JOB C1 C2 C3 C4 C5 C6 C7 C8 C9 C10 C11 C12 C13 C14 C15 C16 C17 C18 C19 C20 C21 C22 C23 C24 C25 C26 C27 C28 C29 C30 C31 C32 C33 C34 C35 C36 C37 C38 C39 C40 C41 C42
15 Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said:
2 Would a wise man pour forth windy answers
Or fill with the east wind his breast?
3 Would he reason with profitless words
And with speech that is all unavailing?
4 See! thou art destroying religion,
Disturbing devout contemplation.
5 Thy guilt instructeth thy mouth,
And thou choosest the tongue of the crafty.
6 Thine own mouth condems thee – not I,
And thine own lips are witness against thee.
7 Wast thou the first man to be born?
Wast thou fashioned before the hills?
8 Wast thou one of the heavenly council?
Was wisdom revealed unto thee?
9 What knowest thou that we know not?
What insight is thine and not ours?
10 With us are the grey and the aged,
More mighty in years than thy father.
11 Dost thou spurn the divine consolations,
The word that dealt with thee so gently?
12 How fierce the emotions that sweep thee!
And how thou flashest thine eyes,
13 As thou turnest thy breath against God
Into words from thy rebel lips!
14 What is man that he should be clean,
Or just – one of woman born?
15 See! He putteth no trust in His saints,
And the heavens are not clean in His sight:
16 How much less one abhorrent and tainted–
A man that drinks evil like water!
17 Now listen to what I will show thee,
The thing I have seen I will tell–
18 Even tales that were told by the wise
And not hidden from them by their fathers,
19 Who had the land all to themselves,
When no stranger had yet come among them.
20 All his days is the wicked in pain,
All the years for the tyrant appointed.
21 In his ears is the sound of terrors,
In peace comes the spoiler upon him.
22 He cannot escape from the darkness
And he is reserved for the sword.
23 Appointed as food for the vulture–
He knows that his doom is at hand.
The day of darkness appals him;
24a Constraint and distress overpower him;
25 For he stretched out his hand against God,
Played the warrior against the Almighty,
26 Running against Him stiff-necked
With the thick of the boss of his bucklers,
24b Like a king prepared for the onset.
27 He covered his face with his fat,
He set thick folds of flesh on his loins;
28 And he dwelt in desolate cities,
In houses that none should inhabit.
What he has won, others shall capture,
29 His substance shall not endure.
On the earth he shall cast no shadow.
30b The fierce heat shall wither his branches,
30c His fruit shall the wind whirl away.
31 Let him not trust his plant when it shoots,
For the branch thereof shall be vanity.
32 It shall wither before its time,
Or ever its fronds become green.
33 His grapes he shall shed like the vine,
And cast off like the olive his blossom.
34 For a barren tribe are the godless;
Tents of bribery the fire shall consume.
35 Big with mischief, they bring forth sin,
And their belly matures with deceit.
