Bible. Job
18:021:030 That the wicked is reserved to the day of destruction? they
shall be brought forth to the day of wrath.
18:021:031 Who shall declare his way to his face? and who shall repay him
what he hath done?
18:021:032 Yet shall he be brought to the grave, and shall remain in the
tomb.
18:021:033 The clods of the valley shall be sweet unto him, and every man
shall draw after him, as there are innumerable before him.
18:021:034 How then comfort ye me in vain, seeing in your answers there
remaineth falsehood?
18:022:001 Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,
18:022:002 Can a man be profitable unto God, as he that is wise may be
profitable unto himself?
18:022:003 Is it any pleasure to the Almighty, that thou art righteous?
or is it gain to him, that thou makest thy ways perfect?
18:022:004 Will he reprove thee for fear of thee? will he enter with thee
into judgment?
18:022:005 Is not thy wickedness great? and thine iniquities infinite?
18:022:006 For thou hast taken a pledge from thy brother for nought, and
stripped the naked of their clothing.
18:022:007 Thou hast not given water to the weary to drink, and thou hast
withholden bread from the hungry.
18:022:008 But as for the mighty man, he had the earth; and the
honourable man dwelt in it.
18:022:009 Thou hast sent widows away empty, and the arms of the
fatherless have been broken.
18:022:010 Therefore snares are round about thee, and sudden fear
troubleth thee;
18:022:011 Or darkness, that thou canst not see; and abundance of waters
cover thee.
18:022:012 Is not God in the height of heaven? and behold the height of
the stars, how high they are!
18:022:013 And thou sayest, How doth God know? can he judge through the
dark cloud?
18:022:014 Thick clouds are a covering to him, that he seeth not; and he
walketh in the circuit of heaven.
18:022:015 Hast thou marked the old way which wicked men have trodden?
18:022:016 Which were cut down out of time, whose foundation was
overflown with a flood:
18:022:017 Which said unto God, Depart from us: and what can the Almighty
do for them?
18:022:018 Yet he filled their houses with good things: but the counsel
of the wicked is far from me.
18:022:019 The righteous see it, and are glad: and the innocent laugh
them to scorn.
18:022:020 Whereas our substance is not cut down, but the remnant of them
the fire consumeth.
18:022:021 Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby good
shall come unto thee.
18:022:022 Receive, I pray thee, the law from his mouth, and lay up his
words in thine heart.
18:022:023 If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up, thou
shalt put away iniquity far from thy tabernacles.
