ABP - Job - 22

22:1  And undertaking, Eliphaz the Temanite says,

22:2  Is it not the lord that is the one teaching understanding and higher knowledge?

22:3  For what does it concern the lord if you were [2in works 1blameless], or what benefit that you simplify your way?

22:4  or [2your word 1making] will he reprove you? and will he enter together with you for judgment?

22:5  Is it not that your evil is much, [5innumerable 1and 2your 4are 3sins]?

22:6  And you took security of your brethren without cause, [3clothing 1and 4of the naked 2you removed].

22:7  Nor [2water 4for the thirsting 1did you give 3to drink], and [3of ones hungering 1you deprived 2a morsel].

22:8  And you admired the faces of some; you resettled the poor upon the earth;

22:9  [3widows 1and 2you sent out] empty, [3on orphans 1and 2you inflicted evil].

22:10  Accordingly [2encircled 3you 1snares], and [3hurried 4you 2war 1an extraordinary].

22:11  The light [3for you 2darkness 1resulted in]; and in going to sleep water covered you.

22:12  Is it not that the one [2the 3high places 1inhabiting] inspects? [3the ones 1and 5insolence 4bearing 2he humbled]?

22:13  And you said, What does [3know 1the 2mighty one]? or [2in 3the 4dark 1does he judge]?

22:14  A cloud is his concealment, and he shall not be seen; and the curve of heaven he travels over.

22:15  [2not 5road 4the eternal 1Will you 3guard] which [3trod 2men 1unjust]?

22:16  The ones who were seized untimely are as a river overflowing their foundations.

22:17  The ones saying, The lord, what will he do to us? or what will [3bring upon 4us 1the 2almighty]?

22:18  And he is the one who filled up their houses with good things; but the counsel of the impious is at a distance from him.

22:19  In beholding, the just laugh; and the blameless one sneers at them.

22:20  Except [2vanished 1their support], and [3their vestige 2shall devour 1fire].

22:21  Become firm indeed! if you should remain, so that your fruit will be for good things.

22:22  And take [2from out of 3his mouth 1an utterance]! and take up his sayings in your heart!

22:23  And if you should turn and humble yourself before the lord, [3to be a distance 1then you made 4from 5your habitation 2wrongdoing].

22:24  You shall put upon an embankment in rock, even as a rock of a rushing stream of Ophir.

22:25  [4will be 1Then 5your 2the 3almighty] helper from the enemies, [4clean 1and 2he will render 3you] as [2silver 1purified].

22:26  So then, you shall speak openly before the lord, looking up into the heaven happily.

22:27  [3vowing 1And 2of your] to him, he will listen to you; and he will give to you power to render the vows.

22:28  And he will restore to you a habitation of righteousness, and upon your ways will be brightness.

22:29  For one humbled himself; and you shall say, He is prideful, but the one having downcast eyes, he shall deliver.

22:30  He shall rescue the innocent; but be delivered in [2cleanness 3of hands 1your]!
