< Job 15 >

1 And he answered Eliphaz the Temanite and he said.
Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered,
2 ¿ A wise [person] does he answer knowledge of wind so may he fill? east wind belly his.
"Should a wise man answer with vain knowledge, and fill himself 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 unprofitable talk, or with speeches with which he can do no good?
4 Also you you annul fear so you may diminish meditation before God.
Yes, you do away with fear, and hinder devotion before God.
5 For it teaches iniquity your mouth your so you may choose [the] tongue of crafty [people].
For your iniquity teaches your mouth, and you choose the language 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. Yes, 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 who was born? Or were you brought forth before the hills?
8 ¿ In [the] council of God do you listen and you may restrain? to yourself wisdom.
Have you heard the secret counsel of God? Do you limit wisdom to yourself?
9 What? do you know and not we know do you understand? and not [is] with us it.

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 gray-headed and the 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 too small for you, even the word that is gentle toward you?
12 Why? does it carry away you heart your and why? do they flash! eyes your.
Why does your heart carry you away? Why do your eyes flash,
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? What is he who 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.
Look, he puts no trust in his holy ones. Yes, 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 less one who is abominable and corrupt, a man who 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, listen to me; that which I have seen I will declare:
18 [that] which Wise [people] they have told and not they have hidden from ancestors their.

19 To them to alone them it was given the land and not he passed a stranger in midst their.

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 writhes in pain all his days, even the number of years that are laid up for the oppressor.
21 [the] sound of Dread [is] in ears his in peace a destroyer he will come to him.
A sound of terrors is in his ears. In prosperity the destroyer shall come on him.
22 Not he believes to return from darkness (and [is] watched *Qk) he to [the] sword.
He doesn't believe that he shall return out of darkness. He is waited for by 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.
Distress and anguish make him afraid. They 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.
Because he has stretched out his hand against God, and behaves himself proudly against Shaddai;
26 He runs against him with a neck with [the] thickness of [the] bosses of shields his.
he runs at him with a stiff neck, with the thick shields of his bucklers;
27 For he has covered face his with fat his and he has made fat on loins.
because he has covered his face with his fatness, and gathered fat on his thighs.
28 And he dwelt - cities destroyed houses [which] not people will dwell themselves which they are destined for heaps of stones.
He has lived in desolate cities, in houses which no one inhabited, which were 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 their possessions be extended on 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. By the breath of God's 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 him not trust in emptiness, deceiving himself; for emptiness shall be his reward.
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. 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 tree.
34 For a company of [the] godless [is] barren and fire it consumes [the] tents of a bribe.
For the company of the godless shall be barren, and fire shall consume the tents of bribery.
35 They conceive trouble and they give birth to wickedness and belly their it prepares deceit.
They conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity. Their heart prepares deceit."
