1Then Eliphaz^H464 the Temanite^H8489 responded,^H6030H559
2"Can a vigorous man^H1397 be of use^H5532 to God,^H410 Or^H3588 a wise^H7919 man be useful^H5532 to himself?
3"Is there any pleasure^H2656 to the Almighty^H7706 if^H3588 you are righteous,^H6663 Or^H518 profit^H1215 if^H3588 you make^H8552 your ways^H1870 perfect^H8552?
4"Is it because^H4480 of your reverence^H3374 that He reproves^H3198 you, That He enters^H935 into judgment^H4941 against^H5973 you?
5"Is not your wickedness^H9567 great,^H7227 And your iniquities^H5771 without^H369 end^H7093?
6"For you have taken^H9111 pledges^H9111 of your brothers^H251 without^H2600 cause,^H2600 And stripped^H6584 men naked.^H6174
7"To the weary^H5889 you have given^H8248 no^H3808 water^H4325 to drink,^H8248 And from the hungry^H7457 you have withheld^H4513 bread.^H3899
8"But the earth^H776 belongs to the mighty^H2220 man,^H376 And the honorable^H5375H6440 man dwells^H3427 in it.
9"You have sent^H7971 widows^H490 away^H7971 empty,^H7387 And the strength^H2220 of the orphans^H3490 has been crushed.^H1792
10"Therefore^H5921H3651 snares^H6341 surround^H5439 you, And sudden^H6597 dread^H6343 terrifies^H926 you,
11Or^H176 darkness,^H2822 so that you cannot^H3808 see,^H7200 And an abundance^H8229 of water^H4325 covers^H3680 you.
12"Is not God^H433 [in] the height^H1363 of heaven^H8064? Look^H7200 also at the distant^H7218 stars,^H3556 how^H3588 high^H7311 they are!
13"And you say,^H559 'What^H4100 does God^H410 know^H3045? Can He judge^H8199 through^H1157 the thick^H6205 darkness^H6205?
14'Clouds^H5645 are a hiding^H5643 place^H5643 for Him, so that He cannot^H3808 see;^H7200 And He walks^H1980 on the vault^H2329 of heaven.^H8064'
15"Will you keep^H8104 to the ancient^H5769 path^H734 Which^H834 wicked^H205 men^H4962 have trod,^H1869
16Who^H834 were snatched^H7059 away^H7059 before their time,^H6256 Whose foundations^H3247 were washed^H3332 away^H3332 by a river^H5104?
17"They said^H559 to God,^H410 'Depart^H5493 from us!' And 'What^H4100 can the Almighty^H7706 do^H6466 to them?'
18"Yet He filled^H4390 their houses^H1004 with good^H9185 [things;] But the counsel^H6098 of the wicked^H7563 is far^H7368 from me.
19"The righteous^H6662 see^H7200 and are glad,^H8055 And the innocent^H9345 mock^H3932 them,
20[Saying,] 'Truly^H518H3808 our adversaries^H7009 are cut^H3582 off,^H3582 And their abundance^H3499 the fire^H784 has consumed.^H398'
21"Yield^H5532 now^H4994 and be at peace^H7999 with Him; Thereby good^H9186 will come^H935 to you.
22"Please^H4994 receive^H3947 instruction^H8451 from His mouth,^H6310 And establish^H7760 His words^H561 in your heart.^H3824
23"If^H518 you return^H7725 to the Almighty,^H7706 you will be restored;^H1129 If you remove^H7368 unrighteousness^H9390 far^H7368 from your tent,^H168
24And place^H7896 [your] gold^H1220 in the dust,^H6083 And [the gold of] Ophir^H211 among the stones^H6697 of the brooks,^H5158
25Then the Almighty^H7706 will be your gold^H1220 And choice^H8443 silver^H3701 to you.
26"For then^H227 you will delight^H6026 in the Almighty,^H7706 And lift^H5375 up your face^H6440 to God.^H433
27"You will pray^H6279 to Him, and He will hear^H8085 you; And you will pay^H9608 your vows.^H5088
28"You will also decree^H1504 a thing,^H561 and it will be established^H6965 for you; And light^H216 will shine^H5050 on your ways.^H1870
29"When^H3588 you are cast^H8213 down,^H8213 you will speak^H559 with confidence^H1466 And the humble^H7807H5869 person^H7807H5869 He will save.^H3467
30"He will deliver^H4422 one who is not innocent,^H9345 And he will be delivered^H4422 through the cleanness^H1252 of your hands.^H3709"
