Job - Chapter: 15


15:1	Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite, and said,
15:2	Should a wise man utter vain knowledge, and fill his belly with the east wind?
15:3	Should he reason with unprofitable talk? or with speeches wherewith he can do no good?
15:4	Yea, thou castest off fear, and restrainest prayer before God.
15:5	For thy mouth uttereth thine iniquity, and thou choosest the tongue of the crafty.
15:6	Thine own mouth condemneth thee, and not I: yea, thine own lips testify against thee.
15:7	Art thou the first man that was born? or wast thou made before the hills?
15:8	Hast thou heard the secret of God? and dost thou restrain wisdom to thyself?
15:9	What knowest thou, that we know not? what understandest thou, which is not in us?
15:10	With us are both the grayheaded and very aged men, much elder than thy father.
15:11	Are the consolations of God small with thee? is there any secret thing with thee?
15:12	Why doth thine heart carry thee away? and what do thy eyes wink at,
15:13	That thou turnest thy spirit against God, and lettest such words go out of thy mouth?
15:14	What is man, that he should be clean? and he which is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?
15:15	Behold, he putteth no trust in his saints; yea, the heavens are not clean in his sight.
15:16	How much more abominable and filthy is man, which drinketh iniquity like water?
15:17	I will shew thee, hear me; and that which I have seen I will declare;
15:18	Which wise men have told from their fathers, and have not hid it:
15:19	Unto whom alone the earth was given, and no stranger passed among them.
15:20	The wicked man travaileth with pain all his days, and the number of years is hidden to the oppressor.
15:21	A dreadful sound is in his ears: in prosperity the destroyer shall come upon him.
15:22	He believeth not that he shall return out of darkness, and he is waited for of the sword.
15:23	He wandereth abroad for bread, saying, Where is it? he knoweth that the day of darkness is ready at his hand.
15:24	Trouble and anguish shall make him afraid; they shall prevail against him, as a king ready to the battle.
15:25	For he stretcheth out his hand against God, and strengtheneth himself against the Almighty.
15:26	He runneth upon him, even on his neck, upon the thick bosses of his bucklers:
15:27	Because he covereth his face with his fatness, and maketh collops of fat on his flanks.
15:28	And he dwelleth in desolate cities, and in houses which no man inhabiteth, which are ready to become heaps.
15:29	He shall not be rich, neither shall his substance continue, neither shall he prolong the perfection thereof upon the earth.
15:30	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.
15:31	Let not him that is deceived trust in vanity: for vanity shall be his recompence.
15:32	It shall be accomplished before his time, and his branch shall not be green.
15:33	He shall shake off his unripe grape as the vine, and shall cast off his flower as the olive.
15:34	For the congregation of hypocrites shall be desolate, and fire shall consume the tabernacles of bribery.
15:35	They conceive mischief, and bring forth vanity, and their belly prepareth deceit.


15:1	ויען אליפז התימני ויאמר׃
15:2	החכם יענה דעת רוח וימלא קדים בטנו׃
15:3	הוכח בדבר לא יסכון ומלים לא יועיל׃
15:4	אף אתה תפר יראה ותגרע שׂיחה לפני אל׃
15:5	כי יאלף עונך פיך ותבחר לשׁון ערומים׃
15:6	ירשׁיעך פיך ולא אני ושׂפתיך יענו׃
15:7	הראישׁון אדם תולד ולפני גבעות חוללת׃
15:8	הבסוד אלוה תשׁמע ותגרע אליך חכמה׃
15:9	מה ידעת ולא נדע תבין ולא עמנו הוא׃
15:10	גם שׂב גם ישׁישׁ בנו כביר מאביך ימים׃
15:11	המעט ממך תנחמות אל ודבר לאט עמך׃
15:12	מה יקחך לבך ומה ירזמון עיניך׃
15:13	כי תשׁיב אל אל רוחך והצאת מפיך מלין׃
15:14	מה אנושׁ כי יזכה וכי יצדק ילוד אשׁה׃
15:15	הן בקדשׁו לא יאמין ושׁמים לא זכו בעיניו׃
15:16	אף כי נתעב ונאלח אישׁ שׁתה כמים עולה׃
15:17	אחוך שׁמע לי וזה חזיתי ואספרה׃
15:18	אשׁר חכמים יגידו ולא כחדו מאבותם׃
15:19	להם לבדם נתנה הארץ ולא עבר זר בתוכם׃
15:20	כל ימי רשׁע הוא מתחולל ומספר שׁנים נצפנו לעריץ׃
15:21	קול פחדים באזניו בשׁלום שׁודד יבואנו׃
15:22	לא יאמין שׁוב מני חשׁך וצפו הוא אלי חרב׃
15:23	נדד הוא ללחם איה ידע כי נכון בידו יום חשׁך׃
15:24	יבעתהו צר ומצוקה תתקפהו כמלך עתיד לכידור׃
15:25	כי נטה אל אל ידו ואל שׁדי יתגבר׃
15:26	ירוץ אליו בצואר בעבי גבי מגניו׃
15:27	כי כסה פניו בחלבו ויעשׂ פימה עלי כסל׃
15:28	וישׁכון ערים נכחדות בתים לא ישׁבו למו אשׁר התעתדו לגלים׃
15:29	לא יעשׁר ולא יקום חילו ולא יטה לארץ מנלם׃
15:30	לא יסור מני חשׁך ינקתו תיבשׁ שׁלהבת ויסור ברוח פיו׃
15:31	אל יאמן בשׁו נתעה כי שׁוא תהיה תמורתו׃
15:32	בלא יומו תמלא וכפתו לא רעננה׃
15:33	יחמס כגפן בסרו וישׁלך כזית נצתו׃
15:34	כי עדת חנף גלמוד ואשׁ אכלה אהלי שׁחד׃
15:35	הרה עמל וילד און ובטנם תכין מרמה׃


15:1	And Eliphaz the Temanite answereth and saith: --
15:2	Doth a wise man answer `with' vain knowledge? And fill `with' an east wind his belly?
15:3	To reason with a word not useful? And speeches -- no profit in them?
15:4	Yea, thou dost make reverence void, And dost diminish meditation before God.
15:5	For thy mouth teacheth thine iniquity, And thou chooseth the tongue of the subtile.
15:6	Thy mouth declareth thee wicked, and not I, And thy lips testify against thee.
15:7	The first man art thou born? And before the heights wast thou formed?
15:8	Of the secret counsel of God dost thou hear? And withdrawest thou unto thee wisdom?
15:9	What hast thou known, and we know not? Understandest thou -- and it is not with us?
15:10	Both the gray-headed And the very aged `are' among us -- Greater than thy father `in' days.
15:11	Too few for thee are the comforts of God? And a gentle word `is' with thee,
15:12	What -- doth thine heart take thee away? And what -- are thine eyes high?
15:13	For thou turnest against God thy spirit? And hast brought out words from thy mouth:
15:14	What `is' man that he is pure, And that he is righteous, one born of woman?
15:15	Lo, in His holy ones He putteth no credence, And the heavens have not been pure in His eyes.
15:16	Also -- surely abominable and filthy Is man drinking as water perverseness.
15:17	I shew thee -- hearken to me -- And this I have seen and declare:
15:18	Which the wise declare -- And have not hid -- from their fathers.
15:19	To them alone was the land given, And a stranger passed not over into their midst:
15:20	`All days of the wicked he is paining himself, And few years have been laid up for the terrible one.
15:21	A fearful voice `is' in his ears, In peace doth a destroyer come to him.
15:22	He believeth not to return from darkness, And watched `is' he for the sword.
15:23	He is wandering for bread -- `Where `is' it?' He hath known that ready at his hand Is a day of darkness.
15:24	Terrify him do adversity and distress, They prevail over him As a king ready for a boaster.
15:25	For he stretched out against God his hand, And against the Mighty he maketh himself mighty.
15:26	He runneth unto Him with a neck, With thick bosses of his shields.
15:27	For he hath covered his face with his fat, And maketh vigour over `his' confidence.
15:28	And he inhabiteth cities cut off, houses not dwelt in, That have been ready to become heaps.
15:29	He is not rich, nor doth his wealth rise, Nor doth he stretch out on earth their continuance.
15:30	He turneth not aside from darkness, His tender branch doth a flame dry up, And he turneth aside at the breath of His mouth!
15:31	Let him not put credence in vanity, He hath been deceived, For vanity is his recompence.
15:32	Not in his day is it completed, And his bending branch is not green.
15:33	He shaketh off as a vine his unripe fruit, And casteth off as an olive his blossom.
15:34	For the company of the profane `is' gloomy, And fire hath consumed tents of bribery.
15:35	To conceive misery, and to bear iniquity, Even their heart doth prepare deceit.
