| The Darby Online Bible (DBY) | ||||||||||||||||
| Job 22:1 | And Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said, | |||||||||||||||
| Job 22:2 | Can a man be profitable to ùGod? surely it is unto himself that the wise man is profitable. | |||||||||||||||
| Job 22:3 | Is it any pleasure to the Almighty if thou art righteous? And is it gain [to him] that thou makest thy ways perfect? | |||||||||||||||

| Job 22:5 | Is not thy wickedness great? and thine iniquities without end? | |||||||||||||||
| Job 22:6 | For thou hast taken a pledge of thy brother for nought, and stripped off the clothing of the naked. | |||||||||||||||
| Job 22:7 | Thou hast not given water to the fainting to drink, and thou hast withholden bread from the hungry. | |||||||||||||||
| Job 22:8 | But the powerful man, he had the land; and the man of high rank dwelt in it. | |||||||||||||||
| Job 22:9 | Widows hast thou sent empty away, and the arms of the fatherless have been broken. | |||||||||||||||
| Job 22:10 | Therefore snares are round about thee, and sudden fear troubleth thee; | |||||||||||||||

| Job 22:15 | Dost thou mark the ancient path which wicked men have trodden? | |||||||||||||||
| Job 22:16 | Who were carried off before the time, whose foundation was overflowed with a flood; | |||||||||||||||
| Job 22:17 | Who said unto ùGod, Depart from us! and what could the Almighty do to them? | |||||||||||||||
| Job 22:18 | Yet he filled their houses with good. But the counsel of the wicked is far from me. | |||||||||||||||
| Job 22:19 | The righteous see it, and are glad; and the innocent laugh them to scorn: | |||||||||||||||
| Job 22:20 | Is not he who rose against us destroyed, and doth not the fire consume his residue? | |||||||||||||||
| Job 22:21 | Reconcile thyself now with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee. | |||||||||||||||
| Job 22:22 | Receive, I pray thee, instruction from his mouth, and lay up his words in thy heart. | |||||||||||||||

| Job 22:25 | Then the Almighty will be thy precious ore, and silver heaped up unto thee; | |||||||||||||||
| Job 22:26 | Yea, then shalt thou delight thyself in the Almighty, and shalt lift up thy face unto +God: | |||||||||||||||
| Job 22:27 | Thou shalt make thy prayer unto him, and he will hear thee, and thou shalt pay thy vows; | |||||||||||||||
| Job 22:28 | And thou shalt decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee; and light shall shine upon thy ways. | |||||||||||||||
| Job 22:29 | When they are made low, then thou shalt say, Rise up! and he shall save him that is of downcast eyes. | |||||||||||||||
| Job 22:30 | [Even] him that is not innocent shall he deliver; yea, he shall be delivered by the pureness of thy hands. | |||||||||||||||
