THEN Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013868">2</a>. Can a man be profitable unto God, as he that is wise may be profitable unto himself?</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013869">3</a>. Is it any pleasure to the Almighty, that thou art righteous?  or is it gain to him, that thou makest thy ways perfect?</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013870">4</a>. Will he reprove thee for fear of thee?  will he enter with thee into judgment?</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013871">5</a>. Is not thy wickedness great?  and thine iniquities infinite?</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013872">6</a>. For thou hast taken a pledge from thy brother for nought, and stripped the naked of their clothing.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013873">7</a>. Thou hast not given water to the weary to drink, and thou hast withholden bread from the hungry.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013874">8</a>. But as for the mighty man, he had the earth; and the honourable man dwelt in it.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013875">9</a>. Thou hast sent widows away empty, and the arms of the fatherless have been broken.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013876">10</a>. Therefore snares are round about thee, and sudden fear troubleth thee;</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013877">11</a>. Or darkness, that thou canst not see; and abundance of waters cover thee.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013878">12</a>. Is not God in the height of heaven?  and behold the height of the stars, how high they are!</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013879">13</a>. And thou sayest, How doth God know?  can he judge through the dark cloud?</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013880">14</a>. Thick clouds are a covering to him, that he seeth not; and he walketh in the circuit of heaven.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013881">15</a>. Hast thou marked the old way which wicked men have trodden?</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013882">16</a>. Which were cut down out of time, whose foundation was overflown with a flood:</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013883">17</a>. Which said unto God, Depart from us: and what can the Almighty do for them?</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013884">18</a>. Yet he filled their houses with good things: but the counsel of the wicked is far from me.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013885">19</a>. The righteous see it, and are glad: and the innocent laugh them to scorn.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013886">20</a>. Whereas our substance is not cut down, but the remnant of them the fire consumeth.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013887">21</a>. Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013888">22</a>. Receive, I pray thee, the law from his mouth, and lay up his words in thine heart.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013889">23</a>. If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up, thou shalt put away iniquity far from thy tabernacles.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013890">24</a>. Then shalt thou lay up gold as dust, and the gold of Ophir as the stones of the brooks.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013891">25</a>. Yea, the Almighty shall be thy defence, and thou shalt have plenty of silver.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013892">26</a>. For then shalt thou have thy delight in the Almighty, and shalt lift up thy face unto God.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013893">27</a>. Thou shalt make thy prayer unto him, and he shall hear thee, and thou shalt pay thy vows.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013894">28</a>. Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013895">29</a>. When men are cast down, then thou shalt say, There is lifting up; and he shall save the humble person.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013896">30</a>. He shall deliver the island of the innocent: and it is delivered by the pureness of thine hands.</li>
