Job 15
1 Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite, and saide,
| וַיַּעַן אֱלִיפַז הַֽתֵּימָנִי וַיֹּאמַֽר׃ |
2 Shal a wise man speake words of ye winde, and fill his bellie with the East winde?
| הֶחָכָם יַעֲנֶה דַעַת־רוּחַ וִימַלֵּא קָדִים בִּטְנֽוֹ׃ |
3 Shall he dispute with wordes not comely? or with talke that is not profitable?
| הוֹכֵחַ בְּדָבָר לֹא יִסְכּוֹן וּמִלִּים לֹא־יוֹעִיל בָּֽם׃ |
4 Surely thou hast cast off feare, and restrainest prayer before God.
| אַף־אַתָּה תָּפֵר יִרְאָה וְתִגְרַע שִׂיחָה לִפְנֵי־אֵֽל׃ |
5 For thy mouth declareth thine iniquitie, seeing thou hast chosen ye tongue of the crafty.
| כִּי יְאַלֵּף עֲוֺנְךָ פִיךָ וְתִבְחַר לְשׁוֹן עֲרוּמִֽים׃ |
6 Thine owne mouth condemneth thee, and not I, and thy lippes testifie against thee.
| יַרְשִׁיעֲךָ פִיךָ וְלֹא־אָנִי וּשְׂפָתֶיךָ יַעֲנוּ־בָֽךְ׃ |
7 Art thou the first man, that was borne? and wast thou made before the hils?
| הֲרִאישׁוֹן אָדָם תִּוָּלֵד וְלִפְנֵי גְבָעוֹת חוֹלָֽלְתָּ׃ |
8 Hast thou heard the secret counsell of God, and doest thou restraine wisedome to thee?
| הַבְסוֹד אֱלוֹהַּ תִּשְׁמָע וְתִגְרַע אֵלֶיךָ חׇכְמָֽה׃ |
9 What knowest thou that we knowe not? and vnderstandest that is not in vs?
| מַה־יָּדַעְתָּ וְלֹא נֵדָע תָּבִין וְֽלֹא־עִמָּנוּ הֽוּא׃ |
10 With vs are both auncient and very aged men, farre older then thy father.
| גַּם־שָׂב גַּם־יָשִׁישׁ בָּנוּ כַּבִּיר מֵאָבִיךָ יָמִֽים׃ |
11 Seeme the consolations of God small vnto thee? is this thing strange vnto thee?
| הַמְעַט מִמְּךָ תַּנְחוּמוֹת אֵל וְדָבָר לָאַט עִמָּֽךְ׃ |
12 Why doeth thine heart take thee away, and what doe thine eyes meane,
| מַה־יִּקָּחֲךָ לִבֶּךָ וּֽמַה־יִּרְזְמוּן עֵינֶֽיךָ׃ |
13 That thou answerest to God at thy pleasure, and bringest such wordes out of thy mouth?
| כִּֽי־תָשִׁיב אֶל־אֵל רוּחֶךָ וְהֹצֵאתָ מִפִּיךָ מִלִּֽין׃ |
14 What is man, that he should be cleane? and he that is borne of woman, that he shoulde be iust?
| מָה־אֱנוֹשׁ כִּֽי־יִזְכֶּה וְכִי־יִצְדַּק יְלוּד אִשָּֽׁה׃ |
15 Beholde, he founde no stedfastnesse in his Saintes: yea, the heauens are not cleane in his sight.
| הֵן בִּקְדֹשָׁו לֹא יַאֲמִין וְשָׁמַיִם לֹא־זַכּוּ בְעֵינָֽיו׃ |
16 How much more is man abominable, and filthie, which drinketh iniquitie like water?
| אַף כִּי־נִתְעָב וְֽנֶאֱלָח אִישׁ־שֹׁתֶה כַמַּיִם עַוְלָֽה׃ |
17 I will tell thee: heare me, and I will declare that which I haue seene:
| אֲחַוְךָ שְֽׁמַֽע־לִי וְזֶֽה־חָזִיתִי וַאֲסַפֵּֽרָה׃ |
18 Which wise men haue tolde, as they haue heard of their fathers, and haue not kept it secret:
| אֲשֶׁר־חֲכָמִים יַגִּידוּ וְלֹא כִחֲדוּ מֵאֲבוֹתָֽם׃ |
19 To whome alone the land was giuen and no stranger passed through them.
| לָהֶם לְבַדָּם נִתְּנָה הָאָרֶץ וְלֹא־עָבַר זָר בְּתוֹכָֽם׃ |
20 The wicked man is continually as one that traueileth of childe, and the nomber of yeeres is hid from the tyrant.
| כׇּל־יְמֵי רָשָׁע הוּא מִתְחוֹלֵל וּמִסְפַּר שָׁנִים נִצְפְּנוּ לֶעָרִֽיץ׃ |
21 A sounde of feare is in his eares, and in his prosperitie the destroyer shall come vpon him.
| קוֹל־פְּחָדִים בְּאׇזְנָיו בַּשָּׁלוֹם שׁוֹדֵד יְבוֹאֶֽנּוּ׃ |
22 He beleeueth not to returne out of darknesse: for he seeth the sworde before him.
| לֹא־יַאֲמִין שׁוּב מִנִּי־חֹשֶׁךְ (וצפו) [וְצָפוּי] הוּא אֱלֵי־חָֽרֶב׃ |
23 He wandreth to and from for bread where he may: he knoweth that the day of darkenesse is prepared at hande.
| נֹדֵד הוּא לַלֶּחֶם אַיֵּה יָדַע ׀ כִּי־נָכוֹן בְּיָדוֹ יֽוֹם־חֹֽשֶׁךְ׃ |
24 Affliction and anguish shall make him afraide: they shall preuaile against him as a King readie to the battell.
| יְֽבַעֲתֻהוּ צַר וּמְצוּקָה תִּתְקְפֵהוּ כְּמֶלֶךְ ׀ עָתִיד לַכִּידֽוֹר׃ |
25 For he hath stretched out his hand against GOD, and made him selfe strong against the Almightie.
| כִּֽי־נָטָה אֶל־אֵל יָדוֹ וְאֶל־שַׁדַּי יִתְגַּבָּֽר׃ |
26 Therefore God shall runne vpon him, euen vpon his necke, and against the most thicke part of his shielde.
| יָרוּץ אֵלָיו בְּצַוָּאר בַּעֲבִי גַּבֵּי מָגִנָּֽיו׃ |
27 Because he hath couered his face with his fatnesse, and hath colloppes in his flancke.
| כִּֽי־כִסָּה פָנָיו בְּחֶלְבּוֹ וַיַּעַשׂ פִּימָה עֲלֵי־כָֽסֶל׃ |
28 Though he dwell in desolate cities, and in houses which no man inhabiteth, but are become heapes,
| וַיִּשְׁכּוֹן ׀ עָרִים נִכְחָדוֹת בָּתִּים לֹא־יֵשְׁבוּ לָמוֹ אֲשֶׁר הִתְעַתְּדוּ לְגַלִּֽים׃ |
29 He shall not be rich, neither shall his substance continue, neither shall he prolong the perfection thereof in the earth.
| לֹֽא־יֶעְשַׁר וְלֹא־יָקוּם חֵילוֹ וְלֹא־יִטֶּה לָאָרֶץ מִנְלָֽם׃ |
30 He shall neuer depart out of darkenesse: the flame shall drie vp his branches, and he shall goe away with the breath of his mouth.
| לֹֽא־יָסוּר ׀ מִנִּי־חֹשֶׁךְ יֹנַקְתּוֹ תְּיַבֵּשׁ שַׁלְהָבֶת וְיָסוּר בְּרוּחַ פִּֽיו׃ |
31 He beleeueth not that he erreth in vanitie: therefore vanitie shalbe his change.
| אַל־יַאֲמֵן בַּשָּׁו נִתְעָה כִּי־שָׁוְא תִּהְיֶה תְמוּרָתֽוֹ׃ |
32 His branch shall not be greene, but shall be cut off before his day.
| בְּֽלֹא־יוֹמוֹ תִּמָּלֵא וְכִפָּתוֹ לֹא רַעֲנָֽנָה׃ |
33 God shall destroy him as the vine her sower grape, and shall cast him off, as the oliue doeth her flowre.
| יַחְמֹס כַּגֶּפֶן בִּסְרוֹ וְיַשְׁלֵךְ כַּזַּיִת נִצָּתֽוֹ׃ |
34 For the congregation of the hypocrite shalbe desolate, and fire shall deuoure the houses of bribes.
| כִּֽי־עֲדַת חָנֵף גַּלְמוּד וְאֵשׁ אָכְלָה אׇהֳלֵי־שֹֽׁחַד׃ |
35 For they conceiue mischiefe and bring foorth vanitie, and their bellie hath prepared deceite.
| הָרֹה עָמָל וְיָלֹֽד אָוֶן וּבִטְנָם תָּכִין מִרְמָֽה׃ |
