| 1 | Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered, and said, |
| 2 | Can a man be profitable vnto God? as hee that is wise may be profitable vnto himselfe. |
| 3 | Is it any pleasure to the Almighty, that thou art righteous? or is it gaine to him, that thou makest thy waies perfite? |
| 4 | Will hee reproue thee for feare of thee? will he enter with thee into iudgment? |
| 5 | Is not thy wickednesse great? and thine iniquities infinite? |
| 6 | For thou hast taken a pledge from thy brother for nought, and stripped the naked of their clothing. |
| 7 | Thou hast not giuen water to the wearie to drinke, and thou hast withholden bread from the hungry. |
| 8 | But as for the mightie man, hee had the earth, and the honourable man dwelt in it. |
| 9 | Thou hast sent widowes away emptie, and the armes of the fatherlesse haue bene broken. |
| 10 | Therefore snares are round about thee, and sudden feare troubleth thee, |
| 11 | Or darkenes that thou canst not see, and abundance of waters couer thee. |
| 12 | Is not God in the height of heauen? and behold the height of the starres how high they are. |
| 13 | And thou sayest, How doth God know? can he iudge through the darke cloude? |
| 14 | Thicke cloudes are a couering to him that he seeth not, and hee walketh in the circuit of heauen. |
| 15 | Hast thou marked the olde way which wicked men haue troden? |
| 16 | Which were cut downe out of time, whose foundation was ouerflowen with a flood. |
| 17 | Which said vnto God, Depart from vs, and what can the Almightie doe for them? |
| 18 | Yet he filled their houses with good things: but the counsell of the wicked is farre from me. |
| 19 | The righteous see it, and are glad, and the innocent laugh them to scorne. |
| 20 | Whereas our substance is not cut downe, but the remnant of them the fire consumeth. |
| 21 | Acquaint now thy selfe with him, and be at peace: thereby good shal come vnto thee. |
| 22 | Receiue, I pray thee, the Lawe from his mouth, and lay vp his words in thine heart. |
| 23 | If thou returne to the Almightie, thou shalt be built vp, thou shalt put away iniquitie farre from thy tabernacles. |
| 24 | Then shalt thou lay vp golde as dust, and the gold of Ophir as the stones of the brookes. |
| 25 | Yea the Almightie shall bee thy defence, and thou shalt haue plenty of siluer. |
| 26 | For then shalt thou haue thy delight in the Almightie, and shalt lift vp thy face vnto God. |
| 27 | Thou shalt make thy prayer vnto him, and he shall heare thee, and thou shalt pay thy vowes. |
| 28 | Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shal be established vnto thee: and the light shall shine vpon thy wayes. |
| 29 | When men are cast downe, then thou shalt say, There is lifting vp: and he shall saue the humble person. |
| 30 | He shall deliuer the Iland of the innocent: and it is deliuered by the purenesse of thine hands. |
