2 To God is a man profitable, Because a wise man to himself is profitable? YLT — Job 22:2
3 Is it a delight to the Mighty One That thou art righteous? is it gain, That thou makest perfect thy ways? YLT — Job 22:3
4 Because of thy reverence Doth He reason [with] thee? He entereth with thee into judgment: YLT — Job 22:4
5 Is not thy wickedness abundant? And there is no end to thine iniquities. YLT — Job 22:5
6 For thou takest a pledge of thy brother for nought, And the garments of the naked Thou dost strip off. YLT — Job 22:6
7 Thou causest not the weary to drink water, And from the hungry thou withholdest bread. YLT — Job 22:7
8 As to the man of arm — he hath the earth, And the accepted of face — he dwelleth in it. YLT — Job 22:8
9 Widows thou hast sent away empty, And the arms of the fatherless are bruised. YLT — Job 22:9
10 Therefore round about thee [are] snares, And trouble thee doth fear suddenly. YLT — Job 22:10
11 Or darkness — thou dost not see, And abundance of waters doth cover thee. YLT — Job 22:11
12 Is not God high [in] heaven? And see the summit of the stars, That they are high. YLT — Job 22:12
13 And thou hast said, ‘What — hath God known? Through thickness doth He judge? YLT — Job 22:13
14 Thick clouds [are] a secret place to Him, And He doth not see;’ And the circle of the heavens He walketh habitually, YLT — Job 22:14
15 The path of the age dost thou observe, That men of iniquity have trodden? YLT — Job 22:15
16 Who have been cut down unexpectedly, A flood is poured out on their foundation. YLT — Job 22:16
17 Those saying to God, ‘Turn aside from us,’ And what doth the Mighty One to them? YLT — Job 22:17
18 And he hath filled their houses [with] good: (And the counsel of the wicked Hath been far from me.) YLT — Job 22:18
19 See do the righteous and they rejoice, And the innocent mocketh at them, YLT — Job 22:19
20 ’Surely our substance hath not been cut off, And their excellency hath fire consumed.’ YLT — Job 22:20
21 Acquaint thyself, I pray thee, with Him, And be at peace, Thereby thine increase [is] good. YLT — Job 22:21
22 Receive, I pray thee, from His mouth a law, And set His sayings in thy heart. YLT — Job 22:22
23 If thou dost return unto the Mighty Thou art built up, Thou puttest iniquity far from thy tents. YLT — Job 22:23
24 So as to set on the dust a defence, And on a rock of the valleys a covering. YLT — Job 22:24
25 And the Mighty hath been thy defence, And silver [is] strength to thee. YLT — Job 22:25
26 For then on the Mighty thou delightest thyself, And dost lift up unto God thy face, YLT — Job 22:26
27 Thou dost make supplication unto Him, And He doth hear thee, And thy vows thou completest. YLT — Job 22:27
28 And thou decreest a saying, And it is established to thee, And on thy ways hath light shone. YLT — Job 22:28
29 For they have made low, And thou sayest, ‘Lift up.’ And the bowed down of eyes he saveth. YLT — Job 22:29
30 He delivereth the not innocent, Yea, he hath been delivered By the cleanness of thy hands. YLT — Job 22:30
