Job 22

The Latin Vulgate VUL

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

Good News Translation GNT

1 Is there anyone, even the wisest,

2 who could ever be of use to God?

3 Does your doing right benefit God, or does your being good help him at all?

4 It is not because you stand in awe of God that he reprimands you and brings you to trial.

5 No, it's because you have sinned so much; it's because of all the evil you do.

6 To make a brother repay you the money he owed, you took away his clothes and left him nothing to wear.

7 You refused water to those who were tired, and refused to feed those who were hungry.

8 You used your power and your position to take over the whole land.

9 You not only refused to help widows, but you also robbed and mistreated orphans.

10 So now there are pitfalls all around you, and suddenly you are full of fear.

11 It has grown so dark that you cannot see, and a flood overwhelms you.

12 Doesn't God live in the highest heavens and look down on the stars, even though they are high?

13 And yet you ask, "What does God know? He is hidden by clouds - how can he judge us?"

14 You think the thick clouds keep him from seeing, as he walks on the dome of the sky.

15 Are you determined to walk in the paths that evil people have always followed?

16 Even before their time had come, they were washed away by a flood.

17 These are the ones who rejected God and believed that he could do nothing to them.

18 And yet it was God who made them prosperous - I can't understand the thoughts of the wicked.

19 Good people are glad and the innocent laugh when they see the wicked punished.

20 All that the wicked own is destroyed, and fire burns up anything that is left.

21 Now, Job, make peace with God and stop treating him like an enemy; if you do, then he will bless you.

22 Accept the teaching he gives; keep his words in your heart.

23 Yes, you must humbly return to God and put an end to all the evil that is done in your house.

24 Throw away your gold; dump your finest gold in the dry stream bed.

25 Let Almighty God be your gold, and let him be silver, piled high for you.

26 Then you will always trust in God and find that he is the source of your joy.

27 When you pray, he will answer you, and you will keep the vows you made.

28 You will succeed in all you do, and light will shine on your path.

29 God brings down the proud and saves the humble.

30 He will rescue you if you are innocent, if what you do is right.
