Then EliphazH464 the TemaniteH8489 answeredH6030 and saidH559,
Can a manH1397 be profitableH5532 unto GodH410, asH3588 he that is wiseH7919 may be profitableH5532 unto himself? {as he…: or, if he may be profitable, doth his good success depend thereon?}
Is it any pleasureH2656 to the AlmightyH7706, that thou art righteousH6663? or is it gainH1215 to him, that thou makest thy waysH1870 perfectH8552?
Will he reproveH3198 thee for fearH3374 of thee? will he enterH935 with thee into judgmentH4941?
Is not thy wickednessH7451 greatH7227? and thine iniquitiesH5771 infiniteH7093?
For thou hast taken a pledgeH2254 from thy brotherH251 for noughtH2600, and strippedH6584 the nakedH6174 of their clothingH899. {the naked…: Heb. the clothes of the naked}
Thou hast not given waterH4325 to the wearyH5889 to drinkH8248, and thou hast withholdenH4513 breadH3899 from the hungryH7457.
But as for the mightyH2220 manH376, he had the earthH776; and the honourable manH5375+H6440 dweltH3427 in it. {mighty…: Heb. man of arm} {honourable…: Heb. eminent, or, accepted for countenance}
Thou hast sentH7971 widowsH490 away emptyH7387, and the armsH2220 of the fatherlessH3490 have been brokenH1792.
Therefore snaresH6341 are round aboutH5439 thee, and suddenH6597 fearH6343 troublethH926 thee;
Or darknessH2822, that thou canst not seeH7200; and abundanceH8229 of watersH4325 coverH3680 thee.
Is not GodH433 in the heightH1363 of heavenH8064? and beholdH7200 the heightH7218 of the starsH3556, how highH7311 they are! {height of the stars: Heb. head of the stars}
And thou sayestH559, How doth GodH410 knowH3045? can he judgeH8199 through the dark cloudH6205? {How: or, What}
Thick cloudsH5645 are a coveringH5643 to him, that he seethH7200 not; and he walkethH1980 in the circuitH2329 of heavenH8064.
Hast thou markedH8104 the oldH5769 wayH734 which wickedH205 menH4962 have troddenH1869?
Which were cut downH7059 out of timeH6256, whose foundationH3247 was overflownH3332 with a floodH5104: {whose…: Heb. a flood was poured upon their foundation}
Which saidH559 unto GodH410, DepartH5493 from us: and what can the AlmightyH7706 doH6466 for them? {for: or, to}
Yet he filledH4390 their housesH1004 with goodH2896 things: but the counselH6098 of the wickedH7563 is farH7368 from me.
The righteousH6662 seeH7200 it, and are gladH8055: and the innocentH5355 laugh them to scornH3932.
WhereasH518 our substanceH7009 is not cut downH3582, but the remnantH3499 of them the fireH784 consumethH398. {substance: or, estate} {the remnant…: or, their excellency}
AcquaintH5532 now thyself with him, and be at peaceH7999: thereby goodH2896 shall comeH935 unto thee. {him: that is, God}
ReceiveH3947, I pray thee, the lawH8451 from his mouthH6310, and lay upH7760 his wordsH561 in thine heartH3824.
If thou returnH7725 to the AlmightyH7706, thou shalt be built upH1129, thou shalt put awayH7368 iniquityH5766 farH7368 from thy tabernaclesH168.
Then shalt thou lay upH7896 goldH1220 asH5921 dustH6083, and the gold of OphirH211 as the stonesH6697 of the brooksH5158. {as dust: or, on the dust}
Yea, the AlmightyH7706 shall be thy defenceH1220, and thou shalt have plentyH8443 of silverH3701. {defence: or, gold} {plenty…: Heb. silver of strength}
For then shalt thou have thy delightH6026 in the AlmightyH7706, and shalt lift upH5375 thy faceH6440 unto GodH433.
Thou shalt make thy prayerH6279 unto him, and he shall hearH8085 thee, and thou shalt payH7999 thy vowsH5088.
Thou shalt also decreeH1504 a thingH562, and it shall be establishedH6965 unto thee: and the lightH216 shall shineH5050 upon thy waysH1870.
When men are cast downH8213, then thou shalt sayH559, There is lifting upH1466; and he shall saveH3467 the humbleH7807 personH5869. {the humble…: Heb. him that hath low eyes}
He shall deliverH4422 the islandH336 of the innocentH5355: and it is deliveredH4422 by the purenessH1252 of thine handsH3709. {He shall…: or, The innocent shall deliver the island}

It shall be accomplishedH4390 beforeH3808 his timeH3117, and his branchH3712 shall not be greenH7488. {accomplished: or, cut off}
InH8141 the sixH8337 hundredthH3967 yearH8141 of Noah'sH5146 lifeH2416, in the secondH8145 monthH2320, the seventeenthH7651+H6240 dayH3117 of the monthH2320, the sameH2088 dayH3117 were all the fountainsH4599 of the greatH7227 deepH8415 broken upH1234, and the windowsH699 of heavenH8064 were openedH6605. {windows: or, floodgates}
But thou, O GodH430, shalt bring them downH3381 into the pitH875 of destructionH7845: bloodyH1818 and deceitfulH4820 menH582 shall not live out halfH2673 their daysH3117; but I will trustH982 in thee. {bloody…: Heb. men of bloods and deceit} {shall…: Heb. shall not half their days}
And the floodH3999 was fortyH705 daysH3117 upon the earthH776; and the watersH4325 increasedH7235, and bare upH5375 the arkH8392, and it was lift upH7311 above the earthH776.
And the watersH4325 prevailedH1396, and were increasedH7235 greatlyH3966 upon the earthH776; and the arkH8392 wentH3212 upon the faceH6440 of the watersH4325.
And the watersH4325 prevailedH1396 exceedinglyH3966+H3966 upon the earthH776; and all the highH1364 hillsH2022, that were underH8478 the whole heavenH8064, were coveredH3680.
FifteenH6240+H2568 cubitsH520 upwardH4605 did the watersH4325 prevailH1396; and the mountainsH2022 were coveredH3680.
And all fleshH1320 diedH1478 that movedH7430 upon the earthH776, both of fowlH5775, and of cattleH929, and of beastH2416, and of every creeping thingH8318 that creepethH8317 upon the earthH776, and every manH120:
All in whose nostrilsH639 was the breathH5397+H7307 of lifeH2416, of all that was in the dryH2724 land, diedH4191. {the breath…: Heb. the breath of the spirit of life}
And every living substanceH3351 was destroyedH4229 which was upon the faceH6440 of the groundH127, both manH120, and cattleH929, and the creeping thingsH7431, and the fowlH5775 of the heavenH8064; and they were destroyedH4229 from the earthH776: and NoahH5146 onlyH389 remainedH7604 alive, and they thatH834 were with him in the arkH8392.
And the watersH4325 prevailedH1396 upon the earthH776 an hundredH3967 and fiftyH2572 daysH3117.
I saidH559, O my GodH410, take me not awayH5927 in the midstH2677 of my daysH3117: thy yearsH8141 are throughout allH1755 generationsH1755.
ButG1161 asG5618 the daysG2250 of NoeG3575 were, soG3779 shallG2071 alsoG2532 the comingG3952 of the SonG5207 of manG444 beG2071.
ForG1063 asG5618 inG1722 the daysG2250 that wereG2258 beforeG4253 the floodG2627 they were eatingG5176 andG2532 drinkingG4095, marryingG1060 andG2532 giving in marriageG1547, untilG891 the dayG2250 thatG3739 NoeG3575 enteredG1525 intoG1519 the arkG2787,
AndG2532 knewG1097 notG3756 untilG2193 the floodG2627 cameG2064, andG2532 tookG142 them allG537 awayG142; soG3779 shallG2071 alsoG2532 the comingG3952 of the SonG5207 of manG444 beG2071.
Be not over muchH7235 wickedH7561, neither be thou foolishH5530: why shouldest thou dieH4191 before thy timeH6256? {before…: Heb. not in thy time?}
