{Job 22:1} Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said, ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 22:2} Can a man be profitable unto God, as he that is wise may be profitable unto himself? ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 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? ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 22:4} Will he reprove thee for fear of thee? will he enter with thee into judgment? ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 22:5} [Is] not thy wickedness great? and thine iniquities infinite? ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 22:6} For thou hast taken a pledge from thy brother for nought, and stripped the naked of their clothing. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 22:7} Thou hast not given water to the weary to drink, and thou hast withholden bread from the hungry. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 22:8} But [as for] the mighty man, he had the earth; and the honourable man dwelt in it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 22:9} Thou hast sent widows away empty, and the arms of the fatherless have been broken. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 22:10} Therefore snares [are] round about thee, and sudden fear troubleth thee; ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 22:11} Or darkness, [that] thou canst not see; and abundance of waters cover thee. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 22:12} [Is] not God in the height of heaven? and behold the height of the stars, how high they are! ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 22:13} And thou sayest, How doth God know? can he judge through the dark cloud? ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 22:14} Thick clouds [are] a covering to him, that he seeth not; and he walketh in the circuit of heaven. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 22:15} Hast thou marked the old way which wicked men have trodden? ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 22:16} Which were cut down out of time, whose foundation was overflown with a flood: ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 22:17} Which said unto God, Depart from us: and what can the Almighty do for them? ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 22:18} Yet he filled their houses with good [things:] but the counsel of the wicked is far from me. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 22:19} The righteous see [it,] and are glad: and the innocent laugh them to scorn. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 22:20} Whereas our substance is not cut down, but the remnant of them the fire consumeth. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 22:21} Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 22:22} Receive, I pray thee, the law from his mouth, and lay up his words in thine heart. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 22:23} If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up, thou shalt put away iniquity far from thy tabernacles. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 22:24} Then shalt thou lay up gold as dust, and the [gold] of Ophir as the stones of the brooks. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 22:25} Yea, the Almighty shall be thy defence, and thou shalt have plenty of silver. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 22:26} For then shalt thou have thy delight in the Almighty, and shalt lift up thy face unto God. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 22:27} Thou shalt make thy prayer unto him, and he shall hear thee, and thou shalt pay thy vows. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 22:28} Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 22:29} When [men] are cast down, then thou shalt say, [There is] lifting up; and he shall save the humble person. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 22:30} He shall deliver the island of the innocent: and it is delivered by the pureness of thine hands.
