Then answeredH6030 EliphazH464 the TemaniteH8489, and saidH559, Can a manH1397 be profitableH5532 unto GodH410? SurelyH3588 he that is wiseH7919 is profitableH5532 unto himself. Is it any pleasureH2656 to the AlmightyH7706, that thou art righteousH6663? Or is it gainH1215 to him, that thou makest thy waysH1870 perfectH8552? Is it for thy fearH3374 of him that he reprovethH3198 thee, That he enterethH935 with thee into judgmentH4941? Is not thy wickednessH7451 greatH7227? Neither is there any endH7093 to thine iniquitiesH5771. For thou hast taken pledgesH2254 of thy brotherH251 for noughtH2600, And strippedH6584 the nakedH6174 of their clothingH899. Thou hast not given waterH4325 to the wearyH5889 to drinkH8248, And thou hast withholdenH4513 breadH3899 from the hungryH7457. But as for the mightyH2220 manH376, he had the earthH776; And the honorable manH5375, he dweltH3427 in it. Thou hast sentH7971 widowsH490 away emptyH7387, And the armsH2220 of the fatherlessH3490 have been brokenH1792. Therefore snaresH6341 are round aboutH5439 thee, And suddenH6597 fearH6343 troublethH926 thee, Or darknessH2822, so that thou canst not seeH7200, And abundanceH8229 of watersH4325 coverH3680 thee. Is not GodH433 in the heightH1363 of heavenH8064? And beholdH7200 the heightH7218 of the starsH3556, how highH7311 they are! And thou sayestH559, What doth GodH410 knowH3045? Can he judgeH8199 through the thick darknessH6205? Thick cloudsH5645 are a coveringH5643 to him, so that he seethH7200 not; And he walkethH1980 on the vaultH2329 of heavenH8064. Wilt thou keepH8104 the oldH5769 wayH734 Which wickedH205 menH4962 have troddenH1869? Who were snatched awayH7059 before their timeH6256, Whose foundationH3247 was pouredH3332 out as a streamH5104, Who saidH559 unto GodH410, DepartH5493 from us; And, What can the AlmightyH7706 doH6466 for us? Yet he filledH4390 their housesH1004 with goodH2896 things: But the counselH6098 of the wickedH7563 is farH7368 from me. The righteousH6662 seeH7200 it, and are gladH8055; And the innocentH5355 laugh them to scornH3932, Saying, SurelyH518 they that did rise up againstH7009 us are cut offH3582, And the remnantH3499 of them the fireH784 hath consumedH398. AcquaintH5532 now thyself with him, and be at peaceH7999: Thereby goodH2896 shall comeH935 unto thee. ReceiveH3947, I pray thee, the lawH8451 from his mouthH6310, And lay upH7760 his wordsH561 in thy heartH3824. If thou returnH7725 to the AlmightyH7706, thou shalt be built upH1129, If thou put awayH7368 unrighteousnessH5766 farH7368 from thy tentsH168. And layH7896 thou thy treasureH1220 inH5921 the dustH6083, And the gold of OphirH211 among the stonesH6697 of the brooksH5158; And the AlmightyH7706 will be thy treasureH1220, And preciousH8443 silverH3701 unto thee. For then shalt thou delightH6026 thyself in the AlmightyH7706, And shalt lift upH5375 thy faceH6440 unto GodH433. Thou shalt make thy prayerH6279 unto him, and he will hearH8085 thee; And thou shalt payH7999 thy vowsH5088. Thou shalt also decreeH1504 a thingH562, and it shall be establishedH6965 unto thee; And lightH216 shall shineH5050 upon thy waysH1870. When they cast thee downH8213, thou shalt sayH559, There is lifting upH1466; And the humbleH7807 personH5869 he will saveH3467. He will deliverH4422 even himH336 that is not innocentH5355: Yea, he shall be deliveredH4422 through the cleannessH1252 of thy handsH3709.
