- Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered,
- "Can a man be profitable to God? Surely he who is wise is profitable to himself.
- Is it any pleasure to the Almighty, that you are righteous? Or does it benefit him, that you make your ways perfect?
- Is it for your piety that he reproves you, that he enters with you into judgment?
- Isn't your wickedness great? Neither is there any end to your iniquities.
- For you have taken pledges from your brother for nothing, and stripped the naked of their clothing.
- You haven't given water to the weary to drink, and you have withheld bread from the hungry.
- But as for the mighty man, he had the earth. The honorable man, he lived in it.
- You have sent widows away empty, and the arms of the fatherless have been broken.
- Therefore snares are around you. Sudden fear troubles you,
- or darkness, so that you can not see, and floods of waters cover you.
- "Isn't God in the heights of heaven? See the height of the stars, how high they are!
- You say, 'What does God know? Can he judge through the thick darkness?
- Thick clouds are a covering to him, so that he doesn't see. He walks on the vault of the sky.'
- Will you keep the old way, which wicked men have trodden,
- who were snatched away before their time, whose foundation was poured out as a stream,
- who said to God, 'Depart from us;' and, 'What can the Almighty do for us?'
- Yet he filled their houses with good things, but the counsel of the wicked is far from me.
- The righteous see it, and are glad. The innocent ridicule them,
- saying, 'Surely those who rose up against us are cut off. The fire has consumed the remnant of them.'
- "Acquaint yourself with him, now, and be at peace. Thereby good shall come to you.
- Please receive instruction from his mouth, and lay up his words in your heart.
- If you return to the Almighty, you shall be built up, if you put away unrighteousness far from your tents.
- Lay your treasure in the dust, the gold of Ophir among the stones of the brooks.
- The Almighty will be your treasure, and precious silver to you.
- For then you will delight yourself in the Almighty, and shall lift up your face to God.
- You shall make your prayer to him, and he will hear you. You shall pay your vows.
- You shall also decree a thing, and it shall be established to you. Light shall shine on your ways.
- When they cast down, you shall say, 'be lifted up.' He will save the humble person.
- He will even deliver him who is not innocent. Yes, he shall be delivered through the cleanness of your hands."

- ויען אליפז התמני ויאמר׃
- הלאל יסכן־גבר כי־יסכן עלימו משכיל׃
- החפץ לשדי כי תצדק ואם־בצע כי־תתם דרכיך׃
- המיראתך יכיחך יבוא עמך במשפט׃
- הלא רעתך רבה ואין־קץ לעונתיך׃
- כי־תחבל אחיך חנם ובגדי ערומים תפשיט׃
- לא־מים עיף תשקה ומרעב תמנע־לחם׃
- ואיש זרוע לו הארץ ונשוא פנים ישב בה׃
- אלמנות שלחת ריקם וזרעות יתמים ידכא׃
- על־כן סביבותיך פחים ויבהלך פחד פתאם׃
- או־חשך לא־תראה ושפעת־מים תכסך׃
- הלא־אלוה גבה שמים וראה ראש כוכבים כי־רמו׃
- ואמרת מה־ידע אל הבעד ערפל ישפוט׃
- עבים סתר־לו ולא יראה וחוג שמים יתהלך׃
- הארח עולם תשמר אשר דרכו מתי־און׃
- אשר־קמטו ולא־עת נהר יוצק יסודם׃
- האמרים לאל סור ממנו ומה־יפעל שדי למו׃
- והוא מלא בתיהם טוב ועצת רשעים רחקה מני׃
- יראו צדיקים וישמחו ונקי ילעג־למו׃
- אם־לא נכחד קימנו ויתרם אכלה אש׃
- הסכן־נא עמו ושלם בהם תבואתכ טובה׃
- קח־נא מפיו תורה ושים אמריו בלבבך׃
- אם־תשוב עד־שדי תבנה תרחיק עולה מאהלך׃
- ושית־על־עפר בצר ובצור נחלים אופיר׃
- והיה שדי בצריך וכסף תועפות לך׃
- כי־אז על־שדי תתענג ותשא אל־אלוה פניך׃
- תעתיר אליו וישמעך ונדריך תשלם׃
- ותגזר־אומר ויקם לך ועל־דרכיך נגה אור׃
- כי־השפילו ותאמר גוה ושח עינים יושע׃
- ימלט אי־נקי ונמלט בבר כפיך׃ ף

| Job 22 Text (Latin)

- Respondens autem Eliphaz Themanites, dixit :
- Numquid Deo potest comparari homo, etiam cum perfectæ fuerit scientiæ ?
- Qui prodest Deo, si justus fueris ? aut quid ei confers, si immaculata fuerit via tua ?
- Numquid timens arguet te, et veniet tecum in judicium ?
- Et non propter malitiam tuam plurimam, et infinitas iniquitates tuas ?
- Abstulisti enim pignus fratrum tuorum sine causa, et nudos spoliasti vestibus.
- Aquam lasso non dedisti, et esurienti subtraxisti panem.
- In fortitudine brachii tui possidebas terram, et potentissimus obtinebas eam.
- Viduas dimisisti vacuas, et lacertos pupillorum comminuisti.
- Propterea circumdatus es laqueis, et conturbat te formido subita.
- Et putabas te tenebras non visurum, et impetu aquarum inundantium non oppressum iri.
- An non cogitas quod Deus excelsior cælo sit, et super stellarum verticem sublimetur ?
- Et dicis : Quid enim novit Deus ? et quasi per caliginem judicat.
- Nubes latibulum ejus, nec nostra considerat, et circa cardines cæli perambulat.
- Numquid semitam sæculorum custodire cupis, quam calcaverunt viri iniqui,
- qui sublati sunt ante tempus suum, et fluvius subvertit fundamentum eorum ?
- qui dicebant Deo : Recede a nobis : et quasi nihil posset facere Omnipotens, æstimabant eum,
- cum ille implesset domos eorum bonis ? quorum sententia procul sit a me !
- Videbunt justi, et lætabuntur, et innocens subsannabit eos :
- nonne succisa est erectio eorum ? et reliquias eorum devoravit ignis ?
- Acquiesce igitur ei, et habeto pacem, et per hæc habebis fructus optimos.
- Suscipe ex ore illius legem, et pone sermones ejus in corde tuo.
- Si reversus fueris ad Omnipotentem, ædificaberis, et longe facies iniquitatem a tabernaculo tuo.
- Dabit pro terra silicem, et pro silice torrentes aureos.
- Eritque Omnipotens contra hostes tuos, et argentum coacervabitur tibi.
- Tunc super Omnipotentem deliciis afflues, et elevabis ad Deum faciem tuam.
- Rogabis eum, et exaudiet te, et vota tua reddes.
- Decernes rem, et veniet tibi, et in viis tuis splendebit lumen.
- Qui enim humiliatus fuerit, erit in gloria, et qui inclinaverit oculos, ipse salvabitur.
- Salvabitur innocens : salvabitur autem in munditia manuum suarum.

| Job 22 Text (KJV)

- Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,
- Can a man be profitable unto God, as he that is wise may be profitable unto himself?
- Is it any pleasure to the Almighty, that thou art righteous? or is it gain to him that thou makest thy ways perfect?
- Will he reprove thee for fear of thee? will he enter with thee into judgment?
- Is not thy wickedness great? and thine iniquities infinite?
- For thou hast taken a pledge from thy brother for nought, and stripped the naked of their clothing.
- Thou hast not given water to the weary to drink, and thou hast withholden bread from the hungry.
- But as for the mighty man, he had the earth; and the honourable man dwelt in it.
- Thou has sent widows away empty, and the arms of the fatherless have been broken.
- Therefore snares are round about thee, and sudden fear troubleth thee;
- Or darkness, that thou canst not see; and abundance of waters cover thee.
- Is not God in the height of heaven? and behold the height of the stars, how high they are!
- And thou sayest, How doth God know? can he judge through the dark cloud?
- Thick clouds are a covering to him, that he seeth not; and he walketh in the circuit of heaven.
- Hast thou marked the old way which wicked men have trodden?
- Which were cut down out of time, whose foundation was overflown with a flood:
- Which said unto God, Depart from us: and what can the Almighty do for them?
- Yet he filled their houses with good things: but the counsel of the wicked is far from me.
- The righteous see it, and are glad: and the innocent laugh them to scorn.
- Whereas our substance is not cut down, but the remnant of them the fire consumeth.
- Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee.
- Receive, I pray thee, the law from his mouth, and lay up his words in thine heart.
- If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up, thou shalt put away iniquity far from thy tabernacles.
- Then shalt thou lay up gold as dust, and the gold of Ophir as the stones of the brooks.
- Yea, the Almighty shall be thy defence, and thou shalt have plenty of silver.
- For then shalt thou have thy delight in the Almighty, and shalt lift up thy face unto God.
- Thou shalt make thy prayer unto him, and he shall hear thee, and thou shalt pay thy vows.
- Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways.
- When men are cast down, then thou shalt say, There is lifting up; and he shall save the humble person.
- He shall deliver the island of the innocent: and it is delivered by the pureness of thine hands.
