Verse
Job - ch 22 v 1 - 20
- Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,
- Can a man be profitable to God, as he that is wise may be profitable to himself?
- Is it any pleasure to the Almighty, that thou art righteous? or is it gain to him, that thou makest thy ways perfect?
- Will he reprove thee for fear of thee? will he enter with thee into judgment?
- Is not thy wickedness great? and thy iniquities infinite?
- For thou hast taken a pledge from thy brother for naught, and stripped the naked of their clothing.
- Thou hast not given water to the weary to drink, and thou hast withheld bread from the hungry.
- But as for the mighty man, he had the earth; and the honorable man dwelt in it.
- Thou hast sent widows away empty, and the arms of the fatherless have been broken.
- Therefore snares are around thee, and sudden fear troubleth thee;
- Or darkness, that thou canst not see; and abundance of waters cover thee.
- Is not God in the hight of heaven? and behold the hight of the stars, how high they are!
- And thou sayest, How doth God know? can he judge through the dark cloud?
- Thick clouds are a covering to him, that he seeth not; and he walketh in the circuit of heaven.
- Hast thou marked the old way which wicked men have trodden?
- Who were cut down out of time, whose foundation was overflowed with a flood!
- Who said to God, depart from us: and what can the Almighty do for them!
- Yet he filled their houses with good things: but the counsel of the wicked is far from me.
- The righteous see it, and are glad: and the innocent deride them.
- Whereas our substance is not cut down, but the remnant of them the fire consumeth.
