< Job 15 >

1 And he answered Eliphaz the Temanite and he said.
Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite, and said,
2 ¿ A wise [person] does he answer knowledge of wind so may he fill? east wind belly his.
Should a wise man utter vain 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.
Should he reason with useless talk? or with speeches wherewith he can do no good?
4 Also you you annul fear so you may diminish meditation before God.
Yea, you cast off fear, and restrain prayer before God.
5 For it teaches iniquity your mouth your so you may choose [the] tongue of crafty [people].
For your mouth utters your iniquity, and you choose 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.
your own mouth condemns you, and not I: yea, your own lips testify against you.
7 ¿ First human being were you born and before [the] hills were you brought forth?
Are you the first man that was born? or were you made before the hills?
8 ¿ In [the] council of God do you listen and you may restrain? to yourself wisdom.
Have you heard the secret of God? and do you restrain wisdom to yourself?
9 What? do you know and not we know do you understand? and not [is] with us it.
What know you, that we know not? what understand you, 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.
With us are both the grayheaded and very aged men, much elder than your father.
11 ¿ [too] little For you [are] [the] consolations of God and a word to gentleness with you.
Are the consolations of God small with you? is there any secret thing with you?
12 Why? does it carry away you heart your and why? do they flash! eyes your.
Why does your heart carry you away? and what do your eyes overlook,
13 That you will turn against God spirit your and you will bring out from mouth your words.
That you turn your spirit against God, and let such words go out of 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 should be clean? and he which is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?
15 There! (in holy [ones] his *QK) not he trusts and [the] heavens not they are pure in eyes his.
Behold, he puts no trust in his saints; yea, the heavens are not clean in his sight.
16 Indeed? for [one who] is abhorrent and [one who] is corrupt a person [who] drinks like water unrighteousness.
How much more abominable and filthy is man, which drinks iniquity like water?
17 I will tell you listen to me and what I have seen and I will recount.
I will show you, hear me; and that which 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 hid it:
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].
The wicked man labors with pain all his days, and the number of years is hidden to the oppressor.
21 [the] sound of Dread [is] in ears his in peace a destroyer he will come to him.
A dreadful sound is in his ears: in prosperity the destroyer shall come upon him.
22 Not he believes to return from darkness (and [is] watched *Qk) he to [the] sword.
He believes not that he shall return out of darkness, and he is waited for of the sword.
23 [is] wandering He for food where? he knows - that [has been] prepared in hand his a day of darkness.
He wanders abroad for bread, saying, Where is it? he knows 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.
Trouble and anguish shall make him afraid; they shall prevail against him, as a king ready to the battle.
25 For he has stretched out against God hand his and to [the] Almighty he behaves proudly.
For he stretches out his hand against God, and strengthens himself against the Almighty.
26 He runs against him with a neck with [the] thickness of [the] bosses of shields his.
He runs upon him, even on his neck, upon the thick bosses of his bucklers:
27 For he has covered face his with fat his and he has made fat on loins.
Because he covers his face with his fatness, and makes fatness on 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 dwells in desolate cities, and in houses which no man inhabits, which are 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 shall not be rich, neither shall his substance continue, neither shall he prolong the perfection thereof 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 *QK) he has been led astray for worthlessness it will be recompense his.
Let not him that is deceived trust in vanity: for vanity shall be his recompence.
32 On not day his it will be completed and palm branch his not it will grow luxuriant.
It shall be accomplished before his time, 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 grape as the vine, and shall cast off his flower as the olive.
34 For a company of [the] godless [is] barren and fire it consumes [the] tents of a bribe.
For the congregation of hypocrites shall be desolate, and fire shall consume the tabernacles of bribery.
35 They conceive trouble and they give birth to wickedness and belly their it prepares deceit.
They conceive mischief, and bring forth vanity, and their belly prepares deceit.
