1 And Eliphaz the Temanite answereth and saith: —
And he answered Eliphaz the Temanite and he said.
2 To God is a man profitable, Because a wise man to himself is profitable?
¿ To God will he be of use a man for will he be of use? on him a wise [person].
3 Is it a delight to the Mighty One That thou art righteous? is it gain, That thou makest perfect thy ways?
¿ [does] pleasure [belong] to [the] Almighty That you are righteous and or? profit that you make blameless ways your.
4 Because of thy reverence Doth He reason [with] thee? He entereth with thee into judgment:
¿ From fear your does he reprove you does he go? with you in judgment.
5 Is not thy wickedness abundant? And there is no end to thine iniquities.
¿ Not [is] evil your great and not? an end [belongs] to iniquities your.
6 For thou takest a pledge of thy brother for nought, And the garments of the naked Thou dost strip off.

9 Widows thou hast sent away empty, And the arms of the fatherless are bruised.

13 And thou hast said, 'What — hath God known? Through thickness doth He judge?
And you say what? does he know God ¿ through thick darkness will he judge.
14 Thick clouds [are] a secret place to Him, And He doth not see;' And the circle of the heavens He walketh habitually,
Clouds [are] a hiding place of him and not he will see and [the] circle of heaven he walks about.
15 The path of the age dost thou observe, That men of iniquity have trodden?
¿ A path of antiquity will you keep which they have trodden men of wickedness.
16 Who have been cut down unexpectedly, A flood is poured out on their foundation.
Who they were snatched away and not an appropriate time a river it was poured out foundation their.
17 Those saying to God, 'Turn aside from us,' And what doth the Mighty One to them?
Who were saying to God depart from us and what? will he do [the] Almighty to them.
18 And he hath filled their houses [with] good: (And the counsel of the wicked Hath been far from me.)

21 Acquaint thyself, I pray thee, with Him, And be at peace, Thereby thine increase [is] good.
Be reconciled please with him and be at peace by them it will come to you good.
22 Receive, I pray thee, from His mouth a law, And set His sayings in thy heart.
Accept please from mouth his instruction and put words his in heart your.
23 If thou dost return unto the Mighty Thou art built up, Thou puttest iniquity far from thy tents.
If you will return to [the] Almighty you will be built up you will remove injustice from tent your.
24 So as to set on the dust a defence, And on a rock of the valleys a covering.
And put on [the] dust gold and among [the] rock[s] of wadis gold of Ophir.
25 And the Mighty hath been thy defence, And silver [is] strength to thee.
And he will be [the] Almighty gold your and silver of heaps for you.
26 For then on the Mighty thou delightest thyself, And dost lift up unto God thy face,
For then on [the] Almighty you will take delight and you may lift up to God face your.
27 Thou dost make supplication unto Him, And He doth hear thee, And thy vows thou completest.
You will pray to him and he will hear you and vows your you will pay.
28 And thou decreest a saying, And it is established to thee, And on thy ways hath light shone.
And you may decide a matter and it may be fulfilled for you and on ways your it will shine light.
29 For they have made low, And thou sayest, 'Lift up.' And the bowed down of eyes he saveth.
If people brought low and you said up! and [the] lowly of eyes he will save.
30 He delivereth the not innocent, Yea, he hath been delivered By the cleanness of thy hands.
He will deliver not an innocent [person] and he will be delivered by [the] cleanness of hands your.
