Eliphaz Says Job Presumes Much
1 Then Eliphaz H464 the Temanite H8489 responded H6030 H559,
2 “Should a wise H2450 man H2450 answer H6030 with windy H7307 knowledge H1847,
And fill H4390 [fn]himself H990 with the east H6921 wind H6921?
3 “Should he argue H3198 with useless H3808 H5532 talk H1697,
Or with words H4405 which do not benefit H3276?
4 “Indeed H637, you do H6565 away H6565 with [fn]reverence H3374,
And hinder H1639 meditation H7881 before H6440 God H410.
5 “For your wrongdoing H5771 teaches H502 your mouth H6310,
And you choose H977 the language H3956 of the cunning H6175.
6 “Your own mouth H6310 condemns H7561 you, and not I;
And your own lips H8193 testify H6030 against you.
7 “Were you the first H7223 person H120 to be born H3205,
Or were you brought H2342 forth H2342 before H6440 the hills H1389?
8 “Do you hear H8085 the secret H5475 discussion H5475 of God H433,
And limit H1639 wisdom H2451 to yourself?
9 “What H4100 do you know H3045 that we do not know H3045?
What do you understand H995 that [fn]we do not?
10 “Both H1571 the gray-haired H7867 and the aged H3453 are among us,
Older H3524 H3117 than H4480 your father H1.
11 “Are the consolations H8575 of God H410 too H4480 little H4592 for you,
Or the word H1697 spoken gently H328 to you?
12 “Why H4100 does your heart H3820 take H3947 you away?
And why H4100 do your eyes H5869 wink H7335,
13 That you can turn H7725 your spirit H7307 against H413 God H410
And produce H3318 such words H4405 from your mouth H6310?
14 “What H4100 is man H582, that he would be H2135 pure H2135,
Or he who is born H3205 of a woman H802, that he would be H6663 righteous H6663?
15 “Behold H2005, He has H539 no H3808 trust H539 in His holy H6918 ones H6918,
And the heavens H8064 are not pure H2141 in His sight H5869;
16 How H637 much H637 H3588 less H637 one who is detestable H8581 and corrupt H444:
A person H376 who drinks H8354 [fn]malice H5766 like water H4325!
What Eliphaz Has Seen of Life
17 “I will tell H2331 you, listen H8085 to me;
And what H2088 I have seen H2372 I will also declare H5608;
18 What H834 wise H2450 people H2450 have told H5046,
And have not concealed H3582 from their fathers H1,
19 To whom H1992 alone H905 the land H776 was given H5414,
And no H3808 stranger H2114 passed H5674 among H8432 them.
20 “The wicked H7563 person H7563 writhes H2342 in H2342 pain H2342 all H3605 his days H3117,
And the [fn]years H8141 reserved H6845 for the ruthless H6184 are numbered H4557.
21 “[fn]Sounds H6963 of terror H6343 are in his ears H241;
While he is at peace H7965 the destroyer H7703 comes H935 upon him.
22 “He does not believe H539 that he will return H7725 from darkness H2822,
And he is destined H6822 for the sword H2719.
23 “He wanders H5074 about H5074 for food H3899, saying, ‘Where H346 is it?’
He knows H3045 that a day H3117 of darkness H2822 is [fn]at hand H3027.
24 “Distress H6862 and anguish H4691 terrify H1204 him,
They overpower H8630 him like a king H4428 ready H6264 for the attack H3593,
25 Because H3588 he has reached H5186 out H5186 with his hand H3027 against H413 God H410,
And is arrogant H1396 toward H413 [fn]the Almighty H7706.
26 “He rushes H7323 [fn]headlong H6677 at Him
With his [fn]massive H5672 H1354 shield H4043.
27 “For he has covered H3680 his face H6440 with his fat H2459,
And [fn]put H6213 fat H6371 on his waist H3689.
28 “He has lived H7931 in H7931 desolate H3582 cities H5892,
In houses H1004 no H3808 one would inhabit H3427,
Which H834 are destined H6257 to H6257 become H6257 [fn]ruins H1530.
29 “He will not become H6238 rich H6238, nor H3808 will his wealth H2428 endure H6965;
And his property H4512 will not stretch H5186 out H5186 on the earth H776.
30 “He will not [fn]escape H5493 from darkness H2822;
The flame H7957 will dry H3001 up H3001 his shoot H3127,
And he will go H5493 away H5493 by the breath H7307 of His mouth H6310.
31 “Let him not trust H539 in emptiness H7723, deceiving H8582 himself;
For his [fn]reward H8545 will be emptiness H7723.
32 “It will be accomplished H4390 before H3808 his time H3117,
And his palm H3712 branch H3712 will not be green H7488.
33 “He will drop H2554 off H2554 his unripe H1155 grape H1155 like the vine H1612,
And will cast H7993 off H7993 his flower H5328 like the olive H2132 tree H2132.
34 “For the company H5712 of the godless H2611 is barren H1565,
And fire H784 consumes H398 the tents H168 of [fn]the corrupt H7810.
35 “They conceive H2029 [fn]harm H5999 and give H3205 birth H3205 to wrongdoing H205,
