1: and answeredH6030 EliphazH0464 the TemaniteH8489 and said,H0559

2: can to God,H0410 be profitableH5532 a manH1397 ThoughH3588 may be profitableH5532 to himselfH5921 he who is wise.H7919

3: [is it] any pleasureH2656 to the Almighty,H7706 thatH3588 you are righteous?H6663 Or [is it]H0518 gain [to Him]H1215 thatH3588 you make blamelessH8552 your ways?H1870

4: is it because of your fear of HimH3374 that He corrects youH3198 and entersH0935 with youH5973 into judgment?H4941

5: [Is] notH3808 your wickednessH7451 great?H7227 and withoutH0369 endH7093 your iniquity?H5771

6: forH3588 you have taken pledges fromH2254 your brotherH0251 for no reason,H2600 and of their clothingH0899 the nakedH6174 stripped.H6584

7: NotH3808 waterH4325 the wearyH5889 You have given to drink,H8248 and from the hungryH7456 you have withheldH4513 bread.H3899

8: But the man,H0376 mightyH2220 the land-H0776 and the manH5375 honorableH6440 dweltH3427

9: WidowsH0490 You have sent awayH7971 empty,H7387 and the strengthH2220 of the fatherlessH3490 was crushed.H1792

10: ThereforeH5921 after thatH3651 all around youH5439 snares [are]H6341 and troubles youH0926 fearH6343 sudden.H6597

11: OrH0176 darkness,H2822 cannotH3808 [so that] you see-H7200 and an abundanceH8229 of waterH4325 covers you.H3680

12: Is notH3808 GodH0433 in the heightH1363 of heaven?H8064 and seeH7200 the highestH7218 stars,H3556 howH3588 lofty they are!H7311

13: and you say,H0559 whatH4100 does know?H3045 GodH0410 can throughH1157 the deep darknessH6205 He judge?H8199

14: Thick cloudsH5645 coverH5643 so that cannot-H3808 He seeH7200 and [above] the circleH2329 of heavenH8064 He walks.H1980

15: Will to the wayH0734 oldH5769 you keepH8104 whichH0834 have trod?H1869 menH4962 wicked.H0205

16: WhoH0834 were cut downH7059 andH3808 before their time,H6256 by a river?H5104 were swept awayH3332 Whose foundations.H3247

17: They saidH0559 to God,H0410 DepartH5493 from usH4480 and whatH4100 can doH6466 the AlmightyH7706

18: And yet HeH1931 filledH4390 their housesH1004 with good [things]H2896 but the counselH6098 of the wickedH7563 is farH7368 from me.H4480

19: See [it]H7200 the righteousH6662 and are glad,H8055 and the innocentH5355 laughH3932

20: SurelyH0518 notH3808 are cut down,H3582 our adversariesH7009 and their remnantH3499 consumesH0398 the fire.H0784

21: Acquaint yourselfH5532 nowH4994 with HimH5973 and be at peace-H7999 will come to youH0935 good.H2896

22: Receive,H3947 please,H4994 from His mouth,H6310 instructionH8451 and lay upH7760 His wordsH0561 in your heart.H3824

23: IfH0518 you returnH7725 toH5704 the Almighty,H7706 you will be built up,H1129 You will removeH7368 iniquityH5766 far from your tents.H0168

24: Then you will layH7896 inH5921 and the dust,H6083 your goldH1220 and among the stonesH6697 and the brooksH5158 the [gold] of Ophir.H0211

25: and Yes will beH1961 the AlmightyH7706 your gold,H1220 and silverH3701 preciousH8443

26: ForH3588 thenH0227 inH5921 the Almighty,H7706 you will have your delightH6026 and lift upH5375 toH0413 GodH0433 your face.H6440

27: You will make your prayerH6279 to HimH0413 and He will hear youH8085 and your vowsH5088 you will pay.H7999

28: And You will utterH1504 speech,H0562 and it will be establishedH6965 so onH5921 your waysH1870 will shineH5050 light.H0216

29: WhenH3588 they cast [you] down,H8213 and you say,H0559 Exaltation [will come]-H1466 and the humble [person]H7807 personH5869 He will save.H3467

30: He will [even] deliverH4422 [one who is] notH0336 innocent,H5355 and Yes he will be deliveredH4422 by the purityH1252 of your hands.H3709
