1 Then Eliphaz 464 the Temanite 8489 answered 6030 and said 559,
2 Can a man 1397 be profitable 5532 unto God 410, as 3588 he that is wise 7919 may be profitable 5532 unto himself?
3 Is it any pleasure 2656 to the Almighty 7706, that thou art righteous 6663? or is it gain 1215 to him, that thou makest thy ways 1870 perfect 8552?
4 Will he reprove 3198 thee for fear 3374 of thee? will he enter 935 with thee into judgment 4941?
5 Is not thy wickedness 7451 great 7227? and thine iniquities 5771 infinite 7093?
6 For thou hast taken a pledge 2254 from thy brother 251 for nought 2600, and stripped 6584 the naked 6174 of their clothing 899.
7 Thou hast not given water 4325 to the weary 5889 to drink 8248, and thou hast withholden 4513 bread 3899 from the hungry 7457.
8 But as for the mighty 2220 man 376, he had the earth 776; and the honourable man 5375 6440 dwelt 3427 in it.
9 Thou hast sent 7971 widows 490 away empty 7387, and the arms 2220 of the fatherless 3490 have been broken 1792.
10 Therefore snares 6341 are round about 5439 thee, and sudden 6597 fear 6343 troubleth 926 thee;
11 Or darkness 2822, that thou canst not see 7200; and abundance 8229 of waters 4325 cover 3680 thee.
12 Is not God 433 in the height 1363 of heaven 8064? and behold 7200 the height 7218 of the stars 3556, how high 7311 they are!
13 And thou sayest 559, How doth God 410 know 3045? can he judge 8199 through the dark cloud 6205?
14 Thick clouds 5645 are a covering 5643 to him, that he seeth 7200 not; and he walketh 1980 in the circuit 2329 of heaven 8064.
15 Hast thou marked 8104 the old 5769 way 734 which wicked 205 men 4962 have trodden 1869?
16 Which were cut down 7059 out of time 6256, whose foundation 3247 was overflown 3332 with a flood 5104:
17 Which said 559 unto God 410, Depart 5493 from us: and what can the Almighty 7706 do 6466 for them?
18 Yet he filled 4390 their houses 1004 with good 2896 things: but the counsel 6098 of the wicked 7563 is far 7368 from me.
19 The righteous 6662 see 7200 it, and are glad 8055: and the innocent 5355 laugh them to scorn 3932.
20 Whereas 518 our substance 7009 is not cut down 3582, but the remnant 3499 of them the fire 784 consumeth 398.
21 Acquaint 5532 now thyself with him, and be at peace 7999: thereby good 2896 shall come 935 unto thee.
22 Receive 3947, I pray thee, the law 8451 from his mouth 6310, and lay up 7760 his words 561 in thine heart 3824.
23 If thou return 7725 to the Almighty 7706, thou shalt be built up 1129, thou shalt put away 7368 0 iniquity 5766 far 7368 from thy tabernacles 168.
24 Then shalt thou lay up 7896 gold 1220 as 5921 dust 6083, and the gold of Ophir 211 as the stones 6697 of the brooks 5158.
25 Yea, the Almighty 7706 shall be thy defence 1220, and thou shalt have plenty 8443 of silver 3701.
26 For then shalt thou have thy delight 6026 in the Almighty 7706, and shalt lift up 5375 thy face 6440 unto God 433.
27 Thou shalt make thy prayer 6279 unto him, and he shall hear 8085 thee, and thou shalt pay 7999 thy vows 5088.
28 Thou shalt also decree 1504 a thing 562, and it shall be established 6965 unto thee: and the light 216 shall shine 5050 upon thy ways 1870.
29 When men are cast down 8213, then thou shalt say 559, There is lifting up 1466; and he shall save 3467 the humble 7807 person 5869.
30 He shall deliver 4422 the island 336 of the innocent 5355: and it is delivered 4422 by the pureness 1252 of thine hands 3709.
