Job 22 KJV

1. 22:1  Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,
2. 22:2  Can a man be profitable unto God, as he that is wise may be profitable unto himself?
3. 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?
4. 22:4  Will he reprove thee for fear of thee? will he enter with thee into judgment?
5. 22:5  Is not thy wickedness great? and thine iniquities infinite?
6. 22:6  For thou hast taken a pledge from thy brother for nought, and stripped the naked of their clothing.
7. 22:7  Thou hast not given water to the weary to drink, and thou hast withholden bread from the hungry.
8. 22:8  But as for the mighty man, he had the earth; and the honourable man dwelt in it.
9. 22:9  Thou hast sent widows away empty, and the arms of the fatherless have been broken.
10. 22:10  Therefore snares are round about thee, and sudden fear troubleth thee;
11. 22:11  Or darkness, that thou canst not see; and abundance of waters cover thee.
12. 22:12  Is not God in the height of heaven? and behold the height of the stars, how high they are!
13. 22:13  And thou sayest, How doth God know? can he judge through the dark cloud?
14. 22:14  Thick clouds are a covering to him, that he seeth not; and he walketh in the circuit of heaven.
15. 22:15  Hast thou marked the old way which wicked men have trodden?
16. 22:16  Which were cut down out of time, whose foundation was overflown with a flood:
17. 22:17  Which said unto God, Depart from us: and what can the Almighty do for them?
18. 22:18  Yet he filled their houses with good things: but the counsel of the wicked is far from me.
19. 22:19  The righteous see it, and are glad: and the innocent laugh them to scorn.
20. 22:20  Whereas our substance is not cut down, but the remnant of them the fire consumeth.
21. 22:21  Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee.
22. 22:22  Receive, I pray thee, the law from his mouth, and lay up his words in thine heart.
23. 22:23  If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up, thou shalt put away iniquity far from thy tabernacles.
24. 22:24  Then shalt thou lay up gold as dust, and the gold of Ophir as the stones of the brooks.
25. 22:25  Yea, the Almighty shall be thy defence, and thou shalt have plenty of silver.
26. 22:26  For then shalt thou have thy delight in the Almighty, and shalt lift up thy face unto God.
27. 22:27  Thou shalt make thy prayer unto him, and he shall hear thee, and thou shalt pay thy vows.
28. 22:28  Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways.
29. 22:29  When men are cast down, then thou shalt say, There is lifting up; and he shall save the humble person.
30. 22:30  He shall deliver the island of the innocent: and it is delivered by the pureness of thine hands.
