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}

He shall deliverH5337 thee in sixH8337 troublesH6869: yea, in sevenH7651 there shall no evilH7451 touchH5060 thee.
In famineH7458 he shall redeemH6299 thee from deathH4194: and in warH4421 from the powerH3027 of the swordH2719. {power: Heb. hands}
Thou shalt be hidH2244 from the scourgeH7752 of the tongueH3956: neither shalt thou be afraidH3372 of destructionH7701 when it comethH935. {from…: or, when the tongue scourgeth}
At destructionH7701 and famineH3720 thou shalt laughH7832: neither shalt thou be afraidH3372 of the beastsH2416 of the earthH776.
For thou shalt be in leagueH1285 with the stonesH68 of the fieldH7704: and the beastsH2416 of the fieldH7704 shall be at peaceH7999 with thee.
And thou shalt knowH3045 that thy tabernacleH168 shall be in peaceH7965; and thou shalt visitH6485 thy habitationH5116, and shalt not sinH2398. {thy tabernacle…: or, peace is thy tabernacle} {sin: or, err}
Thou shalt knowH3045 also that thy seedH2233 shall be greatH7227, and thine offspringH6631 as the grassH6212 of the earthH776. {great: or, much}
Thou shalt comeH935 to thy graveH6913 in a full ageH3624, like as a shock of cornH1430 cometh inH5927 in his seasonH6256. {cometh in: Heb. ascendeth}
Lo this, we have searchedH2713 it, so it is; hearH8085 it, and knowH3045 thou it for thy good. {for…: Heb. for thyself}
A man'sH120 prideH1346 shall bring him lowH8213: but honourH3519 shall upholdH8551 the humbleH8217 in spiritH7307.
Though the LORDH3068 be highH7311, yet hath he respectH7200 unto the lowlyH8217: but the proudH1364 he knowethH3045 afar offH4801.
I will be gladH8055 and rejoiceH5970 in thee: I will sing praiseH2167 to thy nameH8034, O thou most HighH5945.
For thus saithH559 the highH7311 and lofty OneH5375 that inhabitethH7931 eternityH5703, whose nameH8034 is HolyH6918; I dwellH7931 in the highH4791 and holyH6918 place, with him also that is of a contriteH1793 and humbleH8217 spiritH7307, to reviveH2421 the spiritH7307 of the humbleH8217, and to reviveH2421 the heartH3820 of the contrite onesH1792.
For all those things hath mine handH3027 madeH6213, and all those things have been, saithH5002 the LORDH3068: but to this man will I lookH5027, even to him that is poorH6041 and of a contriteH5223 spiritH7307, and tremblethH2730 at my wordH1697.
When mine enemiesH341 are turnedH7725 backH268, they shall fallH3782 and perishH6 at thy presenceH6440.
ForG3754 whosoeverG3956 exaltethG5312 himselfG1438 shall be abasedG5013; andG2532 he that humblethG5013 himselfG1438 shall be exaltedG5312.
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; RemoveH5493 the diademH4701, and take offH7311 the crownH5850: this shall not be the sameH2063: exaltH1361 him that is lowH8217, and abaseH8213 him that is highH1364.
Because he hath set his loveH2836 upon me, therefore will I deliverH6403 him: I will set him on highH7682, because he hath knownH3045 my nameH8034.
He shall callH7121 upon me, and I will answerH6030 him: I will be with him in troubleH6869; I will deliverH2502 him, and honourH3513 him.
With longH753 lifeH3117 will I satisfyH7646 him, and shewH7200 him my salvationH3444. {long…: Heb. length of days}
AndG1161 he spakeG2036+G2532 thisG5026 parableG3850 untoG4314 certainG5100 whichG3588 trustedG3982 inG1909 themselvesG1438 thatG3754 they wereG1526 righteousG1342, andG2532 despisedG1848 othersG3062: {that…: or, as being righteous}
TwoG1417 menG444 went upG305 intoG1519 the templeG2411 to prayG4336; the oneG1520 a PhariseeG5330, andG2532 the otherG2087 a publicanG5057.
The PhariseeG5330 stoodG2476 and prayedG4336 thusG5023 withG4314 himselfG1438, GodG2316, I thankG2168 theeG4671, thatG3754 I amG1510 notG3756 asG5618 otherG3062 menG444 are, extortionersG727, unjustG94, adulterersG3432, orG2228 evenG2532 asG5613 thisG3778 publicanG5057.
I fastG3522 twiceG1364 in the weekG4521, I give tithesG586 of allG3956 thatG3745 I possessG2932.
AndG2532 the publicanG5057, standingG2476 afar offG3113, wouldG2309 notG3756 lift upG1869 so much asG3761 his eyesG3788 untoG1519 heavenG3772, butG235 smoteG5180 uponG1519 hisG846 breastG4738, sayingG3004, GodG2316 be mercifulG2433 to meG3427 a sinnerG268.
I tellG3004 youG5213, this manG3778 went downG2597 toG1519 hisG846 houseG3624 justifiedG1344 rather thanG2228 the otherG1565: forG3754 every oneG3956 that exaltethG5312 himselfG1438 shall be abasedG5013; andG1161 he that humblethG5013 himselfG1438 shall be exaltedG5312.
I will overturnH5754, overturnH5754, overturnH5754, it: and it shall beH7760 no more, until he comeH935 whose rightH4941 it is; and I will giveH5414 it him. {I will overturn…: Heb. Perverted, perverted, perverted, will I make it}
For, lo, thine enemiesH341, O LORDH3068, for, lo, thine enemiesH341 shall perishH6; all the workersH6466 of iniquityH205 shall be scatteredH6504.
But my hornH7161 shalt thou exaltH7311 like the horn of an unicornH7214: I shall be anointedH1101 with freshH7488 oilH8081.
Mine eyeH5869 also shall seeH5027 my desire on mine enemiesH7790, and mine earsH241 shall hearH8085 my desire of the wickedH7489 that rise upH6965 against me.
ButG1161 he givethG1325 moreG3187 graceG5485. WhereforeG1352 he saithG3004, GodG2316 resistethG498 the proudG5244, butG1161 givethG1325 graceG5485 unto the humbleG5011.
