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}

And thou, SolomonH8010 my sonH1121, knowH3045 thou the GodH430 of thy fatherH1, and serveH5647 him with a perfectH8003 heartH3820 and with a willingH2655 mindH5315: for the LORDH3068 searchethH1875 all heartsH3824, and understandethH995 all the imaginationsH3336 of the thoughtsH4284: if thou seekH1875 him, he will be foundH4672 of thee; but if thou forsakeH5800 him, he will cast thee offH2186 for everH5703.
Or let him take holdH2388 of my strengthH4581, that he may makeH6213 peaceH7965 with me; and he shall makeH6213 peaceH7965 with me.

I createH1254 the fruitH5108 of the lipsH8193; PeaceH7965, peaceH7965 to him that is far offH7350, and to him that is nearH7138, saithH559 the LORDH3068; and I will healH7495 him.
But the wickedH7563 are like the troubledH1644 seaH3220, when it cannotH3201 restH8252, whose watersH4325 cast upH1644 mireH7516 and dirtH2916.
There is no peaceH7965, saithH559 my GodH430, to the wickedH7563.
ForG3754 GodG2316, whoG3588 commandedG2036 the lightG5457 to shineG2989 out ofG1537 darknessG4655+G3739, hath shinedG2989 inG1722 ourG2257 heartsG2588, toG4314 give the lightG5462 of the knowledgeG1108 of the gloryG1391 of GodG2316 inG1722 the faceG4383 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547. {hath: Gr. is he who hath}

The wordG3056 whichG3739 God sentG649 unto the childrenG5207 of IsraelG2474, preachingG2097 peaceG1515 byG1223 JesusG2424 ChristG5547: (heG3778 isG2076 LordG2962 of allG3956:)
Now thenG3767 we are ambassadorsG4243 forG5228 ChristG5547, as thoughG5613 GodG2316 did beseechG3870 you byG1223 usG2257: we prayG1189 you inG5228 Christ'sG5547 steadG5228, be ye reconciledG2644 to GodG2316.
AndG2532 the peaceG1515 of GodG2316, whichG3588 passethG5242 allG3956 understandingG3563, shall keepG5432 yourG5216 heartsG2588 andG2532 mindsG5216+G3540 throughG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424.
ForG1063 heG846 isG2076 ourG2257 peaceG1515, whoG3588 hath madeG4160 bothG297 oneG1520, andG2532 hath broken downG3089 the middle wallG3320 of partitionG5418 between us;
Having abolishedG2673 inG1722 hisG846 fleshG4561 the enmityG2189, even the lawG3551 of commandmentsG1785 contained inG1722 ordinancesG1378; for toG2443 makeG2936 inG1722 himselfG1438 of twainG1417 oneG1519+G1520 newG2537 manG444, so makingG4160 peaceG1515;
AndG2532 that he might reconcileG604 bothG297 unto GodG2316 inG1722 oneG1520 bodyG4983 byG1223 the crossG4716, having slainG615 the enmityG2189 therebyG1722+G846: {thereby: or, in himself}
AndG2532 cameG2064 and preachedG2097 peaceG1515 to youG5213 whichG3588 were afar offG3112, andG2532 to them that were nighG1451.
