(The NET Bible: New English Translation. Biblical Studies Press, 2005)
### Eliphazâs Third Speech
[[#Verse 01.]]Â Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered:
[[#Verse 02.]]Â âIs it to God that a strong man is of benefit? Is it to him that even a wise man is profitable?
[[#Verse 03.]] Is it of any special benefit to the Almighty that you should be righteous, or is it any gain to him that you make your ways blameless?
[[#Verse 04.]] Is it because of your piety that he rebukes you
and goes to judgment with you?
[[#Verse 05.]]Â Is not your wickedness great
and is there no end to your iniquity?
[[#Verse 06.]] âFor you took pledges from your brothers for no reason, and you stripped the clothing from the naked.
[[#Verse 07.]] You gave the weary no water to drink
and from the hungry you withheld food.
[[#Verse 08.]] Although you were a powerful man, owning land,
an honored man living on it,
[[#Verse 09.]]Â you sent widows away empty-handed,
and the arms of the orphans you crushed.
[[#Verse 10.]]Â That is why snares surround you,
and why sudden fear terrifies you,
[[#Verse 11.]]Â why it is so dark you cannot see,
and why a flood of water covers you.
[[#Verse 12.]]Â âIs not God on high in heaven?
And see the lofty stars, how high they are!
[[#Verse 13.]]Â But you have said, âWhat does God know?
Does he judge through such deep darkness?
[[#Verse 14.]]Â Thick clouds are a veil for him, so he does not see us,
as he goes back and forth
in the vault of heaven.â
[[#Verse 15.]]Â Will you keep to the old path that evil men have walkedâ
[[#Verse 16.]] men who were carried off before their time, when the flood was poured out on their foundations?
[[#Verse 17.]]Â They were saying to God, âTurn away from us,â
and, âWhat can the Almighty do to us?â
[[#Verse 18.]] But it was he who filled their houses with good thingsâ yet the counsel of the wicked was far from me.
[[#Verse 19.]] The righteous see their destruction and rejoice;
the innocent mock them scornfully, saying,
[[#Verse 20.]] âSurely our enemies are destroyed,
and fire consumes their wealth.â
[[#Verse 21.]] âReconcile yourself with God, and be at peace with him; in this way your prosperity will be good.
[[#Verse 22.]] Accept instruction from his mouth
and store up his words in your heart.
[[#Verse 23.]]Â If you return to the Almighty, you will be built up;
if you remove wicked behavior far from your tent,
[[#Verse 24.]] and throw your gold in the dustâ your gold of Ophir among the rocks in the ravinesâ
[[#Verse 25.]]Â then the Almighty himself will be your gold,
and the choicest silver for you.
[[#Verse 26.]] Surely then you will delight yourself in the Almighty,
and will lift up your face toward God.
[[#Verse 27.]]Â You will pray to him and he will hear you,
and you will fulfill your vows to him.
[[#Verse 28.]] Whatever you decide on a matter,
it will be established for you,
and light will shine on your ways.
[[#Verse 29.]] When people are brought low and you say, âLift them up!â then he will save the downcast;
[[#Verse 30.]]Â he will deliver even someone who is not innocent,
who will escape through the cleanness of your hands.â
