| the wayside ask where'er ye go
_Where is the dwelling of the prince?_ and seek Gain more than godlinessI know full well Your deep contempt for one too poor to bribe Your false allegianceand the unkind device Ye wrongfully imagine. Will ye teach Knowledge to God? Doth He not wisely judge The highest? and reserve the sons of guilt For the destruction that awaiteth them?" In quick rejoinderEliphaz replied What is thy fancied goodness in the sight Of the Almighty? Is it gain to Him If thou art righteous? Would it add to Him Gladness or glorythat thy ways should be What thou call'st perfect? Rather turn thine eyes Upon the record of thy sinsand see Their countless number. Hast thou taken a pledge From thy poor brother's hand? or reft away The garment from the shivering? or withheld Bread from the hungry? or the widow sent Empty away? not given the weary soul What it implored? nor bound the broken arm Of the forsaken fatherless? For this Have snares beset thee? and a secret fear Dismay'd thy spirit? and a rayless night Shut over thee? 18 Look to the height of heaven Above the utmost star. Is not God there? Think'st thou that aught can intercept His sight Or bar His right nike air slippers |
