JOB CHAPTER 22
- Job 22:1 And Eliphaz the Temanite answereth and saith: --
- 22:2 To God is a man profitable, Because a wise man to himself is profitable?
- 22:3 Is it a delight to the Mighty One That thou art righteous? is it gain, That thou makest perfect thy ways?
- 22:4 Because of thy reverence Doth He reason [with] thee? He entereth with thee into judgment:
- 22:5 Is not thy wickedness abundant? And there is no end to thine iniquities.
- 22:6 For thou takest a pledge of thy brother for nought, And the garments of the naked Thou dost strip off.
- 22:7 Thou causest not the weary to drink water, And from the hungry thou withholdest bread.
- 22:8 As to the man of arm -- he hath the earth, And the accepted of face -- he dwelleth in it.
- 22:9 Widows thou hast sent away empty, And the arms of the fatherless are bruised.
- Job 22:10 Therefore round about thee [are] snares, And trouble thee doth fear suddenly.
- 22:11 Or darkness -- thou dost not see, And abundance of waters doth cover thee.
- 22:12 Is not God high [in] heaven? And see the summit of the stars, That they are high.
- 22:13 And thou hast said, 'What -- hath God known? Through thickness doth He judge?
- 22:14 Thick clouds [are] a secret place to Him, And He doth not see;' And the circle of the heavens He walketh habitually,
- 22:15 The path of the age dost thou observe, That men of iniquity have trodden?
- 22:16 Who have been cut down unexpectedly, A flood is poured out on their foundation.
- 22:17 Those saying to God, 'Turn aside from us,' And what doth the Mighty One to them?
- 22:18 And he hath filled their houses [with] good: (And the counsel of the wicked Hath been far from me.)
- 22:19 See do the righteous and they rejoice, And the innocent mocketh at them,
- Job 22:20 'Surely our substance hath not been cut off, And their excellency hath fire consumed.'
- 22:21 Acquaint thyself, I pray thee, with Him, And be at peace, Thereby thine increase [is] good.
- 22:22 Receive, I pray thee, from His mouth a law, And set His sayings in thy heart.
- 22:23 If thou dost return unto the Mighty Thou art built up, Thou puttest iniquity far from thy tents.
- 22:24 So as to set on the dust a defence, And on a rock of the valleys a covering.
- 22:25 And the Mighty hath been thy defence, And silver [is] strength to thee.
- 22:26 For then on the Mighty thou delightest thyself, And dost lift up unto God thy face,
- 22:27 Thou dost make supplication unto Him, And He doth hear thee, And thy vows thou completest.
- 22:28 And thou decreest a saying, And it is established to thee, And on thy ways hath light shone.
- 22:29 For they have made low, And thou sayest, 'Lift up.' And the bowed down of eyes he saveth.
- Job 22:30 He delivereth the not innocent, Yea, he hath been delivered By the cleanness of thy hands.

JOB CHAPTER 23
- Job 23:1 And Job answereth and saith: --
- 23:2 Also -- to-day [is] my complaint bitter, My hand hath been heavy because of my sighing.
- 23:3 O that I had known -- and I find Him, I come in unto His seat,
- 23:4 I arrange before Him the cause, And my mouth fill [with] arguments.
- 23:5 I know the words He doth answer me, And understand what He saith to me.
- 23:6 In the abundance of power doth He strive with me? No! surely He putteth [it] in me.
- 23:7 There the upright doth reason with Him, And I escape for ever from my judge.
- 23:8 Lo, forward I go -- and He is not, And backward -- and I perceive him not.
- 23:9 [To] the left in His working -- and I see not, He is covered [on] the right, and I behold not.
- Job 23:10 For He hath known the way with me, He hath tried me -- as gold I go forth.
- 23:11 On His step hath my foot laid hold, His way I have kept, and turn not aside,
- 23:12 The command of His lips, and I depart not. Above my allotted portion I have laid up The sayings of His mouth.
- 23:13 And He [is] in one [mind], And who doth turn Him back? And His soul hath desired -- and He doth [it].
- 23:14 For He doth complete my portion, And many such things [are] with Him.
- 23:15 Therefore, from His presence I am troubled, I consider, and am afraid of Him.
- 23:16 And God hath made my heart soft, And the Mighty hath troubled me.
- 23:17 For I have not been cut off before darkness, And before me He covered thick darkness.

- 24:4 They turn aside the needy from the way, Together have hid the poor of the earth.
- 24:5 Lo, wild asses in a wilderness, They have gone out about their work, Seeking early for prey, A mixture for himself -- food for young ones.

- 24:17 When together, morning [is] to them death shade, When he discerneth the terrors of death shade.
- 24:18 Light he [is] on the face of the waters, Vilified is their portion in the earth, He turneth not the way of vineyards.
- 24:19 Drought -- also heat -- consume snow-waters, Sheol [those who] have sinned.
- Job 24:20 Forget him doth the womb, Sweeten [on] him doth the worm, No more is he remembered, And broken as a tree is wickedness.

- 24:22 And hath drawn the mighty by his power, He riseth, and none believeth in life.
- 24:23 He giveth to him confidence, and he is supported, And his eyes [are] on their ways.
- 24:24 High they were [for] a little, and they are not, And they have been brought low. As all [others] they are shut up, And as the head of an ear of corn cut off.
- 24:25 And if not now, who doth prove me a liar, And doth make of nothing my word?
