Job 22

KJV

1  Then Eliphaz464 the Temanite8489 answered6030 and said,559

2  Can a man1397 be profitable5532 unto God,410 as he that3588 is wise7919 may be profitable5532 unto5921 himself?

3  Is it any pleasure2656 to the Almighty,7706 that3588 thou art righteous?6663 or518 is it gain1215 to him, that3588 thou makest thy ways perfect?8552 1870

4  Will he reprove3198 thee for fear4480 3374 of thee? will he enter935 with5973 thee into judgment?4941

5  Is not3808 thy wickedness7451 great?7227 and thine iniquities5771 infinite?369 7093

6  For3588 thou hast taken a pledge2254 from thy brother251 for naught,2600 and stripped6584 the naked6174 of their clothing.899

7  Thou hast not3808 given water4325 to the weary5889 to drink,8248 and thou hast withheld4513 bread3899 from the hungry.4480 7457

8  But as for the mighty2220 man,376 he had the earth;776 and the honorable man5375 6440 dwelt3427 in it.

9  Thou hast sent widows away7971 490 empty,7387 and the arms2220 of the fatherless3490 have been broken.1792

10  Therefore5921 3651 snares6341 are round about5439 thee, and sudden6597 fear6343 troubleth926 thee;

11  Or176 darkness,2822 that thou canst not3808 see;7200 and abundance8229 of waters4325 cover3680 thee.

12  Is not3808 God433 in the height1363 of heaven?8064 and behold7200 the height7218 of the stars,3556 how3588 high they are!7311

13  And thou sayest,559 How4100 doth God410 know?3045 can he judge8199 through1157 the dark cloud?6205

14  Thick clouds5645 are a covering5643 to him, that he seeth7200 not;3808 and he walketh1980 in the circuit2329 of heaven.8064

15  Hast thou marked8104 the old5769 way734 which834 wicked205 men4962 have trodden?1869

16  Which834 were cut down7059 out of3808 time,6256 whose foundation3247 was overflown3332 with a flood:5104

17  Which said559 unto God,410 Depart5493 from4480 us: and what4100 can the Almighty7706 do6466 for them?

18  Yet he1931 filled4390 their houses1004 with good2896 things: but the counsel6098 of the wicked7563 is far7368 from4480 me.

19  The righteous6662 see7200 it, and are glad:8055 and the innocent5355 laugh them to scorn.3932

20  Whereas518 our substance7009 is not3808 cut down,3582 but the remnant3499 of them the fire784 consumeth.398

21  Acquaint5532 now4994 thyself with5973 him, and be at peace:7999 thereby good2896 shall come935 unto thee.

22  Receive,3947 I pray thee,4994 the law8451 from his mouth,4480 6310 and lay up7760 his words561 in thine heart.3824

23  If518 thou return7725 to5704 the Almighty,7706 thou shalt be built up,1129 thou shalt put away iniquity5766 far7368 from thy tabernacles.4480 168

24  Then shalt thou lay up7896 gold1220 as5921 dust,6083 and the gold of Ophir211 as the stones6697 of the brooks.5158

25  Yea, the Almighty7706 shall be1961 thy defense,1220 and thou shalt have plenty8443 of silver.3701

26  For3588 then227 shalt thou have thy delight6026 in5921 the Almighty,7706 and shalt lift up5375 thy face6440 unto413 God.433

27  Thou shalt make thy prayer6279 unto413 him, and he shall hear8085 thee, and thou shalt pay7999 thy vows.5088

28  Thou shalt also decree1504 a thing,562 and it shall be established6965 unto thee: and the light216 shall shine5050 upon5921 thy ways.1870

29  When3588 men are cast down,8213 then thou shalt say,559 There is lifting up;1466 and he shall save3467 the humble person.7807 5869

30  He shall deliver4422 the island336 of the innocent:5355 and it is delivered4422 by the pureness1252 of thine hands.3709

1 ὑπολαβὼν δὲ Ελιφας ὁ Θαιμανίτης λέγει

2 πότερον οὐχὶ ὁ κύριός ἐστιν ὁ διδάσκων σύνεσιν καὶ ἐπιστήμην

3 τί γὰρ μέλει τῷ κυρίῳ ἐὰν σὺ ἦσθα τοῖς ἔργοις ἄμεμπτος ἢ ὠφέλεια ὅτι ἁπλώσῃς τὴν ὁδόν σου

4 ἦ λόγον σου ποιούμενος ἐλέγξει σε καὶ συνεισελεύσεταί σοι εἰς κρίσιν

5 πότερον οὐχ ἡ κακία σού ἐστιν πολλή ἀναρίθμητοι δέ σού εἰσιν αἱ ἁμαρτίαι

6 ἠνεχύραζες δὲ τοὺς ἀδελφούς σου διὰ κενῆς ἀμφίασιν δὲ γυμνῶν ἀφείλου

7 οὐδὲ ὕδωρ διψῶντας ἐπότισας ἀλλὰ πεινώντων ἐστέρησας ψωμόν

8 ἐθαύμασας δέ τινων πρόσωπον ᾤκισας δὲ τοὺς ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς

9 χήρας δὲ ἐξαπέστειλας κενάς ὀρφανοὺς δὲ ἐκάκωσας

10 τοιγαροῦν ἐκύκλωσάν σε παγίδες καὶ ἐσπούδασέν σε πόλεμος ἐξαίσιος

11 τὸ φῶς σοι σκότος ἀπέβη κοιμηθέντα δὲ ὕδωρ σε ἐκάλυψεν

12 μὴ οὐχὶ ὁ τὰ ὑψηλὰ ναίων ἐφορᾷ τοὺς δὲ ὕβρει φερομένους ἐταπείνωσεν

13 καὶ εἶπας τί ἔγνω ὁ ἰσχυρός ἦ κατὰ τοῦ γνόφου κρινεῖ

14 νέφη ἀποκρυφὴ αὐτοῦ καὶ οὐχ ὁραθήσεται καὶ γῦρον οὐρανοῦ διαπορεύσεται

15 μὴ τρίβον αἰώνιον φυλάξεις ἣν ἐπάτησαν ἄνδρες ἄδικοι

16 οἳ συνελήμφθησαν ἄωροι ποταμὸς ἐπιρρέων οἱ θεμέλιοι αὐτῶν

17 οἱ λέγοντες κύριος τί ποιήσει ἡμῖν ἢ τί ἐπάξεται ἡμῖν ὁ παντοκράτωρ

18 ὃς δὲ ἐνέπλησεν τοὺς οἴκους αὐτῶν ἀγαθῶν βουλὴ δὲ ἀσεβῶν πόρρω ἀπ᾽ αὐτοῦ

19 ἰδόντες δίκαιοι ἐγέλασαν ἄμεμπτος δὲ ἐμυκτήρισεν

20 εἰ μὴ ἠφανίσθη ἡ ὑπόστασις αὐτῶν καὶ τὸ κατάλειμμα αὐτῶν καταφάγεται πῦρ

21 γενοῦ δὴ σκληρός ἐὰν ὑπομείνῃς εἶτ᾽ ὁ καρπός σου ἔσται ἐν ἀγαθοῖς

22 ἔκλαβε δὲ ἐκ στόματος αὐτοῦ ἐξηγορίαν καὶ ἀνάλαβε τὰ ῥήματα αὐτοῦ ἐν καρδίᾳ σου

23 ἐὰν δὲ ἐπιστραφῇς καὶ ταπεινώσῃς σεαυτὸν ἔναντι κυρίου πόρρω ἐποίησας ἀπὸ διαίτης σου τὸ ἄδικον

24 θήσῃ ἐπὶ χώματι ἐν πέτρᾳ καὶ ὡς πέτρᾳ χειμάρρους Ωφιρ

25 ἔσται οὖν σου ὁ παντοκράτωρ βοηθὸς ἀπὸ ἐχθρῶν καθαρὸν δὲ ἀποδώσει σε ὥσπερ ἀργύριον πεπυρωμένον

26 εἶτα παρρησιασθήσῃ ἔναντι κυρίου ἀναβλέψας εἰς τὸν οὐρανὸν ἱλαρῶς

27 εὐξαμένου δέ σου πρὸς αὐτὸν εἰσακούσεταί σου δώσει δέ σοι ἀποδοῦναι τὰς εὐχάς

28 ἀποκαταστήσει δέ σοι δίαιταν δικαιοσύνης ἐπὶ δὲ ὁδοῖς σου ἔσται φέγγος

29 ὅτι ἐταπείνωσεν αὐτόν καὶ ἐρεῖς ὑπερηφανεύσατο καὶ κύφοντα ὀφθαλμοῖς σώσει

30 ῥύσεται ἀθῷον καὶ διασώθητι ἐν καθαραῖς χερσίν σου

Vul

1 Respondens autem Eliphaz Themanites, dixit:

2 [Numquid Deo potest comparari homo,
etiam cum perfectæ fuerit scientiæ?

3 Quid prodest Deo, si justus fueris?
aut quid ei confers, si immaculata fuerit via tua?

4 Numquid timens arguet te,
et veniet tecum in judicium,

5 et non propter malitiam tuam plurimam,
et infinitas iniquitates tuas?

6 Abstulisti enim pignus fratrum tuorum sine causa,
et nudos spoliasti vestibus.

7 Aquam lasso non dedisti,
et esurienti subtraxisti panem.

8 In fortitudine brachii tui possidebas terram,
et potentissimus obtinebas eam.

9 Viduas dimisisti vacuas,
et lacertos pupillorum comminuisti.

10 Propterea circumdatus es laqueis,
et conturbat te formido subita.

11 Et putabas te tenebras non visurum,
et impetu aquarum inundantium non oppressum iri?

12 an non cogitas quod Deus excelsior cælo sit,
et super stellarum verticem sublimetur?

13 Et dicis: Quid enim novit Deus?
et quasi per caliginem judicat.

14 Nubes latibulum ejus, nec nostra considerat,
et circa cardines cæli perambulat.

15 Numquid semitam sæculorum custodire cupis,
quam calcaverunt viri iniqui,

16 qui sublati sunt ante tempus suum,
et fluvius subvertit fundamentum eorum?

17 Qui dicebant Deo: Recede a nobis:
et quasi nihil posset facere Omnipotens, æstimabant eum,

18 cum ille implesset domos eorum bonis:
quorum sententia procul sit a me.

19 Videbunt justi, et lætabuntur,
et innocens subsannabit eos:

20 nonne succisa est erectio eorum?
et reliquias eorum devoravit ignis?

21 Acquiesce igitur ei, et habeto pacem,
et per hæc habebis fructus optimos.

22 Suscipe ex ore illius legem,
et pone sermones ejus in corde tuo.

23 Si reversus fueris ad Omnipotentem, ædificaberis,
et longe facies iniquitatem a tabernaculo tuo.

24 Dabit pro terra silicem,
et pro silice torrentes aureos.

25 Eritque Omnipotens contra hostes tuos,
et argentum coacervabitur tibi.

26 Tunc super Omnipotentem deliciis afflues,
et elevabis ad Deum faciem tuam.

27 Rogabis eum, et exaudiet te,
et vota tua reddes.

28 Decernes rem, et veniet tibi,
et in viis tuis splendebit lumen.

29 Qui enim humiliatus fuerit, erit in gloria,
et qui inclinaverit oculos, ipse salvabitur.

30 Salvabitur innocens:
salvabitur autem in munditia manuum suarum.]
