1 # Then Eliphaz <0464> the Temanite <08489> answered <06030> (8799) and said <0559> (8799),
2 Can a man <01397> be profitable <05532> (8799) unto God <0410>, as <03588> he that is wise <07919> (8688) may be profitable <05532> (8799) unto himself?
3 Is it any pleasure <02656> to the Almighty <07706>, that thou art righteous <06663> (8799)? or is it gain <01215> to him, that thou makest thy ways <01870> perfect <08552> (8686)?
4 Will he reprove <03198> (8686) thee for fear <03374> of thee? will he enter <0935> (8799) with thee into judgment <04941>?
5 # Is not thy wickedness <07451> great <07227>? and thine iniquities <05771> infinite <07093>?
6 For thou hast taken a pledge <02254> (8799) from thy brother <0251> for nought <02600>, and stripped <06584> (8686) the naked <06174> of their clothing <0899>.
7 Thou hast not given water <04325> to the weary <05889> to drink <08248> (8686), and thou hast withholden <04513> (8799) bread <03899> from the hungry <07457>.
8 But as for the mighty <02220> man <0376>, he had the earth <0776>; and the honourable man <05375> (8803) <06440> dwelt <03427> (8799) in it.
9 Thou hast sent <07971> (8765) widows <0490> away empty <07387>, and the arms <02220> of the fatherless <03490> have been broken <01792> (8792).
10 Therefore snares <06341> are round about <05439> thee, and sudden <06597> fear <06343> troubleth <0926> (8762) thee;
11 Or darkness <02822>, that thou canst not see <07200> (8799); and abundance <08229> of waters <04325> cover <03680> (8762) thee.
12 Is not God <0433> in the height <01363> of heaven <08064>? and behold <07200> (8798) the height <07218> of the stars <03556>, how high <07311> (8804) they are!
13 And thou sayest <0559> (8804), How doth God <0410> know <03045> (8804)? can he judge <08199> (8799) through the dark cloud <06205>?
 - CLOUD - GLORY
14 Thick clouds <05645> are a covering <05643> to him, that he seeth <07200> (8799) not; and he walketh <01980> (8691) in the circuit <02329> of heaven <08064>.
15 # Hast thou marked <08104> (8799) the old <05769> way <0734> which wicked <0205> men <04962> have trodden <01869> (8804)?
16 Which were cut down <07059> (8795) out of time <06256>, whose foundation <03247> was overflown <03332> (8714) with a flood <05104>:
17 Which said <0559> (8802) unto God <0410>, Depart <05493> (8798) from us: and what can the Almighty <07706> do <06466> (8799) for them?
18 Yet he filled <04390> (8765) their houses <01004> with good <02896> things: but the counsel <06098> of the wicked <07563> is far <07368> (8804) from me.
19 The righteous <06662> see <07200> (8799) it, and are glad <08055> (8799): and the innocent <05355> laugh them to scorn <03932> (8799).
20 Whereas <0518> our substance <07009> is not cut down <03582> (8738), but the remnant <03499> of them the fire <0784> consumeth <0398> (8804).
21 # Acquaint <05532> (8685) now thyself with him, and be at peace <07999> (8798): thereby good <02896> shall come <0935> (8799) unto thee.
22 Receive <03947> (8798), I pray thee, the law <08451> from his mouth <06310>, and lay up <07760> (8798) his words <0561> in thine heart <03824>.
23 If thou return <07725> (8799) to the Almighty <07706>, thou shalt be built up <01129> (8735), thou shalt put away <07368> <00> iniquity <05766> far <07368> (8686) from thy tabernacles <0168>.
24 Then shalt thou lay up <07896> (8800) gold <01220> as <05921> dust <06083>, and the gold of Ophir <0211> as the stones <06697> of the brooks <05158>.
25 Yea, the Almighty <07706> shall be thy defence <01220>, and thou shalt have plenty <08443> of silver <03701>.
26 For then shalt thou have thy delight <06026> (8691) in the Almighty <07706>, and shalt lift up <05375> (8799) thy face <06440> unto God <0433>.
27 Thou shalt make thy prayer <06279> (8686) unto him, and he shall hear <08085> (8799) thee, and thou shalt pay <07999> (8762) thy vows <05088>.
28 Thou shalt also decree <01504> (8799) a thing <0562>, and it shall be established <06965> (8799) unto thee: and the light <0216> shall shine <05050> (8804) upon thy ways <01870>.
29 When men are cast down <08213> (8689), then thou shalt say <0559> (8799), There is lifting up <01466> ; and he shall save <03467> (8686) the humble <07807> person <05869>.
30 He shall deliver <04422> (8762) the island <0336> of the innocent <05355>: and it is delivered <04422> (8738) by the pureness <01252> of thine hands <03709>.
