Job - Chapter: 22


22:1	Forsothe Eliphat Themanytes answeride, and seide,
22:2	Whether a man, yhe, whanne he is of perfit kunnyng, mai be comparisound to God?
22:3	What profitith it to God, if thou art iust? ethir what schalt thou yyue to hym, if thi lijf is without wem?
22:4	Whether he schal drede, and schal repreue thee, and schal come with thee in to doom,
22:5	and not for thi ful myche malice, and thi wickidnessis with out noumbre, `these peynes bifelden iustli to thee?
22:6	For thou hast take awei with out cause the wed of thi britheren; and hast spuylid nakid men of clothis.
22:7	Thou yauest not watir to the feynt man; and thou withdrowist breed fro the hungri man.
22:8	In the strengthe of thin arm thou haddist the lond in possessioun; and thou moost myyti heldist it.
22:9	Thou leftist widewis voide; and al to-brakist the schuldris of fadirles children.
22:10	Therfor thou art cumpassid with snaris; and sodeyn drede disturblith thee.
22:11	And thou gessidist, that thou schuldist not se derknessis; and that thou schuldist not be oppressid with the fersnesse of watris flowyng.
22:12	Whether thou thenkist, that God is hiyere than heuene, and is enhaunsid aboue the coppe of sterris?
22:13	And thou seist, What sotheli knowith God? and, He demeth as bi derknesse.
22:14	A cloude is his hidyng place, and he biholdith not oure thingis, and he `goith aboute the herris of heuene.
22:15	Whether thou coueitist to kepe the path of worldis, which wickid men han ofte go?
22:16	Whiche weren takun awei bifor her tyme, and the flood distriede the foundement of hem.
22:17	Whiche seiden to God, Go thou awei fro vs; and as if Almyyti God may do no thing, thei gessiden hym,
22:18	whanne he hadde fillid her housis with goodis; the sentence of whiche men be fer fro me.
22:19	Iust men schulen se, and schulen be glad; and an innocent man schal scorne hem.
22:20	Whether the reisyng of hem is not kit doun, and fier schal deuoure the relifs of hem?
22:21	Therfor assente thou to God, and haue thou pees; and bi these thingis thou schalt haue best fruytis.
22:22	Take thou the lawe of his mouth, and sette thou hise wordis in thin herte.
22:23	If thou turnest ayen to Almyyti God, thou schalt be bildid; and thou schalt make wickidnesse fer fro thi tabernacle.
22:24	He schal yyue a flynt for erthe, and goldun strondis for a flynt.
22:25	And Almyyti God schal be ayens thin enemyes; and siluer schal be gaderid togidere to thee.
22:26	Thanne on Almyyti God thou schalt flowe with delicis; and thou schalt reise thi face to God.
22:27	Thou schalt preye hym, and he schal here thee; and thou schalt yelde thi vowis.
22:28	Thou schalt deme a thing, and it schal come to thee; and lyyt schal schyne in thi weies.
22:29	For he that is mekid, schal be in glorie; and he that bowith doun hise iyen, schal be saued.
22:30	An innocent schal be saued; sotheli he schal be saued in the clennesse of hise hondis.


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.
