Job 22:1 (YLT) Young's Literal Translation

1 And Eliphaz the Temanite answereth and saith: --
2 To God is a man profitable, Because a wise man to himself is profitable?
3 Is it a delight to the Mighty One That thou art righteous? is it gain, That thou makest perfect thy ways?
4 Because of thy reverence Doth He reason with thee? He entereth with thee into judgment:
5 Is not thy wickedness abundant? And there is no end to thine iniquities.
6 For thou takest a pledge of thy brother for nought, And the garments of the naked Thou dost strip off.
7 Thou causest not the weary to drink water, And from the hungry thou withholdest bread.
8 As to the man of arm -- he hath the earth, And the accepted of face -- he dwelleth in it.
9 Widows thou hast sent away empty, And the arms of the fatherless are bruised.
10 Therefore round about thee are snares, And trouble thee doth fear suddenly.
11 Or darkness -- thou dost not see, And abundance of waters doth cover thee.
12 Is not God high in heaven? And see the summit of the stars, That they are high.
13 And thou hast said, `What -- hath God known? Through thickness doth He judge?
14 Thick clouds are a secret place to Him, And He doth not see;` And the circle of the heavens He walketh habitually,
15 The path of the age dost thou observe, That men of iniquity have trodden?
16 Who have been cut down unexpectedly, A flood is poured out on their foundation.
17 Those saying to God, `Turn aside from us,` And what doth the Mighty One to them?
18 And he hath filled their houses with good: (And the counsel of the wicked Hath been far from me.)
19 See do the righteous and they rejoice, And the innocent mocketh at them,
20 `Surely our substance hath not been cut off, And their excellency hath fire consumed.`
21 Acquaint thyself, I pray thee, with Him, And be at peace, Thereby thine increase is good.
22 Receive, I pray thee, from His mouth a law, And set His sayings in thy heart.
23 If thou dost return unto the Mighty Thou art built up, Thou puttest iniquity far from thy tents.
24 So as to set on the dust a defence, And on a rock of the valleys a covering.
25 And the Mighty hath been thy defence, And silver is strength to thee.
26 For then on the Mighty thou delightest thyself, And dost lift up unto God thy face,
27 Thou dost make supplication unto Him, And He doth hear thee, And thy vows thou completest.
28 And thou decreest a saying, And it is established to thee, And on thy ways hath light shone.
29 For they have made low, And thou sayest, `Lift up.` And the bowed down of eyes he saveth.
30 He delivereth the not innocent, Yea, he hath been delivered By the cleanness of thy hands.
1 Then Eliphaz H464 the Temanite H8489 answered H6030 and said, H559
2 Can a man H1397 be profitable H5532 unto God, H410 as he that H3588 is wise H7919 may be profitable H5532 unto H5921 himself?
3 Is it any pleasure H2656 to the Almighty, H7706 that H3588 thou art righteous H6663 ? or H518 is it gain H1215 to him , that H3588 thou makest thy ways perfect H8552 H1870 ?
4 Will he reprove H3198 thee for fear H4480 H3374 of thee? will he enter H935 with H5973 thee into judgment H4941 ?
5 Is not H3808 thy wickedness H7451 great H7227 ? and thine iniquities H5771 infinite H369 H7093 ?
6 For H3588 thou hast taken a pledge H2254 from thy brother H251 for naught, H2600 and stripped H6584 the naked H6174 of their clothing. H899
7 Thou hast not H3808 given water H4325 to the weary H5889 to drink, H8248 and thou hast withheld H4513 bread H3899 from the hungry H4480 H7457 .
8 But as for the mighty H2220 man, H376 he had the earth; H776 and the honorable man H5375 H6440 dwelt H3427 in it.
9 Thou hast sent widows away H7971 H490 empty, H7387 and the arms H2220 of the fatherless H3490 have been broken. H1792
10 Therefore H5921 H3651 snares H6341 are round about H5439 thee , and sudden H6597 fear H6343 troubleth H926 thee;
11 Or H176 darkness, H2822 that thou canst not H3808 see; H7200 and abundance H8229 of waters H4325 cover H3680 thee.
12 Is not H3808 God H433 in the height H1363 of heaven H8064 ? and behold H7200 the height H7218 of the stars, H3556 how H3588 high they are H7311 !
13 And thou sayest, H559 How H4100 doth God H410 know H3045 ? can he judge H8199 through H1157 the dark cloud H6205 ?
14 Thick clouds H5645 are a covering H5643 to him , that he seeth H7200 not; H3808 and he walketh H1980 in the circuit H2329 of heaven. H8064
15 Hast thou marked H8104 the old H5769 way H734 which H834 wicked H205 men H4962 have trodden H1869 ?
16 Which H834 were cut down H7059 out of H3808 time, H6256 whose foundation H3247 was overflown H3332 with a flood: H5104
17 Which said H559 unto God, H410 Depart H5493 from H4480 us : and what H4100 can the Almighty H7706 do H6466 for them?
18 Yet he H1931 filled H4390 their houses H1004 with good H2896 things : but the counsel H6098 of the wicked H7563 is far H7368 from H4480 me.
19 The righteous H6662 see H7200 it , and are glad: H8055 and the innocent H5355 laugh them to scorn. H3932
20 Whereas H518 our substance H7009 is not H3808 cut down, H3582 but the remnant H3499 of them the fire H784 consumeth. H398
21 Acquaint H5532 now H4994 thyself with H5973 him , and be at peace: H7999 thereby good H2896 shall come H935 unto thee.
22 Receive H3947 , I pray thee, H4994 the law H8451 from his mouth H4480 H6310 , and lay up H7760 his words H561 in thine heart. H3824
23 If H518 thou return H7725 to H5704 the Almighty, H7706 thou shalt be built up, H1129 thou shalt put away iniquity H5766 far H7368 from thy tabernacles H4480 H168 .
24 Then shalt thou lay up H7896 gold H1220 as H5921 dust, H6083 and the gold of Ophir H211 as the stones H6697 of the brooks. H5158
25 Yea , the Almighty H7706 shall be H1961 thy defense, H1220 and thou shalt have plenty H8443 of silver. H3701
26 For H3588 then H227 shalt thou have thy delight H6026 in H5921 the Almighty, H7706 and shalt lift up H5375 thy face H6440 unto H413 God. H433
27 Thou shalt make thy prayer H6279 unto H413 him , and he shall hear H8085 thee , and thou shalt pay H7999 thy vows. H5088
28 Thou shalt also decree H1504 a thing, H562 and it shall be established H6965 unto thee : and the light H216 shall shine H5050 upon H5921 thy ways. H1870
29 When H3588 men are cast down, H8213 then thou shalt say, H559 There is lifting up; H1466 and he shall save H3467 the humble person H7807 H5869 .
30 He shall deliver H4422 the island H336 of the innocent: H5355 and it is delivered H4422 by the pureness H1252 of thine hands. H3709
