Job 22:13-30 ▼

13 Wilt thou therfore say, Tushe, howe should God know? can he iudge through the darke cloude?

14 Tushe, the cloudes couer him that he may not see, and he walketh on the top of heauen.

15 Hast thou marked the way of the world, wherin wicked men haue walked?

16 Whiche were cut downe out of time, and whose foundation was as an ouerflowing ryuer.

17 Whiche sayd vnto God, Go from vs: and asked what the almightie coulde do for them?

18 He filled their houses with good things: but the counsell of the vngodly be farre from me.

19 The righteous sawe it and were glad, and the innocent laughed them to scorne.

20 Is our substaunce bewen downe? As for the remnaunt of them the fire hath consumed.

21 Therefore reconcile thee vnto God, and be at peace: so shall all thinges prospere with thee right well.

22 Receaue I pray thee the lawe at his mouth, and lay vp his wordes in thyne heart.

23 For if thou wilt turne to the almightie, thou shalt be buyld vp, and put all vnrighteousnes from thy dwelling.

24 Thou shalt lay vp golde as plentyful as the dust, and the golde of Ophir as the flyntes of the riuers.

25 Yea almightie God his owne selfe shalbe thy defence, and thou shalt haue plentie of siluer.

26 Then shalt thou haue thy delite in the almightie, and lift vp thy face vnto God.

27 Then shalt thou make thy prayer vnto him, and he shall heare thee, and thou shalt kepe thy promises.

28 Thou shalt also decree a thing, and he shall establishe it vnto thee, and the light shall shine in thy wayes.

29 When the wicked be cast downe, thou shalt say, I am lifted vp: and God shall saue the humble person.

30 The innocent shal deliuer the Ilande: it shalbe preserued by the purenesse of thyne handes.
