that he seeth not; And he walketh on the vault of heaven. ASV — Job 22:14
15 Wilt thou keep the old way Which wicked men have trodden? ASV — Job 22:15
16 Who were snatched away before their time, Whose foundation was poured out as a stream, ASV — Job 22:16
17 Who said unto God, Depart from us; And, What can the Almighty do for us? ASV — Job 22:17
18 Yet he filled their houses with good things: But the counsel of the wicked is far from me. ASV — Job 22:18
19 The righteous see it, and are glad; And the innocent laugh them to scorn, ASV — Job 22:19
20 [Saying], Surely they that did rise up against us are cut off, And the remnant of them the fire hath consumed. ASV — Job 22:20
21 Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: Thereby good shall come unto thee. ASV — Job 22:21
22 Receive, I pray thee, the law from his mouth, And lay up his words in thy heart. ASV — Job 22:22
23 If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up, If thou put away unrighteousness far from thy tents. ASV — Job 22:23
24 And lay thou [thy] treasure in the dust, And [the gold of] Ophir among the stones of the brooks; ASV — Job 22:24
25 And the Almighty will be thy treasure, And precious silver unto thee. ASV — Job 22:25
26 For then shalt thou delight thyself in the Almighty, And shalt lift up thy face unto God. ASV — Job 22:26
27 Thou shalt make thy prayer unto him, and he will hear thee; And thou shalt pay thy vows. ASV — Job 22:27
28 Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee; And light shall shine upon thy ways. ASV — Job 22:28
29 When they cast [thee] down, thou shalt say, [There is] lifting up; And the humble person he will save. ASV — Job 22:29
30 He will deliver [even] him that is not innocent: Yea, he shall be delivered through the cleanness of thy hands. ASV — Job 22:30
