[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.”
[2] “Should a wise man answer with vain knowledge,

[1] Then answeredH6030(QalImpf) EliphazH464 the Temanite,H8489 and said,H559(QalImpf) [2] Should a wise manH2450 utterH6030(QalImpf) vainH7307 knowledge,H1847 and fillH4390(PielImpf) his bellyH990 with the east wind?H6921 [3] Should he reasonH3198(HiphInf) with unprofitableH5532(QalImpf) talk?H1697 or with speechesH4405 wherewith he can do no good?H3276(HiphImpf) [4] Yea, thou castest offH6565(HiphImpf) fear,H3374 and restrainestH1639(QalImpf) prayerH7881 beforeH6440 God.H410 [5] For thy mouthH6310 utterethH502(PielImpf) thine iniquity,H5771 and thou choosestH977(QalImpf) the tongueH3956 of the crafty.H6175 [6] Thine own mouthH6310 condemnethH7561(HiphImpf) thee, and not I: yea, thine own lipsH8193 testifyH6030(QalImpf) against thee. [7] [Art] thou the firstH7223(Qere) manH120 [that] was born?H3205(NiphImpf) or wast thou madeH2342(PulaPerf) beforeH6440 the hills?H1389 [8] Hast thou heardH8085(QalImpf) the secretH5475 of God?H433 and dost thou restrainH1639(QalImpf) wisdomH2451 to thyself? [9] What knowestH3045(QalPerf) thou, that we knowH3045(QalImpf) not? [what] understandestH995(QalImpf) thou, which [is] not in us? [10] With us [are] both the grayheadedH7867(QalActPtc) and very agedH3453 men, muchH3524 elderH3117 than thy father.H1 [11] [Are] the consolationsH8575 of GodH410 smallH4592 with thee? is there any secretH328 thingH1697 with thee? [12] Why doth thine heartH3820 carry thee away?H3947(QalImpf) and what do thy eyesH5869 wink at,H7335(QalImpf) [13] That thou turnestH7725(HiphImpf) thy spiritH7307 against God,H410 and lettest [such] wordsH4405 go outH3318(HiphPerf) of thy mouth?H6310 [14] What [is] man,H582 that he should be clean?H2135(QalImpf) and [he which is] bornH3205(QalPasPtc) of a woman,H802 that he should be righteous?H6663(QalImpf) [15] Behold, he putteth no trustH539(HiphImpf) in his saints;H6918 yea, the heavensH8064 are not cleanH2141(QalPerf) in his sight.H5869 [16] How much more abominableH8581(NiphPtc) and filthyH444(NiphPtc) [is] man,H376 which drinkethH8354(QalActPtc) iniquityH5766(Qere) like water?H4325 [17] I will shewH2331(PielImpf) thee, hearH8085(QalImpv) me; and that [which] I have seenH2372(QalPerf) I will declare;H5608(PielImpf) [18] Which wiseH2450 men have toldH5046(HiphImpf) from their fathers,H1 and have not hidH3582(PielPerf) [it]: [19] Unto whom alone the earthH776 was given,H5414(NiphPerf) and no strangerH2114(QalPtc) passedH5674(QalPerf) amongH8432 them. [20] The wickedH7563 man travailethH2342(HiplPtc) with pain all [his] days,H3117 and the numberH4557 of yearsH8141 is hiddenH6845(NiphPerf) to the oppressor.H6184 [21] A dreadfulH6343 soundH6963 [is] in his ears:H241 in prosperityH7965 the destroyerH7703(QalActPtc) shall comeH935(QalImpf) upon him. [22] He believethH539(HiphImpf) not that he shall returnH7725(QalInf) out of darkness,H2822 and he is waitedH6822(QalPasPtc) for of the sword.H2719 [23] He wandereth abroadH5074(QalActPtc) for bread,H3899 [saying], Where [is it]? he knowethH3045(QalPerf) that the dayH3117 of darknessH2822 is readyH3559(NiphPtc) at his hand.H3027 [24] TroubleH6862 and anguishH4691 shall make him afraid;H1204(PielImpf) they shall prevailH8630(QalImpf) against him, as a kingH4428 readyH6264 to the battle.H3593 [25] For he stretcheth outH5186(QalPerf) his handH3027 against God,H410 and strengthenethH1396(HithImpf) himself against the Almighty.H7706 [26] He runnethH7323(QalImpf) upon him, [even] on [his] neck,H6677 upon the thickH5672 bossesH1354 of his bucklers:H4043 [27] Because he coverethH3680(PielPerf) his faceH6440 with his fatness,H2459 and makethH6213(QalImpf) collops of fatH6371 on [his] flanks.H3689 [28] And he dwellethH7931(QalImpf) in desolateH3582(NiphPtc) cities,H5892 [and] in housesH1004 which no man inhabiteth,H3427(QalImpf) which are readyH6257(HithPerf) to become heaps.H1530 [29] He shall not be rich,H6238(QalImpf) neither shall his substanceH2428 continue,H6965(QalImpf) neither shall he prolongH5186(QalImpf) the perfectionH4512 thereof upon the earth.H776 [30] He shall not departH5493(QalImpf) out of darkness;H2822 the flameH7957 shall dry upH3001(PielImpf) his branches,H3127 and by the breathH7307 of his mouthH6310 shall he go away.H5493(QalImpf) [31] Let not him that is deceivedH8582(NiphPerf) trustH539(HiphImpf) in vanity:H7723 for vanityH7723 shall be his recompence.H8545 [32] It shall be accomplishedH4390(NiphImpf) beforeH3808 his time,H3117 and his branchH3712 shall not be green.H7488 [33] He shall shake offH2554(QalImpf) his unripe grapeH1154 as the vine,H1612 and shall cast offH7993(HiphImpf) his flowerH5328 as the olive.H2132 [34] For the congregationH5712 of hypocritesH2611 [shall be] desolate,H1565 and fireH784 shall consumeH398(QalPerf) the tabernaclesH168 of bribery.H7810 [35] They conceiveH2029(QalInf) mischief,H5999 and bring forthH3205(QalInf) vanity,H205 and their bellyH990 preparethH3559(HiphImpf) deceit.H4820
