Job 22:4
Job 22:4 New Living Translation (NLT)
Is it because you’re so pious that he accuses you and brings judgment against you?
Job 22:1-11 The Message (MSG)
Once again Eliphaz the Temanite took up his theme: “Are any of us strong enough to give God a hand, or smart enough to give him advice? So what if you were righteous—would God Almighty even notice? Even if you gave a perfect performance, do you think he’d applaud? Do you think it’s because he cares about your purity that he’s disciplining you, putting you on the spot? Hardly! It’s because you’re a first-class moral failure, because there’s no end to your sins. When people came to you for help, you took the shirts off their backs, exploited their helplessness. You wouldn’t so much as give a drink to the thirsty, or food, not even a scrap, to the hungry. And there you sat, strong and honored by everyone, surrounded by immense wealth! You turned poor widows away from your door; heartless, you crushed orphans. Now you’re the one trapped in terror, paralyzed by fear. Suddenly the tables have turned! How do you like living in the dark, sightless, up to your neck in flood waters?
Job 22:4 King James Version (KJV)
Will he reprove thee for fear of thee? Will he enter with thee into judgment?
Job 22:4 New American Standard Bible - NASB 1995 (NASB1995)
Is it because of your reverence that He reproves you, That He enters into judgment against you?
Job 22:4 New Century Version (NCV)
Does God punish you for respecting him? Does he bring you into court for this?
Job 22:4 American Standard Version (ASV)
Is it for thy fear of him that he reproveth thee, That he entereth with thee into judgment?
Job 22:4 New International Version (NIV)
“Is it for your piety that he rebukes you and brings charges against you?
Job 22:4 New King James Version (NKJV)
“Is it because of your fear of Him that He corrects you, And enters into judgment with you?
