Eliphaz the Third Time — Job 22:15–23

Wilt thou keep the old way Which wicked men have trodden?

Who were snatched away before their time,
Whose foundation was poured out as a stream,

Who said unto God, Depart from us; And,
What can the Almighty do for us?

Yet he filled their houses with good things:
But the counsel of the wicked is far from me.

The righteous see it, and are glad;
And the innocent laugh them to scorn,

Saying, Surely they that did rise up against us are cut off,
And the remnant of them the fire hath consumed.

Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace:
Thereby good shall come unto thee.

Receive, I pray thee, the law from his mouth,
And lay up his words in thy heart.

If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up,
If thou put away unrighteousness far from thy tents.
