    Job 22
    • 1   Then Eliphaz the Temanite made answer and said,
    • 2   Is it possible for a man to be of profit to God? No, for a man's wisdom is only of profit to himself.
    • 3   Is it of any interest to the Ruler of all that you are upright? or is it of use to him that your ways are without sin?
    • 4   Is it because you give him honour that he is sending punishment on you and is judging you?
    • 5   Is not your evil-doing great? and there is no end to your sins.
    • 6   For you have taken your brother's goods when he was not in your debt, and have taken away the clothing of those who have need of it.
    • 7   You do not give water to the tired traveller, and from him who has no food you keep back bread.
    • 8   For it was the man with power who had the land, and the man with an honoured name who was living in it.
    • 9   You have sent widows away without hearing their cause, and you have taken away the support of the child who has no father.
    • 10   For this cause nets are round your feet, and you are overcome with sudden fear.
    • 11   Your light is made dark so that you are unable to see, and you are covered by a mass of waters.
    • 12   Is not God as high as heaven? and see the stars, how high they are!
    • 13   And you say, What knowledge has God? is he able to give decisions through the deep dark?
    • 14   Thick clouds are covering him, so that he is unable to see; and he is walking on the arch of heaven.
    • 15   Will you keep the old way by which evil men went?
    • 16   Who were violently taken away before their time, who were overcome by the rush of waters:
    • 17   Who said to God, Go away from us; and, What is the Ruler of all able to do to us?
    • 18   Though he made their houses full of good things: but the purpose of the evil-doers is far from me!
    • 19   The upright saw it and were glad: and those who had done no wrong made sport of them,
    • 20   Saying, Truly, their substance is cut off, and their wealth is food for the fire.
    • 21   Put yourself now in a right relation with him and be at peace: so will you do well in your undertakings.
    • 22   Be pleased to take teaching from his mouth, and let his words be stored up in your heart.
    • 23   If you come back to the Ruler of all, making yourself low before him; if you put evil far away from your tents;
    • 24   And put your gold in the dust, even your gold of Ophir among the rocks of the valleys;
    • 25   Then the Ruler of all will be your gold, and his teaching will be your silver;
    • 26   For then you will have delight in the Ruler of all, and your face will be lifted up to God.
    • 27   You will make your prayer to him, and be answered; and you will give effect to your oaths.
    • 28   Your purposes will come about, and light will be shining on your ways.
    • 29   For God makes low those whose hearts are lifted up, but he is a saviour to the poor in spirit.
    • 30   He makes safe the man who is free from sin, and if your hands are clean, salvation will be yours.
