## Text

[1] Then Eliphaz the Temanite replied: [2] “Can a man be of use to God?
Can even a wise man benefit Him? [3] Does it delight the Almighty that you are righteous?
Does He profit if your ways are blameless? [4] Is it for your reverence that He rebukes you
and enters into judgment against you? [5] Is not your wickedness great?
Are not your iniquities endless? [6] For you needlessly demanded security from your brothers
and deprived the naked of their clothing. [7] You gave no water to the weary
and withheld food from the famished, [8] while the land belonged to a mighty man,
and a man of honor lived on it. [9] You sent widows away empty-handed,
and the strength of the fatherless was crushed. [10] Therefore snares surround you,
and sudden peril terrifies you; [11] it is so dark you cannot see,
and a flood of water covers you. [12] Is not God as high as the heavens?
Look at the highest stars, how lofty they are! [13] Yet you say: ‘What does God know?
Does He judge through thick darkness? [14] Thick clouds veil Him so He does not see us
as He traverses the vault of heaven.’ [15] Will you stay on the ancient path
that wicked men have trod? [16] They were snatched away before their time,
and their foundations were swept away by a flood. [17] They said to God, ‘Depart from us.
What can the Almighty do to us?’ [18] But it was He who filled their houses with good things;
so I stay far from the counsel of the wicked. [19] The righteous see it and are glad;
the innocent mock them: [20] ‘Surely our foes are destroyed,
and fire has consumed their excess.’ [21] Reconcile now and be at peace with Him;
thereby good will come to you. [22] Receive instruction from His mouth,
and lay up His words in your heart. [23] If you return to the Almighty, you will be restored.
If you remove injustice from your tents [24] and consign your gold to the dust
and the gold of Ophir to the stones of the ravines, [25] then the Almighty will be your gold
and the finest silver for you. [26] Surely then you will delight in the Almighty
and lift up your face to God. [27] You will pray to Him, and He will hear you,
and you will fulfill your vows. [28] Your decisions will be carried out,
and light will shine on your ways. [29] When men are brought low and you say, ‘Lift them up!’
then He will save the lowly. [30] He will deliver even one who is not innocent,
rescuing him through the cleanness of your hands.”
