Eliphaz Speaks: Job’s Wickedness Is Great

1Then 22:1 ch. 2:11Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said:

222:2 See ch. 35:7“Can a man be profitable to God?

Surely he who is wise is profitable to himself.

3Is it any pleasure to the Almighty if you are in the right,

or is it gain to him if you 22:3 See Ps. 18:32make your ways blameless?

4Is it for your fear of him that he reproves you

and 22:4 ch. 14:3; [Ps. 143:2]enters into judgment with you?

5Is not your evil abundant?

There is no end to your iniquities.

6For you have 22:6 ch. 24:3, 9; Ex. 22:26; Deut. 24:6, 17; Ezek. 18:12, 16exacted pledges of your brothers for nothing

22:6 [ch. 31:16]and stripped the naked of their clothing.

7You have given no water to the weary to drink,

and you have 22:7 [ch. 31:17; Isa. 58:7; Ezek. 18:7, 16; Matt. 25:42]withheld bread from the hungry.

822:8 [ch. 35:9] The man with power possessed the land,

and 22:8 2 Kgs. 5:1; Isa. 9:15the favored man lived in it.

9You have 22:9 [Luke 1:53] sent widows away empty,

and 22:9 [ch. 38:15] the arms of 22:9 ch. 31:21; Isa. 10:2; Ezek. 22:7the fatherless were crushed.

10Therefore 22:10 ch. 18:8-10snares are all around you,

and sudden terror overwhelms you,

11or 22:11 [Ex. 10:22, 23] darkness, so that you cannot see,

and a 22:11 ch. 38:34flood of 22:11 [ch. 27:20; Ps. 69:1, 2, 14, 15; 124:5; Lam. 3:54; Jonah 2:3, 5]water covers you.

12“Is not God high in the heavens?

See 22:12 [ch. 11:8]the highest stars, how lofty they are!

13But you say, 22:13 Ps. 73:11; [Ps. 10:11; 59:7; 64:5; 94:7; Isa. 29:15; Ezek. 8:12; 9:9] ‘What does God know?

Can he judge through 22:13 ch. 38:9the deep darkness?

1422:14 [Ps. 139:11, 12]; [Prov. 8:27; Isa. 40:22]Thick clouds veil him, so that he does not see,

and he walks on the vault of heaven.’

15Will you keep to the old way

that wicked men have trod?

16They were snatched away 22:16 See ch. 15:32before their time;

their foundation was washed away.22:16 Or their foundation was poured out as a stream (or river)

17They said to God, 22:17 ch. 21:14‘Depart from us,’

and 22:17 [Ps. 4:6]‘What can the Almighty do to us?’22:17 Hebrew them

18Yet he filled their houses with good things—

but 22:18 ch. 21:16the counsel of the wicked is far from me.

1922:19 Ps. 52:6; 58:10; 107:42; [Ps. 64:10] The righteous see it and are glad;

the innocent one 22:19 Ps. 2:4mocks at them,

20saying, ‘Surely our adversaries are cut off,

and what they left 22:20 ch. 1:16the fire has consumed.’

2122:21 See Ps. 119:45“Agree with God, and 22:21 [Prov. 3:2]be at peace;

thereby good will come to you.

22Receive instruction from 22:22 Prov. 2:6; [Mal. 2:7] his mouth,

and 22:22 Ps. 119:11lay up his words in your heart.

23If you 22:23 [ch. 8:5, 6; 11:13, 14; Mal. 3:7] return to the Almighty you will be 22:23 Jer. 24:6; 33:7built up;

if you 22:23 ch. 11:14remove injustice far from your tents,

24if you lay gold in 22:24 ch. 20:11; 21:26the dust,

and gold of 22:24 See 1 Kgs. 9:28Ophir among the stones of the torrent-bed,

25then the Almighty will be your gold

and your precious silver.

26For then you 22:26 ch. 27:10; Ps. 37:4; Isa. 58:14will delight yourself in the Almighty

and 22:26 See ch. 11:15lift up your face to God.

27You will 22:27 ch. 33:26; Ps. 50:14, 15; Isa. 58:9make your prayer to him, and he will hear you,

and you will 22:27 Ps. 50:14pay your vows.

28You will decide on a matter, and it will be established for you,

and 22:28 Prov. 4:18light will shine on your ways.

29For when they are humbled you say, ‘It is because of pride’;22:29 Or you say, ‘It is exaltation’

but he saves 22:29 Ps. 138:6; Prov. 3:34; 29:23; Matt. 23:12; Luke 1:52; James 4:6; 1 Pet. 5:5the lowly.

30He 22:30 [Gen. 18:26] delivers even the one who is not innocent,

who will be delivered through 22:30 ch. 17:9; Ps. 18:20, 24; 24:4; 26:6; [ch. 9:30]the cleanness of your hands.”
