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