[1] Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered,
[2] “Should a wise man answer with vain knowledge,
and fill himself with the east wind?
[3] Should he reason with unprofitable talk,
or with speeches with which he can do no good?
[4] Yes, you do away with fear,
and hinder devotion before God.
[5] For your iniquity teaches your mouth,
and you choose the language of the crafty.
[6] Your own mouth condemns you, and not I.
Yes, your own lips testify against you. [7] “Are you the first man who was born?
Or were you brought out before the hills?
[8] Have you heard the secret counsel of God?
Do you limit wisdom to yourself?
[9] What do you know that we don’t know?
What do you understand which is not in us?
[10] With us are both the gray-headed and the very aged men,
much older than your father.
[11] Are the consolations of God too small for you,
even the word that is gentle toward you?
[12] Why does your heart carry you away?
Why do your eyes flash,
[13] that you turn your spirit against God,
and let such words go out of your mouth?
[14] What is man, that he should be clean?
What is he who is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?
[15] Behold, he puts no trust in his holy ones.
Yes, the heavens are not clean in his sight;
[16] how much less one who is abominable and corrupt,
a man who drinks iniquity like water! [17] “I will show you, listen to me;
that which I have seen I will declare
[18] (which wise men have told by their fathers,
and have not hidden it;
[19] to whom alone the land was given,
and no stranger passed among them):
[20] the wicked man writhes in pain all his days,
even the number of years that are laid up for the oppressor.
[21] A sound of terrors is in his ears.
In prosperity the destroyer will come on him.
[22] He doesn’t believe that he will return out of darkness.
He is waited for by the sword.
[23] He wanders abroad for bread, saying, ‘Where is it?’
He knows that the day of darkness is ready at his hand.
[24] Distress and anguish make him afraid.
They prevail against him, as a king ready to the battle.
[25] Because he has stretched out his hand against God,
and behaves himself proudly against the Almighty,
[26] he runs at him with a stiff neck,
with the thick shields of his bucklers,
[27] because he has covered his face with his fatness,
and gathered fat on his thighs.
[28] He has lived in desolate cities,
in houses which no one inhabited,
which were ready to become heaps.
[29] He will not be rich, neither will his substance continue,
neither will their possessions be extended on the earth.
[30] He will not depart out of darkness.
The flame will dry up his branches.
He will go away by the breath of God’s mouth.
[31] Let him not trust in emptiness, deceiving himself,
for emptiness will be his reward.
[32] It will be accomplished before his time.
His branch will not be green.
[33] He will shake off his unripe grape as the vine,
and will cast off his flower as the olive tree.
[34] For the company of the godless will be barren,
and fire will consume the tents of bribery.
[35] They conceive mischief and produce iniquity.
Their heart prepares deceit.”
King James Version

Eliphaz Speaks

[1] Then answered H6030 Eliphaz H464 the Temanite, H8489 and said, H559
[2] Should a wise man H2450 utter H6030 vain H7307 knowledge, H1847§
And fill H4390 his belly H990 with the east wind? H6921
[3] Should he reason H3198 with unprofitable H5532 talk? H1697
Or with speeches H4405 wherewith he can do no good? H3276
[4] Yea, thou castest off H6565 fear, H3374
And restrainest H1639 prayer H7881§ before H6440 God. H410
[5] For H3588 thy mouth H6310 uttereth H502§ thine iniquity, H5771
And thou choosest H977 the tongue H3956 of the crafty. H6175
[6] Thine own mouth H6310 condemneth H7561 thee, and not I:
Yea, thine own lips H8193 testify H6030 against thee.
[7] Art thou the first H7223 H7223 man H120 that was born? H3205
Or wast thou made H2342 before H6440 the hills? H1389
[8] Hast thou heard H8085 the secret H5475 of God? H433
And dost thou restrain H1639 wisdom H2451 to thyself?
[9] What H4100 knowest H3045 thou, that we know H3045 not?
What understandest H995 thou, which is not in us?
[10] With us are both the grayheaded H7867 and very aged H3453 men,
Much H3524 elder H3117 than thy father. H1
[11] Are the consolations H8575 of God H410 small H4592 with H5973 thee?
Is there any secret H328 thing H1697 with thee?
[12] Why doth thine heart H3820 carry thee away? H3947
And what do thy eyes H5869 wink at, H7335
[13] That thou turnest H7725 thy spirit H7307 against God, H410
And lettest such words H4405 go out H3318 of thy mouth? H6310
[14] What is man, H582 that he should be clean? H2135
And he which is born H3205 of a woman, H802 that he should be righteous? H6663
[15] Behold, he putteth no trust H539 in his saints; H6918
Yea, the heavens H8064 are not clean H2141 in his sight. H5869
[16] How much more abominable H8581 and filthy H444 is man, H376
Which drinketh H8354 iniquity H5766 H5766 like water? H4325
[17] I will shew H2331 thee, hear H8085 me;
And that which I have seen H2372 I will declare; H5608
[18] Which H834 wise H2450 men have told H5046
From their fathers, H1 and have not hid H3582 it:
[19] Unto whom alone the earth H776 was given, H5414
And no stranger H2114 passed H5674 among H8432 them.
[20] The wicked H7563 man travaileth H2342 with pain all his days, H3117
And the number H4557 of years H8141 is hidden H6845 to the oppressor. H6184
[21] A dreadful H6343 sound H6963§ is in his ears: H241
In prosperity H7965 the destroyer H7703 shall come H935 upon him.
[22] He believeth H539 not H3808 that he shall return H7725 out of H4480 darkness, H2822
And he is waited H6822 for of the sword. H2719
[23] He wandereth abroad H5074 for H3588 bread, H3899 saying, Where is it?
He knoweth H3045 that the day H3117 of darkness H2822 is ready H3559 at his hand. H3027
[24] Trouble H6862 and anguish H4691 shall make him afraid; H1204
They shall prevail H8630 against him, as a king H4428 ready H6264 to the battle. H3593
[25] For H3588 he stretcheth out H5186 his hand H3027 against God, H410
And strengtheneth H1396 himself against the Almighty. H7706
[26] He runneth H7323 upon him, even on his neck, H6677
Upon the thick H5672 bosses H1354 of his bucklers: H4043
[27] Because H3588 he covereth H3680 his face H6440 with his fatness, H2459
And maketh H6213 collops of fat H6371 on his flanks. H3689
[28] And he dwelleth H7931 in desolate H3582 cities, H5892
And in houses H1004 which no man inhabiteth, H3427
Which are ready H6257 to become heaps. H1530
[29] He shall H6238 not H3808 be rich, H6238 neither shall his substance H2428 continue, H6965
Neither shall he prolong H5186 the perfection H4512 thereof upon the earth. H776
[30] He shall H5493 not H3808 depart H5493 out of H4480 darkness; H2822
The flame H7957 shall dry up H3001 his branches, H3127
And by the breath H7307 of his mouth H6310 shall he go away. H5493
[31] Let not him that is deceived H8582 trust H539 in vanity: H7723
For H3588 vanity H7723 shall be his recompence. H8545
[32] It shall be accomplished H4390§ before H3808 his time, H3117
And his branch H3712 shall H7488 not H3808 be green. H7488
[33] He shall shake off H2554 his unripe grape H1154 as the vine, H1612
And shall cast off H7993 his flower H5328 as the olive. H2132
[34] For H3588 the congregation H5712 of hypocrites H2611 shall be desolate, H1565
And fire H784 shall consume H398 the tabernacles H168 of bribery. H7810
[35] They conceive H2029 mischief, H5999 and bring forth H3205 vanity, H205§
And their belly H990 prepareth H3559 deceit. H4820
