Job - Chapter: 22


22:1	Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered, and said,
22:2	Can a man be profitable vnto God? as hee that is wise may be profitable vnto himselfe.
22:3	Is it any pleasure to the Almighty, that thou art righteous? or is it gaine to him, that thou makest thy waies perfite?
22:4	Will hee reproue thee for feare of thee? will he enter with thee into iudgment?
22:5	Is not thy wickednesse 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 giuen water to the wearie to drinke, and thou hast withholden bread from the hungry.
22:8	But as for the mightie man, hee had the earth, and the honourable man dwelt in it.
22:9	Thou hast sent widowes away emptie, and the armes of the fatherlesse haue bene broken.
22:10	Therefore snares are round about thee, and sudden feare troubleth thee,
22:11	Or darkenes that thou canst not see, and abundance of waters couer thee.
22:12	Is not God in the height of heauen? and behold the height of the starres how high they are.
22:13	And thou sayest, How doth God know? can he iudge through the darke cloude?
22:14	Thicke cloudes are a couering to him that he seeth not, and hee walketh in the circuit of heauen.
22:15	Hast thou marked the olde way which wicked men haue troden?
22:16	Which were cut downe out of time, whose foundation was ouerflowen with a flood.
22:17	Which said vnto God, Depart from vs, and what can the Almightie doe for them?
22:18	Yet he filled their houses with good things: but the counsell of the wicked is farre from me.
22:19	The righteous see it, and are glad, and the innocent laugh them to scorne.
22:20	Whereas our substance is not cut downe, but the remnant of them the fire consumeth.
22:21	Acquaint now thy selfe with him, and be at peace: thereby good shal come vnto thee.
22:22	Receiue, I pray thee, the Lawe from his mouth, and lay vp his words in thine heart.
22:23	If thou returne to the Almightie, thou shalt be built vp, thou shalt put away iniquitie farre from thy tabernacles.
22:24	Then shalt thou lay vp golde as dust, and the gold of Ophir as the stones of the brookes.
22:25	Yea the Almightie shall bee thy defence, and thou shalt haue plenty of siluer.
22:26	For then shalt thou haue thy delight in the Almightie, and shalt lift vp thy face vnto God.
22:27	Thou shalt make thy prayer vnto him, and he shall heare thee, and thou shalt pay thy vowes.
22:28	Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shal be established vnto thee: and the light shall shine vpon thy wayes.
22:29	When men are cast downe, then thou shalt say, There is lifting vp: and he shall saue the humble person.
22:30	He shall deliuer the Iland of the innocent: and it is deliuered by the purenesse of thine hands.


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.
