< Job 15 >

1 Then Eliphaz replied to Job:
And he answered Eliphaz the Temanite and he said.
2 “If you were truly wise [RHQ], you would not have replied to us by claiming that you know a lot; what you are saying is just a lot of hot air [MET].
¿ A wise [person] does he answer knowledge of wind so may he fill? east wind belly his.
3 You should not [RHQ] be saying things that do not benefit anyone, using words that do no one any good.
Does he argue? with a word [which] not it is of use and words [which] not anyone profits by them.
4 [By what you say, ] you show that you do not revere God, and you are hindering people from meditating/thinking about God.
Also you you annul fear so you may diminish meditation before God.
5 [It is as though] your sins are telling you what to say; you talk like people who will not admit that they are wicked.
For it teaches iniquity your mouth your so you may choose [the] tongue of crafty [people].
6 Everything that you say [MTY] shows that you should be punished; so, it is not necessary for me to show that.
It condemns as guilty you own mouth your and not I and own lips your they testify against you.
7 [“Tell me do you know more than everyone else because you think that] you are the first person who was ever born? [SAR, RHQ] Were you born before the hills [were created]?
¿ First human being were you born and before [the] hills were you brought forth?
8 Were you listening when God made all his plans? [SAR, RHQ] Or do you think that you are the only person who is wise?
¿ In [the] council of God do you listen and you may restrain? to yourself wisdom.
9 (What do you know that we do not know?/You do not know anything that we do not know.) [RHQ] You do not understand [RHQ] anything that is not also clear to us.
What? do you know and not we know do you understand? and not [is] with us it.
10 My friends and I are also wise; we acquired [wisdom] from old gray-haired people, from people who were born before your father was born.
Both [the] gray haired as well as [the] aged [are] among us [those] old more than father your days.
11 God wants to comfort you, and to speak gently/kindly to you; (is that not enough for you/do you need more than that)?
¿ [too] little For you [are] [the] consolations of God and a word to gentleness with you.
12 Why do you allow yourself to be (carried away/excited) by your emotions? Why are [you very angry, with the result that] your eyes flash?
Why? does it carry away you heart your and why? do they flash! eyes your.
13 You are angry [IDM] with God, and so you [MTY] are criticizing/denouncing him.
That you will turn against God spirit your and you will bring out from mouth your words.
14 “(How can any person, [including you, ] be sinless?/No person, [including you], can be sinless.) [RHQ] (How can anyone on the earth be [completely] righteous?/No one on the earth can be [completely] righteous.) [RHQ]
What? [is] a person that he will be pure and that he will be righteous [one] born of a woman.
15 Hey, God does not even trust his angels; he does not consider even them to be [completely] pure.
There! (in holy [ones] his *Q(K)*) not he trusts and [the] heavens not they are pure in view his.
16 So, he certainly does not [trust] abominable/disgusting and depraved/corrupt people who do evil things [as easily] as they drink water [MET].
Indeed? for [one who] is abhorrent and [one who] is corrupt a person [who] drinks like water unrighteousness.
17 Job, listen to what I will tell you. I will declare to you what I know,
I will tell you listen to me and what I have seen and I will recount.
18 things that wise men have told me, truths that their ancestors did not keep hidden.
[that] which Wise [people] they have told and not they have hidden from ancestors their.
19 God gave this land to those ancestors, who were truly wise; no one from another country caused them to think wrongly [IDM].
To them to alone them it was given the land and not he passed a stranger in midst their.
20 It is wicked people who suffer with great pain all the time that they are alive; that is what happens to those who (oppress/act violently toward) others.
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].
21 They constantly hear sounds that terrify them; while they are prospering, bandits attack them.
[the] sound of Dread [is] in ears his in peace a destroyer he will come to him.
22 Wicked people surely know that they will not escape from darkness/death, because [they are sure that someone] is waiting to kill them with a sword.
Not he believes to return from darkness (and [is] watched *Q(k)*) he to [the] sword.
23 They wander around, searching for food, saying ‘Where can I find some?’ And they know that they will soon experience disasters.
[is] wandering He for food where? he knows - that [has been] prepared in hand his a day of darkness.
24 Because they are afraid of those things happening to them, they are afraid and worry that these things will come to them like [the army of] a king comes to attack [their enemies and cause them to suffer] [SIM].
They terrify him anxiety and distress it overpowers him like a king - ready for battle.
25 [Those things happen to them] because they (shook their fists/dared to fight) against Almighty God, and thought that they were strong enough to defeat him.
For he has stretched out against God hand his and to [the] Almighty he behaves proudly.
26 They stubbornly [IDM] rush to attack God [as though they were carrying] a strong shield [to protect themselves].
He runs against him with a neck with [the] thickness of [the] bosses of shields his.
27 They are so fat [that they are unable to fight].
For he has covered face his with fat his and he has made fat on loins.
28 They will live in cities that have been abandoned, cities which have become a heap of ruins.
And he dwelt - cities destroyed houses [which] not people will dwell themselves which they are destined for heaps of stones.
29 But they will not remain rich very long; Everything that they own will be taken from them; their possessions will all disappear.
Not he will be rich and not it will endure wealth his and not it will stretch out to the land property their.
30 They will not escape from the darkness [of death]; they will be like trees whose branches are burned by fire and whose blossoms are blown away by the wind.
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.
31 Since they are very foolish, with the result that they trust in things that are really worthless, then things that are worthless will be all that they get.
May not he trust (in worthlessness *Q(K)*) he has been led astray for worthlessness it will be recompense his.
32 Before they are old, they will wither; they will be like [MET] branches that wither and never become green again.
On not day his it will be completed and palm branch his not it will grow luxuriant.
33 They will be like [SIM] vines whose grapes fall off before they are ripe, like olive trees whose blossoms fall off before they produce any fruit.
He will wrong like vine unripe grape[s] his and he will shed like olive tree blossom his.
34 Wicked/godless people will not have any descendants, and fires will completely burn up the homes of [those who built those homes using] money they received from bribes.
For a company of [the] godless [is] barren and fire it consumes [the] tents of a bribe.
35 They plan to cause trouble and to do evil things, and they are always preparing to deceive people.”
They conceive trouble and they give birth to wickedness and belly their it prepares deceit.
