Job 22:5-30 Is it not because your evil is great, And there is no end to your depravities?

CLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁵ Is it not because your evil is great, And there is no end to your depravities? ⁶ For you have taken pledge from your brothers gratuitously, And you have stripped the garments of the naked. ⁷ No water have you given the faint to drink, And from the hungry have you withheld bread. ⁸ The man of the arm of power, he has the land, And he of repute is dwelling in it. ⁹ Widows you have sent away empty, And the arms of orphans you have crushed. ¹⁰ Therefore, snares are round about you, And sudden alarm fills you with panic;" ¹¹ Light has become darkness so you cannot see, And a concourse of water is covering you. ¹² Is not Eloah in the loftiness of the heavens? See the topmost stars, how high they are. ¹³ Yet you say, What does El know? Can He judge through murkiness? ¹⁴ Thick clouds are a concealment for Him, so that He cannot see, And He walks about the circle of the heavens. ¹⁵ Are you keeping the path of the eon of old That the men of lawlessness tread, ¹⁶ Who were arrested when not yet their time, When a stream was poured over their foundation, ¹⁷ Who were saying to El, Withdraw from us, And, What can He Who Suffices effect for us? ¹⁸ Yet He Himself had filled their houses with good; (Still the counsel of the wicked is far from me.) ¹⁹ The righteous see it and rejoice, And the innocent one derides them, saying. ²⁰ Assuredly whoever rose against us is suppressed, And fire has devoured their surplus. ²¹ Be careful, I pray, toward Him, and fare well, By these means good shall come to you. ²² Take hold, I pray, to the law from His mouth, And place His sayings in your heart. ²³ If you return unto Him Who Suffices and you submit, If you put iniquity far from your ten. ²⁴ And set aside your gold ore upon the soil, And wealth of Ophir among the rocks of the watercourses, ²⁵ Then He Who Suffices will become your gold ore And refined silver for you. ²⁶ For then you shall find pleasure for yourself in Him Who Suffices, And you shall lift your face to Eloah. ²⁷ You shall entreat Him, and He shall hear you, And you shall pay your vows. ²⁸ When you prescribe a matter, it shall be confirmed to you, And light will brighten your ways. ²⁹ When they abase, then you may claim pride, For He shall save the downcast of eyes. ³⁰ He shall give escape to the innocent man, And you shall escape by the purity of your palms.
