Job - Chapter: 22


22:1	So Eliphas the Themanite gaue aunswere, and sayde
22:2	May a man be profitable vnto God, as he that is wise may be profitable vnto him selfe
22:3	Is it any aduauntage to the almightie that thou art righteous? or shall it profite him that thou makest thy wayes perfect
22:4	Is he afrayde to reproue thee, and to step foorth with thee into iudgement
22:5	Is not thy wickednesse great, and thy vngratious deedes innumerable
22:6	For thou hast taken the pledge from thy brother for naught, and robbed the naked of their clothing
22:7	To such as were weery, hast thou geuen no water to drinke, & hast withdrawen bread from the hungrie
22:8	But the mightie man had the earth, and he that was in auctoritie dwelt in it
22:9	Thou hast sent wydowes away emptie, and the armes of the fatherlesse were broken
22:10	Therefore art thou compassed about with snares, & sodenly vexed with feare
22:11	Shouldest thou then see no darknesse? shoulde not the water fludde run ouer thee
22:12	Is not God on high in the heauen? beholde the heyght of the starres how hie they are
22:13	Wilt thou therfore say, Tushe, howe should God know? can he iudge through the darke cloude
22:14	Tushe, the cloudes couer him that he may not see, and he walketh on the top of heauen
22:15	Hast thou marked the way of the world, wherin wicked men haue walked
22:16	Whiche were cut downe out of time, and whose foundation was as an ouerflowing ryuer
22:17	Whiche sayd vnto God, Go from vs: and asked what the almightie coulde do for them
22:18	He filled their houses with good things: but the counsell of the vngodly be farre from me
22:19	The righteous sawe it and were glad, and the innocent laughed them to scorne
22:20	Is our substaunce bewen downe? As for the remnaunt of them the fire hath consumed
22:21	Therefore reconcile thee vnto God, and be at peace: so shall all thinges prospere with thee right well
22:22	Receaue I pray thee the lawe at his mouth, and lay vp his wordes in thyne heart
22:23	For if thou wilt turne to the almightie, thou shalt be buyld vp, and put all vnrighteousnes from thy dwelling
22:24	Thou shalt lay vp golde as plentyful as the dust, and the golde of Ophir as the flyntes of the riuers
22:25	Yea almightie God his owne selfe shalbe thy defence, and thou shalt haue plentie of siluer
22:26	Then shalt thou haue thy delite in the almightie, and lift vp thy face vnto God
22:27	Then shalt thou make thy prayer vnto him, and he shall heare thee, and thou shalt kepe thy promises
22:28	Thou shalt also decree a thing, and he shall establishe it vnto thee, and the light shall shine in thy wayes
22:29	When the wicked be cast downe, thou shalt say, I am lifted vp: and God shall saue the humble person
22:30	The innocent shal deliuer the Ilande: it shalbe preserued by the purenesse of thyne handes


22:1	Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered, and sayde,
22:2	May a man be profitable vnto God, as he that is wise, may be profitable to himselfe?
22:3	Is it any thing vnto the Almightie, that thou art righteous? or is it profitable to him, that thou makest thy wayes vpright?
22:4	Is it for feare of thee that he will accuse thee? or go with thee into iudgement?
22:5	Is not thy wickednes great, and thine iniquities innumerable?
22:6	For thou hast taken the pledge from thy brother for nought, and spoyled the clothes of the naked.
22:7	To such as were wearie, thou hast not giuen water to drinke, and hast withdrawen bread from the hungrie.
22:8	But the mightie man had the earth, and he that was in autoritie, dwelt in it.
22:9	Thou hast cast out widowes emptie, and the armes of the fatherles were broken.
22:10	Therefore snares are round about thee, and feare shall suddenly trouble thee:
22:11	Or darkenes that thou shouldest not see, and abundance of waters shall couer thee.
22:12	Is not God on hie in the heauen? and behold the height of the starres how hie they are.
22:13	But thou sayest, How should God know? can he iudge through the darke cloude?
22:14	The cloudes hide him that he can not see, and he walketh in the circle of heauen.
22:15	Hast thou marked the way of the worlde, wherein wicked men haue walked?
22:16	Which were cut downe before the time, whose foundation was as a riuer that ouerflowed:
22:17	Which sayd vnto God, Depart from vs, and asked what the Almightie could do for them.
22:18	Yet hee filled their houses with good things: but let the counsell of the wicked be farre from me.
22:19	The righteous shall see them, and shall reioyce, and the innocent shall laugh them to scorne.
22:20	Surely our substance is hid: but the fire hath deuoured the remnant of them.
22:21	Therefore acquaint thy selfe, I pray thee, with him, and make peace: thereby thou shalt haue prosperitie.
22:22	Receiue, I pray thee, the law of his mouth, and lay vp his words in thine heart.
22:23	If thou returne to the Almightie, thou shalt be buylt vp, and thou shalt put iniquitie farre from thy tabernacle.
22:24	Thou shalt lay vp golde for dust, and the gold of Ophir, as the flintes of the riuers.
22:25	Yea, the Almightie shalbe thy defence, and thou shalt haue plentie of siluer.
22:26	And thou shalt then delite in the Almightie, and lift vp thy face vnto God.
22:27	Thou shalt make thy praier vnto him, and he shall heare thee, and thou shalt render thy vowes.
22:28	Thou shalt also decree a thing, and he shall establish it vnto thee, and the light shall shine vpon thy wayes.
22:29	When others are cast downe, then shalt thou say, I am lifted vp: and God shall saue the humble person.
22:30	The innocent shall deliuer the yland, and it shalbe preserued by the purenes of thine hands.


22:1	So Eliphas the Themanite gaue answere, and sayde:
22:2	Maye a man be profitable vnto God, as he that is wyse maye be profytable to hym selfe?
22:3	Is it any vauntage to the Allmyghtye that thou art ryghteous? Or shall it profyte hym, that thou makest thy wayes perfect?
22:4	Is he afrayed to reproue the, and to steppe forth with the into iudgment?
22:5	Is not thy wickednesse greate, and thyne vngracious dedes innumerable?
22:6	For thou hast taken the pledge from thy brother for naught, and robbed the naked of their clothinge:
22:7	To soche as were weery hast thou geuen no water to drincke, & hast withdrawen bred from the hungrye:
22:8	Shulde soch one then as vseth violence, wrong & oppression (doing all thinge of parcialite, and hauinge respecte of personnes) dwell in the lande?
22:9	Thou hast sent wyddowes awaye emptie and oppressed the poore fatherlesse.
22:10	Therfore art thou compassed aboute with snares on euery syde, and sodenly vexed with feare.
22:11	Shuldest thou then se no darckenesse? Shulde not the water floude runne ouer the?
22:12	Now because that God is hyer then the heauens, and because thou seyst that the starres are so hye,
22:13	wilt thou therfore saye: Tushe, how shulde God knowe? Doth his dominyon reache beyonde the cloudes?
22:14	Tush, the cloudes couer him that he maye not se, & he dwelleth aboue heauen.
22:15	Dost not thou kepe the olde waye, that vayne men haue gone?
22:16	Which were cut downe out of tyme, and whose foundacyon was as a runnynge water,
22:17	which sayed vnto God: go from vs, and what dyd the Allmyghtye with them?
22:18	He fylled theyr houses with good thinges. But the councell of the vngodly is farre fro me.
22:19	The ryghteous sawe it and were glad, and the innocent laughed them to scorne.
22:20	Is oure increase hewen downe? As for the remnaunt of them, the fyre hath consumed it.
22:21	Therfore reconcile the vnto God, and be content, so shall all thinges prospere with the ryght well.
22:22	Receaue the lawe at his mouth, and laye vp his wordes in thyne herte.
22:23	For yf thou wilt turne to the Almightye, thou shall stande fast, and put all vnrighteousnesse from thy dwellynge:
22:24	Thou shall make golde as plentifull as the dust, and the golde of Ophir as the flyntes of the ryuers.
22:25	Yee, Almightye God hys awne selfe shalbe thy defence, and thou shalt haue plentye of syluer.
22:26	Then shalt thou haue thy delite in the Almightie, & lyft vp thy face vnto God.
22:27	Then shalt thou make thy prayer vnto him, and he shall heare the, and thou shalt kepe thy promyses.
22:28	Then, loke what thou takest in hand, he shall make it to prospere with the, and the lyght shall shyne in the wayes.
22:29	For who so humbleth hym selfe, him shall be set vp: and who so loketh mekely, shalbe healed.
22:30	If thou be innocent thou shalt deliuer the countre because of the vngyltynesse of thyne handes.
