Eliphaz's Third Speech / What Use Are We Humans to God?
Eliphaz from Teman said:
Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,
2 What use are we humans to God, even the wisest of us? Can a man be profitable unto God, as he that is wise may be profitable unto himself?
3 If you were completely sinless, that would still mean nothing to God All-Powerful. Is it any pleasure to the Almighty, that thou art righteous? or is it gain to him, that thou makest thy ways perfect?
4 Is he correcting you for worshiping him? Will he reprove thee for fear of thee? will he enter with thee into judgment?
5 No! It's because of your terrible and endless sins. Is not thy wickedness great? and thine iniquities infinite?
6 To guarantee payment of a debt, you have taken clothes from innocent people. For thou hast taken a pledge from thy brother for nought, and stripped the naked of their clothing.
7 And you refused bread and water to the hungry and thirsty, Thou hast not given water to the weary to drink, and thou hast withholden bread from the hungry.
8 although you were rich, respected, and powerful. But as for the mighty man, he had the earth; and the honourable man dwelt in it.
9 You have turned away widows and have broken the arms of orphans. Thou hast sent widows away empty, and the arms of the fatherless have been broken.
10 That's why you were suddenly trapped by terror, Therefore snares are round about thee, and sudden fear troubleth thee;
11 blinded by darkness, and drowned in a flood. Or darkness, that thou canst not see; and abundance of waters cover thee.
12
God Lives in the Heavens
God lives in the heavens above the highest stars, where he sees everything.
Is not God in the height of heaven? and behold the height of the stars, how high they are!
13 Do you think the deep darkness hides you from God? And thou sayest, How doth God know? can he judge through the dark cloud?
14 Do thick clouds cover his eyes, as he walks around heaven's dome high above the earth? Thick clouds are a covering to him, that he seeth not; and he walketh in the circuit of heaven.
15 Give up those ancient ideas believed by sinners, Hast thou marked the old way which wicked men have trodden?
16 who were swept away without warning. Which were cut down out of time, whose foundation was overflown with a flood:
17 They rejected God All-Powerful, feeling he was helpless, Which said unto God, Depart from us: and what can the Almighty do for them?
18 although he had been kind to their families. The beliefs of these sinners are truly disgusting. Yet he filled their houses with good things: but the counsel of the wicked is far from me.
19 When God's people see the godless swept away, they celebrate, The righteous see it, and are glad: and the innocent laugh them to scorn.
20 saying, “Our enemies are gone, and fire has destroyed their possessions.” Whereas our substance is not cut down, but the remnant of them the fire consumeth.
21
Surrender to God All-Powerful
Surrender to God All-Powerful! You will find peace and prosperity.
Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee.
22 Listen to his teachings and take them to heart. Receive, I pray thee, the law from his mouth, and lay up his words in thine heart.
23 If you return to God and turn from sin, all will go well for you. If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up, thou shalt put away iniquity far from thy tabernacles.
24 So get rid of your finest gold, as though it were sand. Then shalt thou lay up gold as dust, and the gold of Ophir as the stones of the brooks.
25 Let God All-Powerful be your silver and gold, Yea, the Almighty shall be thy defence, and thou shalt have plenty of silver.
26 and you will find happiness by worshiping him. For then shalt thou have thy delight in the Almighty, and shalt lift up thy face unto God.
27 God will answer your prayers, and you will keep the promises you made to him. Thou shalt make thy prayer unto him, and he shall hear thee, and thou shalt pay thy vows.
28 He will do whatever you ask, and life will be bright. Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways.
29 When others are disgraced, God will clear their names in answer to your prayers. When men are cast down, then thou shalt say, There is lifting up; and he shall save the humble person.
30 Even those who are guilty will be forgiven, because you obey God. He shall deliver the island of the innocent: and it is delivered by the pureness of thine hands.
