Job 15
1 And he answered Eliphaz the Temanite and he said.
Then Eliphaz the Temanite replied:
2 ¿ A wise [person] does he answer knowledge of wind so may he fill? east wind belly his.
“Does a wise man answer with empty counsel or fill his belly with the hot east wind?
3 Does he argue? with a word [which] not it is of use and words [which] not anyone profits by them.
Should he argue with useless words or speeches that serve no purpose?
4 Also you you annul fear so you may diminish meditation before God.
But you even undermine the fear of God and hinder meditation before Him.
5 For it teaches iniquity your mouth your so you may choose [the] tongue of crafty [people].
For your iniquity instructs your mouth, and you choose the language of the crafty.
6 It condemns as guilty you own mouth your and not I and own lips your they testify against you.
Your own mouth, not mine, condemns you; your own lips testify against you.
7 ¿ First human being were you born and before [the] hills were you brought forth?
Were you the first man ever born? Were you brought forth before the hills?
8 ¿ In [the] council of God do you listen and you may restrain? to yourself wisdom.
Do you listen in on the council of God or limit wisdom to yourself?
9 What? do you know and not we know do you understand? and not [is] with us it.
What do you know that we do not? What do you understand that is not clear to us?
10 Both [the] gray haired as well as [the] aged [are] among us [those] old more than father your days.
Both the gray-haired and the aged are on our side— men much older than your father.
11 ¿ [too] little For you [are] [the] consolations of God and a word to gentleness with you.
Are the consolations of God not enough for you, even words spoken gently to you?
12 Why? does it carry away you heart your and why? do they flash! eyes your.
Why has your heart carried you away, and why do your eyes flash,
13 That you will turn against God spirit your and you will bring out from mouth your words.
as you turn your spirit against God and pour such words from your mouth?
14 What? [is] a person that he will be pure and that he will be righteous [one] born of a woman.
What is man, that he should be pure, or one born of woman, that he should be righteous?
15 There! (in holy [ones] his *Q(K)*) not he trusts and [the] heavens not they are pure in view his.
If God puts no trust in His holy ones, if even the heavens are not pure in His eyes,
16 Indeed? for [one who] is abhorrent and [one who] is corrupt a person [who] drinks like water unrighteousness.
how much less man, who is vile and corrupt, who drinks injustice like water?
17 I will tell you listen to me and what I have seen and I will recount.
Listen to me and I will inform you. I will describe what I have seen,
18 [that] which Wise [people] they have told and not they have hidden from ancestors their.
what was declared by wise men and was not concealed from their fathers,
19 To them to alone them it was given the land and not he passed a stranger in midst their.
to whom alone the land was given when no foreigner passed among them.
20 All [the] days of a wicked [person] he [is] writhing in pain and [the] number of years [which] they have been stored up for ruthless [person].
A wicked man writhes in pain all his days; only a few years are reserved for the ruthless.
21 [the] sound of Dread [is] in ears his in peace a destroyer he will come to him.
Sounds of terror fill his ears; in his prosperity the destroyer attacks him.
22 Not he believes to return from darkness (and [is] watched *Q(k)*) he to [the] sword.
He despairs of his return from darkness; he is marked for the sword.
23 [is] wandering He for food where? he knows - that [has been] prepared in hand his a day of darkness.
He wanders about as food for vultures; he knows the day of darkness is at hand.
24 They terrify him anxiety and distress it overpowers him like a king - ready for battle.
Distress and anguish terrify him, overwhelming him like a king poised to attack.
25 For he has stretched out against God hand his and to [the] Almighty he behaves proudly.
For he has stretched out his hand against God and has vaunted himself against the Almighty,
26 He runs against him with a neck with [the] thickness of [the] bosses of shields his.
rushing headlong at Him with a thick, studded shield.
27 For he has covered face his with fat his and he has made fat on loins.
Though his face is covered with fat and his waistline bulges with flesh,
28 And he dwelt - cities destroyed houses [which] not people will dwell themselves which they are destined for heaps of stones.
he will dwell in ruined cities, in abandoned houses destined to become rubble.
29 Not he will be rich and not it will endure wealth his and not it will stretch out to the land property their.
He will no longer be rich; his wealth will not endure. His possessions will not overspread the land.
30 Not he will depart - from darkness young shoot[s] his it will dry up a flame so he may depart by [the] breath of mouth his.
He will not escape from the darkness; the flame will wither his shoots, and the breath of God’s mouth will carry him away.
31 May not he trust (in worthlessness *Q(K)*) he has been led astray for worthlessness it will be recompense his.
Let him not deceive himself with trust in emptiness, for emptiness will be his reward.
32 On not day his it will be completed and palm branch his not it will grow luxuriant.
It will be paid in full before his time, and his branch will not flourish.
33 He will wrong like vine unripe grape[s] his and he will shed like olive tree blossom his.
He will be like a vine stripped of its unripe grapes, like an olive tree that sheds its blossoms.
34 For a company of [the] godless [is] barren and fire it consumes [the] tents of a bribe.
For the company of the godless will be barren, and fire will consume the tents of bribery.
35 They conceive trouble and they give birth to wickedness and belly their it prepares deceit.
They conceive trouble and give birth to evil; their womb is pregnant with deceit.”
