< Job 15 >

1 And he answered Eliphaz the Temanite and he said.
And Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,
2 ¿ A wise [person] does he answer knowledge of wind so may he fill? east wind belly his.
Should a wise man answer with windy knowledge, and fill his belly with the east wind,
3 Does he argue? with a word [which] not it is of use and words [which] not anyone profits by them.
Reasoning with unprofitable talk, and with speeches which do no good?
4 Also you you annul fear so you may diminish meditation before God.
Yea, thou makest piety of none effect, and restrainest meditation before God.
5 For it teaches iniquity your mouth your so you may choose [the] tongue of crafty [people].
For thy mouth uttereth thine iniquity, and thou hast chosen the tongue of the crafty.
6 It condemns as guilty you own mouth your and not I and own lips your they testify against you.
Thine own mouth condemneth thee, and not I; and thy lips testify against thee.
7 ¿ First human being were you born and before [the] hills were you brought forth?
Art thou the first man that was born? and wast thou brought forth before the hills?
8 ¿ In [the] council of God do you listen and you may restrain? to yourself wisdom.
Hast thou listened in the secret council of God? And hast thou absorbed wisdom for thyself?
9 What? do you know and not we know do you understand? and not [is] with us it.
What knowest thou that we know not? [what] understandest thou which is not in us?
10 Both [the] gray haired as well as [the] aged [are] among us [those] old more than father your days.
Both the greyheaded and the aged are with us, older than thy father.
11 ¿ [too] little For you [are] [the] consolations of God and a word to gentleness with you.
Are the consolations of God too small for thee? and the word gently spoken to thee?
12 Why? does it carry away you heart your and why? do they flash! eyes your.
Why doth thy heart carry thee away? and why do thine eyes wink?
13 That you will turn against God spirit your and you will bring out from mouth your words.
That thou turnest thy spirit against God, and lettest words go out of thy 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? and he that is born of a 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.
Behold, he putteth no trust in his holy ones, and the heavens are not pure in his sight:
16 Indeed? for [one who] is abhorrent and [one who] is corrupt a person [who] drinks like water unrighteousness.
How much less the abominable and corrupt, — man, that drinketh unrighteousness like water!
17 I will tell you listen to me and what I have seen and I will recount.
I will shew thee, listen to me; and what I have seen I will declare;
18 [that] which Wise [people] they have told and not they have hidden from ancestors their.
Which wise men have told from their fathers, and have not hidden;
19 To them to alone them it was given the land and not he passed a stranger in midst their.
Unto whom alone the earth was given, and no stranger 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].
All his days the wicked man is tormented, and numbered years are allotted to the violent.
21 [the] sound of Dread [is] in ears his in peace a destroyer he will come to him.
The sound of terrors is in his ears: in prosperity the destroyer cometh upon him.
22 Not he believes to return from darkness (and [is] watched *Q(k)*) he to [the] sword.
He believeth not that he shall return out of darkness, and he is singled out for the sword.
23 [is] wandering He for food where? he knows - that [has been] prepared in hand his a day of darkness.
He wandereth abroad for bread, — where may it be? He knoweth that the day of darkness is ready at his hand.
24 They terrify him anxiety and distress it overpowers him like a king - ready for battle.
Distress and anguish make him afraid; they prevail against him, as a king ready for the battle.
25 For he has stretched out against God hand his and to [the] Almighty he behaves proudly.
For he hath stretched out his hand against God, and strengthened himself against the Almighty:
26 He runs against him with a neck with [the] thickness of [the] bosses of shields his.
He runneth against him, with [outstretched] neck, with the thick bosses of his bucklers;
27 For he has covered face his with fat his and he has made fat on loins.
For he hath covered his face with his fatness, and gathered fat upon [his] flanks.
28 And he dwelt - cities destroyed houses [which] not people will dwell themselves which they are destined for heaps of stones.
And he dwelleth in desolate cities, in houses that no man inhabiteth, which are destined to become heaps.
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 shall not become rich, neither shall his substance continue, and their possessions shall not extend upon the earth.
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 shall not depart out of darkness; the flame shall dry up his branches; and by the breath of his mouth shall he go 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 trust in vanity: he is deceived, for vanity shall be his recompense;
32 On not day his it will be completed and palm branch his not it will grow luxuriant.
It shall be complete before his day, and his branch shall not be green.
33 He will wrong like vine unripe grape[s] his and he will shed like olive tree blossom his.
He shall shake off his unripe grapes as a vine, and shall cast his flower as an olive.
34 For a company of [the] godless [is] barren and fire it consumes [the] tents of a bribe.
For the family of the ungodly shall be barren, and fire shall consume the tents of bribery.
35 They conceive trouble and they give birth to wickedness and belly their it prepares deceit.
They conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity, and their belly prepareth deceit.
