Job - Chapter: 22


22:1	Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,
22:2	Can a man be profitable unto God, as he that is wise may be profitable unto himself?
22:3	Is it any pleasure to the Almighty, that thou art righteous? or is it gain to him, that thou makest thy ways perfect?
22:4	Will he reprove thee for fear of thee? will he enter with thee into judgment?
22:5	Is not thy wickedness great? and thine iniquities infinite?
22:6	For thou hast taken a pledge from thy brother for nought, and stripped the naked of their clothing.
22:7	Thou hast not given water to the weary to drink, and thou hast withholden bread from the hungry.
22:8	But as for the mighty man, he had the earth; and the honourable man dwelt in it.
22:9	Thou hast sent widows away empty, and the arms of the fatherless have been broken.
22:10	Therefore snares are round about thee, and sudden fear troubleth thee;
22:11	Or darkness, that thou canst not see; and abundance of waters cover thee.
22:12	Is not God in the height of heaven? and behold the height of the stars, how high they are!
22:13	And thou sayest, How doth God know? can he judge through the dark cloud?
22:14	Thick clouds are a covering to him, that he seeth not; and he walketh in the circuit of heaven.
22:15	Hast thou marked the old way which wicked men have trodden?
22:16	Which were cut down out of time, whose foundation was overflown with a flood:
22:17	Which said unto God, Depart from us: and what can the Almighty do for them?
22:18	Yet he filled their houses with good things: but the counsel of the wicked is far from me.
22:19	The righteous see it, and are glad: and the innocent laugh them to scorn.
22:20	Whereas our substance is not cut down, but the remnant of them the fire consumeth.
22:21	Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee.
22:22	Receive, I pray thee, the law from his mouth, and lay up his words in thine heart.
22:23	If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up, thou shalt put away iniquity far from thy tabernacles.
22:24	Then shalt thou lay up gold as dust, and the gold of Ophir as the stones of the brooks.
22:25	Yea, the Almighty shall be thy defence, and thou shalt have plenty of silver.
22:26	For then shalt thou have thy delight in the Almighty, and shalt lift up thy face unto God.
22:27	Thou shalt make thy prayer unto him, and he shall hear thee, and thou shalt pay thy vows.
22:28	Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways.
22:29	When men are cast down, then thou shalt say, There is lifting up; and he shall save the humble person.
22:30	He shall deliver the island of the innocent: and it is delivered by the pureness of thine hands.


22:1	ויען אליפז התמני ויאמר׃
22:2	הלאל יסכן גבר כי יסכן עלימו משׂכיל׃
22:3	החפץ לשׁדי כי תצדק ואם בצע כי תתם דרכיך׃
22:4	המיראתך יכיחך יבוא עמך במשׁפט׃
22:5	הלא רעתך רבה ואין קץ לעונתיך׃
22:6	כי תחבל אחיך חנם ובגדי ערומים תפשׁיט׃
22:7	לא מים עיף תשׁקה ומרעב תמנע לחם׃
22:8	ואישׁ זרוע לו הארץ ונשׂוא פנים ישׁב׃
22:9	אלמנות שׁלחת ריקם וזרעות יתמים ידכא׃
22:10	על כן סביבותיך פחים ויבהלך פחד פתאם׃
22:11	או חשׁך לא תראה ושׁפעת מים תכסך׃
22:12	הלא אלוה גבה שׁמים וראה ראשׁ כוכבים כי רמו׃
22:13	ואמרת מה ידע אל הבעד ערפל ישׁפוט׃
22:14	עבים סתר לו ולא יראה וחוג שׁמים יתהלך׃
22:15	הארח עולם תשׁמר אשׁר דרכו מתי און׃
22:16	אשׁר קמטו ולא עת נהר יוצק יסודם׃
22:17	האמרים לאל סור ממנו ומה יפעל שׁדי׃
22:18	והוא מלא בתיהם טוב ועצת רשׁעים רחקה מני׃
22:19	יראו צדיקים וישׂמחו ונקי ילעג׃
22:20	אם לא נכחד קימנו ויתרם אכלה אשׁ׃
22:21	הסכן נא עמו ושׁלם בהם תבואתך טובה׃
22:22	קח נא מפיו תורה ושׂים אמריו בלבבך׃
22:23	אם תשׁוב עד שׁדי תבנה תרחיק עולה מאהלך׃
22:24	ושׁית על עפר בצר ובצור נחלים אופיר׃
22:25	והיה שׁדי בצריך וכסף תועפות׃
22:26	כי אז על שׁדי תתענג ותשׂא אל אלוה פניך׃
22:27	תעתיר אליו וישׁמעך ונדריך תשׁלם׃
22:28	ותגזר אומר ויקם לך ועל דרכיך נגה אור׃
22:29	כי השׁפילו ותאמר גוה ושׁח עינים יושׁע׃
22:30	ימלט אי נקי ונמלט בבר כפיך׃


22:1	And Eliphaz the Temanite answereth and saith: --
22:2	To God is a man profitable, Because a wise man to himself is profitable?
22:3	Is it a delight to the Mighty One That thou art righteous? is it gain, That thou makest perfect thy ways?
22:4	Because of thy reverence Doth He reason `with' thee? He entereth with thee into judgment:
22:5	Is not thy wickedness abundant? And there is no end to thine iniquities.
22:6	For thou takest a pledge of thy brother for nought, And the garments of the naked Thou dost strip off.
22:7	Thou causest not the weary to drink water, And from the hungry thou withholdest bread.
22:8	As to the man of arm -- he hath the earth, And the accepted of face -- he dwelleth in it.
22:9	Widows thou hast sent away empty, And the arms of the fatherless are bruised.
22:10	Therefore round about thee `are' snares, And trouble thee doth fear suddenly.
22:11	Or darkness -- thou dost not see, And abundance of waters doth cover thee.
22:12	Is not God high `in' heaven? And see the summit of the stars, That they are high.
22:13	And thou hast said, `What -- hath God known? Through thickness doth He judge?
22:14	Thick clouds `are' a secret place to Him, And He doth not see;' And the circle of the heavens He walketh habitually,
22:15	The path of the age dost thou observe, That men of iniquity have trodden?
22:16	Who have been cut down unexpectedly, A flood is poured out on their foundation.
22:17	Those saying to God, `Turn aside from us,' And what doth the Mighty One to them?
22:18	And he hath filled their houses `with' good: (And the counsel of the wicked Hath been far from me.)
22:19	See do the righteous and they rejoice, And the innocent mocketh at them,
22:20	`Surely our substance hath not been cut off, And their excellency hath fire consumed.'
22:21	Acquaint thyself, I pray thee, with Him, And be at peace, Thereby thine increase `is' good.
22:22	Receive, I pray thee, from His mouth a law, And set His sayings in thy heart.
22:23	If thou dost return unto the Mighty Thou art built up, Thou puttest iniquity far from thy tents.
22:24	So as to set on the dust a defence, And on a rock of the valleys a covering.
22:25	And the Mighty hath been thy defence, And silver `is' strength to thee.
22:26	For then on the Mighty thou delightest thyself, And dost lift up unto God thy face,
22:27	Thou dost make supplication unto Him, And He doth hear thee, And thy vows thou completest.
22:28	And thou decreest a saying, And it is established to thee, And on thy ways hath light shone.
22:29	For they have made low, And thou sayest, `Lift up.' And the bowed down of eyes he saveth.
22:30	He delivereth the not innocent, Yea, he hath been delivered By the cleanness of thy hands.
