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

That the evil man is reserved to the day of calamity? That they are led forth to the day of wrath?

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

For ye say, Where is the house of the prince? And where is the tent wherein the wicked dwelt?

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

How then comfort ye me in vain, Seeing in your answers there remaineth `only' falsehood?

Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite, and said,

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

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

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

Have ye not asked wayfaring men? And do ye not know their evidences,

Yet shall he be borne to the grave, And men shall keep watch over the tomb.

Job 22

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

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

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

Who shall declare his way to his face? And who shall repay him what he hath done?

His pails are full of milk, And the marrow of his bones is moistened.

Behold, I know your thoughts, And the devices wherewith ye would wrong me.

They lie down alike in the dust, And the worm covereth them.

One dieth in his full strength, Being wholly at ease and quiet:

Let his own eyes see his destruction, And let him drink of the wrath of the Almighty.

That they are as stubble before the wind, And as chaff that the storm carrieth away?

How oft is it that the lamp of the wicked is put out? That their calamity cometh upon them? That `God' distributeth sorrows in his anger?

Shall any teach God knowledge, Seeing he judgeth those that are high?

`Ye say', God layeth up his iniquity for his children. Let him recompense it unto himself, that he may know it:

For what careth he for his house after him, When the number of his months is cut off?

Lo, their prosperity is not in their hand: The counsel of the wicked is far from me.

Their houses are safe from fear, Neither is the rod of God upon them.

Their seed is established with them in their sight, And their offspring before their eyes.
