Lyrics

Job chapter 22
Eliphaz's third response to Job
Then Eliphaz the Temanite replied
Can a person do anything to help God?
Can even a wise person be helpful to him?
Is it any advantage to the Almighty if you are righteous?
Would it be any gain to him if you were perfect?
Is it because you are so pious that he
Accuses you and brings judgment against you?
No, it is because of your wickedness. There is no limit to your sins
For example, you must have lent money to your friend and demanded
Clothing as security. Yes, you stripped him to the bone
You must have refused water for the thirsty and food for the hungry
You probably think, "The land belongs to the powerful
And only the privileged have a right to it."
You must have sent widows away empty-
Handed and crushed the hopes of orphans
That is why you are surrounded by traps and tremble from sudden fears
That is why you cannot see in the
Darkness and waves of water cover you
God is so great, higher than the heavens
Higher than the farthest stars
But you reply, "That's why God can't see what I am doing!"
"How can he judge through the thick darkness?"
"For thick clouds swirl about him, and he cannot see us."
"He is way up there, walking on the vaults of heaven."
Will you continue on the old paths where evil people have walked?
They were snatched away in the prime of life
The foundations of their lives washed away
For they said to God, "Leave us alone!
What could the Almighty do to us?"
Yet he was the one who filled their homes with good things
So I will have nothing to do with that kind of thinking
The righteous will be happy to see the wicked
Destroyed, and the innocent will laugh in contempt
They will say, "See how our enemies have been destroyed!
The last of them have been consumed in the fire!"
Submit to God and you will have peace
Then things will go well for you
Listen to his instructions and store them in your heart
If you return to the Almighty, you will be restored
So clean up your life
If you give up your lust for money and
Throw your precious gold into the river
The Almighty himself will be your treasure
He will be your precious silver
Then you will take delight in the Almighty and look up to God
You will pray to him and he will hear you
And you will fulfill your vows to him
You will succeed in whatever you choose to do
And light will shine on the road ahead of you
If people are in trouble and you say, "Help them,"
God will save them
Even sinners will be rescued
They will be rescued because your hands are pure
