Can a man be profitable unto God? Surely he that is wise is profitable unto himself.

Thou hast sent widows away empty, And the arms of the fatherless have been broken.

But as for the mighty man, he had the earth; And the honorable man, he dwelt in it.

Is it for thy fear `of him' that he reproveth thee, That he entereth with thee into judgment?

Thou hast not given water to the weary to drink, And thou hast withholden bread from the hungry.

Is not thy wickedness great? Neither is there any end to thine iniquities.

Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite, and said,

For thou hast taken pledges of thy brother for nought, And stripped the naked of their clothing.

Is it any pleasure to the Almighty, that thou art righteous? Or is it gain `to him', that thou makest thy ways perfect?

Therefore snares are round about thee, And sudden fear troubleth thee,

And thou sayest, What doth God know? Can he judge through the thick darkness?

Is not God in the height of heaven? And behold the height of the stars, how high they are!

`Saying', Surely they that did rise up against us are cut off, And the remnant of them the fire hath consumed.

Wilt thou keep the old way Which wicked men have trodden?

If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up, If thou put away unrighteousness far from thy tents.

Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: Thereby good shall come unto thee.

Yet he filled their houses with good things: But the counsel of the wicked is far from me.

Receive, I pray thee, the law from his mouth, And lay up his words in thy heart.

Or darkness, so that thou canst not see, And abundance of waters cover thee.

The righteous see it, and are glad; And the innocent laugh them to scorn,

And the Almighty will be thy treasure, And precious silver unto thee.

And lay thou thy' treasure in the dust, And the gold of' Ophir among the stones of the brooks;

Who were snatched away before their time, Whose foundation was poured out as a stream,

Who said unto God, Depart from us; And, What can the Almighty do for us?

Thick clouds are a covering to him, so that he seeth not; And he walketh on the vault of heaven.

For then shalt thou delight thyself in the Almighty, And shalt lift up thy face unto God.

He will deliver `even' him that is not innocent: Yea, he shall be delivered through the cleanness of thy hands.

Thou shalt make thy prayer unto him, and he will hear thee; And thou shalt pay thy vows.

Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee; And light shall shine upon thy ways.

When they cast thee' down, thou shalt say, There is' lifting up; And the humble person he will save.
