Job 22

The Latin Vulgate w/ Apocrypha VULA

1 respondens autem Eliphaz Themanites dixit

2 numquid Deo conparari potest homo etiam cum perfectae fuerit scientiae

3 quid prodest Deo si iustus fueris aut quid ei confers si inmaculata fuerit via tua

4 numquid timens arguet te et veniet tecum in iudicium

5 et non propter malitiam tuam plurimam et infinitas iniquitates tuas

6 abstulisti enim pignus fratrum tuorum sine causa et nudos spoliasti vestibus

7 aquam lasso non dedisti et esurienti subtraxisti panem

8 in fortitudine brachii tui possidebas terram et potentissimus obtinebas eam

9 viduas dimisisti vacuas et lacertos pupillorum comminuisti

10 propterea circumdatus es laqueis et conturbat te formido subita

11 et putabas te tenebras non visurum et impetu aquarum inundantium non oppressurum

12 an cogitas quod Deus excelsior caelo et super stellarum vertices sublimetur

13 et dicis quid enim novit Deus et quasi per caliginem iudicat

14 nubes latibulum eius nec nostra considerat et circa cardines caeli perambulat

15 numquid semitam saeculorum custodire cupis quam calcaverunt viri iniqui

16 qui sublati sunt ante tempus suum et fluvius subvertit fundamentum eorum

17 qui dicebant Deo recede a nobis et quasi nihil possit facere Omnipotens aestimabant eum

18 cum ille implesset domos eorum bonis quorum sententia procul sit a me

19 videbunt iusti et laetabuntur et innocens subsannabit eos

20 nonne succisa est erectio eorum et reliquias eorum devoravit ignis

21 adquiesce igitur ei et habeto pacem et per haec habebis fructus optimos

22 suscipe ex ore illius legem et pone sermones eius in corde tuo

23 si reversus fueris ad Omnipotentem aedificaberis et longe facies iniquitatem a tabernaculo tuo

24 dabit pro terra silicem et pro silice torrentes aureos

25 eritque Omnipotens contra hostes tuos et argentum coacervabitur tibi

26 tunc super Omnipotentem deliciis afflues et elevabis ad Deum faciem tuam

27 rogabis eum et exaudiet te et vota tua reddes

28 decernes rem et veniet tibi et in viis tuis splendebit lumen

29 qui enim humiliatus fuerit erit in gloria et qui inclinaverit oculos suos ipse salvabitur

30 salvabitur innocens salvabitur autem munditia manuum suarum

New International Version NIV

1 Then Eliphaz the Temanite replied:

2 “Can a man be of benefit to God? Can even a wise person benefit him?

3 What pleasure would it give the Almighty if you were righteous? What would he gain if your ways were blameless?

4 “Is it for your piety that he rebukes you and brings charges against you?

5 Is not your wickedness great? Are not your sins endless?

6 You demanded security from your relatives for no reason; you stripped people of their clothing, leaving them naked.

7 You gave no water to the weary and you withheld food from the hungry,

8 though you were a powerful man, owning land— an honored man, living on it.

9 And you sent widows away empty-handed and broke the strength of the fatherless.

10 That is why snares are all around you, why sudden peril terrifies you,

11 why it is so dark you cannot see, and why a flood of water covers you.

12 “Is not God in the heights of heaven? And see how lofty are the highest stars!

13 Yet you say, ‘What does God know? Does he judge through such darkness?

14 Thick clouds veil him, so he does not see us as he goes about in the vaulted heavens.’

15 Will you keep to the old path that the wicked have trod?

16 They were carried off before their time, their foundations washed away by a flood.

17 They said to God, ‘Leave us alone! What can the Almighty do to us?’

18 Yet it was he who filled their houses with good things, so I stand aloof from the plans of the wicked.

19 The righteous see their ruin and rejoice; the innocent mock them, saying,

20 ‘Surely our foes are destroyed, and fire devours their wealth.’

21 “Submit to God and be at peace with him; in this way prosperity will come to you.

22 Accept instruction from his mouth and lay up his words in your heart.

23 If you return to the Almighty, you will be restored: If you remove wickedness far from your tent

24 and assign your nuggets to the dust, your gold of Ophir to the rocks in the ravines,

25 then the Almighty will be your gold, the choicest silver for you.

26 Surely then you will find delight in the Almighty and will lift up your face to God.

27 You will pray to him, and he will hear you, and you will fulfill your vows.

28 What you decide on will be done, and light will shine on your ways.

29 When people are brought low and you say, ‘Lift them up!’ then he will save the downcast.

30 He will deliver even one who is not innocent, who will be delivered through the cleanness of your hands.”
