< Job 15 >
1 And he answered Eliphaz the Temanite and he said.
And Eliphaz the Temanite answers and says:
2 ¿ A wise [person] does he answer knowledge of wind so may he fill? east wind belly his.
“Does a wise man answer [with] vain knowledge? And fill his belly [with] an east wind?
3 Does he argue? with a word [which] not it is of use and words [which] not anyone profits by them.
To reason with a word not useful? And speeches—no profit in them?
4 Also you you annul fear so you may diminish meditation before God.
Indeed, you make reverence void, and diminish meditation before God.
5 For it teaches iniquity your mouth your so you may choose [the] tongue of crafty [people].
For your mouth teaches your iniquity, And you choose the tongue of the cunning.
6 It condemns as guilty you own mouth your and not I and own lips your they testify against you.
Your mouth declares you wicked, and not I, And your lips testify against you.
7 ¿ First human being were you born and before [the] hills were you brought forth?
Are you the first man born? And were you formed before the heights?
8 ¿ In [the] council of God do you listen and you may restrain? to yourself wisdom.
Do you hear of the secret counsel of God? And withdraw wisdom to you?
9 What? do you know and not we know do you understand? and not [is] with us it.
What have you known, and we do not know? [What] do you understand, and it is not with us?
10 Both [the] gray haired as well as [the] aged [are] among us [those] old more than father your days.
Both the gray-headed And the very aged [are] among us—Greater than your father [in] days.
11 ¿ [too] little For you [are] [the] consolations of God and a word to gentleness with you.
Are the comforts of God too few for you? And a gentle word [is] with you,
12 Why? does it carry away you heart your and why? do they flash! eyes your.
Why does your heart take you away? And why are your eyes high?
13 That you will turn against God spirit your and you will bring out from mouth your words.
Do you turn your spirit against God? And have brought out 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 is pure, And that he is righteous, one born of woman?
15 There! (in holy [ones] his *Q(K)*) not he trusts and [the] heavens not they are pure in view his.
Behold, He puts no credence in His holy ones, And the heavens have not been pure in His eyes.
16 Indeed? for [one who] is abhorrent and [one who] is corrupt a person [who] drinks like water unrighteousness.
Also—surely abominable and filthy Is man drinking perverseness as water.
17 I will tell you listen to me and what I have seen and I will recount.
I show you—listen to me—And this I have seen and declare,
18 [that] which Wise [people] they have told and not they have hidden from ancestors their.
Which the wise declare—And have not hid—from their fathers.
19 To them to alone them it was given the land and not he passed a stranger in midst their.
To them alone was the land given, And a stranger did not pass over into their midst:
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 [the] days of the wicked he is paining himself, And few years have been laid up for the terrible one.
21 [the] sound of Dread [is] in ears his in peace a destroyer he will come to him.
A fearful voice [is] in his ears, In peace a destroyer comes to him.
22 Not he believes to return from darkness (and [is] watched *Q(k)*) he to [the] sword.
He does not believe to return from darkness, And he watches for the sword.
23 [is] wandering He for food where? he knows - that [has been] prepared in hand his a day of darkness.
He is wandering for bread: Where [is] it? He has known that ready at his hand Is a day of darkness.
24 They terrify him anxiety and distress it overpowers him like a king - ready for battle.
Adversity and distress terrify him, They prevail over him as a king ready for a boaster.
25 For he has stretched out against God hand his and to [the] Almighty he behaves proudly.
For he stretched out his hand against God, And against the Mighty he makes himself mighty.
26 He runs against him with a neck with [the] thickness of [the] bosses of shields his.
He runs to Him with a neck, With thick bosses of his shields.
27 For he has covered face his with fat his and he has made fat on loins.
For he has covered his face with his fat, And makes vigor over [his] confidence.
28 And he dwelt - cities destroyed houses [which] not people will dwell themselves which they are destined for heaps of stones.
And he inhabits cities cut off, houses not dwelt in, That have been ready 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 is not rich, nor does his wealth rise, Nor does he stretch out their continuance on 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 does not turn aside from darkness, A flame dries up his tender branch, And he turns aside at the breath of His mouth!
31 May not he trust (in worthlessness *Q(K)*) he has been led astray for worthlessness it will be recompense his.
Do not let him put credence in vanity, He has been deceived, For vanity is his exchange.
32 On not day his it will be completed and palm branch his not it will grow luxuriant.
It is not completed in his day, And his bending branch is not green.
33 He will wrong like vine unripe grape[s] his and he will shed like olive tree blossom his.
He shakes off his unripe fruit as a vine, And casts off his blossom as an olive.
34 For a company of [the] godless [is] barren and fire it consumes [the] tents of a bribe.
For the company of the profane [is] barren, And fire has consumed tents of bribery.
35 They conceive trouble and they give birth to wickedness and belly their it prepares deceit.
To conceive misery, and to bear iniquity, Even their heart prepares deceit.”
