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}

Their bullH7794 genderethH5674, and failethH1602 not; their cowH6510 calvethH6403, and casteth not her calfH7921.
There be manyH7227 that sayH559, Who will shewH7200 us any goodH2896? LORDH3068, lift thou upH5375 the lightH216 of thy countenanceH6440 upon us.
Therefore they sayH559 unto GodH410, DepartH5493 from us; for we desireH2654 not the knowledgeH1847 of thy waysH1870.
Ye have saidH559, It is vainH7723 to serveH5647 GodH430: and what profitH1215 is it that we have keptH8104 his ordinanceH4931, and that we have walkedH1980 mournfullyH6941 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635? {ordinance: Heb. observation} {mournfully: Heb. in black}
What is the AlmightyH7706, that we should serveH5647 him? and what profitH3276 should we have, if we prayH6293 unto him?
Get you outH5493 of the wayH1870, turn asideH5186 out of the pathH734, cause the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478 to ceaseH7673 from beforeH6440 us.
AndG2532, beholdG2400, they cried outG2896, sayingG3004, WhatG5101 have weG2254 to do withG2532 theeG4671, JesusG2424, thou SonG5207 of GodG2316? art thou comeG2064 hitherG5602 to tormentG928 usG2248 beforeG4253 the timeG2540?
AndG2532, beholdG2400, the wholeG3956 cityG4172 came outG1831 toG1519 meetG4877 JesusG2424: andG2532 when they sawG1492 himG846, they besoughtG3870 him thatG3704 he would departG3327 out ofG575 theirG846 coastsG3725.
AndG2532 even asG2531 they didG1381 notG3756 likeG1381 to retainG2192 GodG2316 inG1722 their knowledgeG1922, GodG2316 gaveG3860 themG846 overG3860 toG1519 a reprobateG96 mindG3563, to doG4160 those things which areG2520 notG3361 convenientG2520; {to retain: or, to acknowledge} {a reprobate…: or, a mind void of judgment or, an unapproving mind}
