Job 15

KJV

1  Then answered⁶⁰³⁰ Eliphaz⁴⁶⁴ the Temanite,⁸⁴⁸⁹ and said,⁵⁵⁹

2  Should a wise²⁴⁵⁰ man utter⁶⁰³⁰ vain⁷³⁰⁷ knowledge,¹⁸⁴⁷ and fill⁴³⁹⁰ his belly⁹⁹⁰ with the east wind?⁶⁹²¹

3  Should he reason³¹⁹⁸ with unprofitable^{3808 5532} talk?¹⁶⁹⁷ or with speeches⁴⁴⁰⁵ wherewith he can do no³⁸⁰⁸ good?³²⁷⁶

4  Yea,⁶³⁷ thou⁸⁵⁹ castest off⁶⁵⁶⁵ fear,³³⁷⁴ and restrainest¹⁶³⁹ prayer⁷⁸⁸¹ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ God.⁴¹⁰

5  For³⁵⁸⁸ thy mouth⁶³¹⁰ uttereth⁵⁰² thine iniquity,⁵⁷⁷¹ and thou choosest⁹⁷⁷ the tongue³⁹⁵⁶ of the crafty.⁶¹⁷⁵

6  Thine own mouth⁶³¹⁰ condemneth⁷⁵⁶¹ thee, and not³⁸⁰⁸ I:⁵⁸⁹ yea, thine own lips⁸¹⁹³ testify⁶⁰³⁰ against thee.

7  Art thou the first⁷²²³ man¹²⁰ that was born?³²⁰⁵ or wast thou made²³⁴² before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the hills?¹³⁸⁹

8  Hast thou heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ the secret⁵⁴⁷⁵ of God?⁴³³ and dost thou restrain¹⁶³⁹ wisdom²⁴⁵¹ to⁴¹³ thyself?

9  What⁴¹⁰⁰ knowest³⁰⁴⁵ thou, that we know³⁰⁴⁵ not?³⁸⁰⁸ what understandest⁹⁹⁵ thou, which¹⁹³¹ is not³⁸⁰⁸ in⁵⁹⁷³ us?

10  With us are both¹⁵⁷¹ the grayheaded⁷⁸⁶⁷ and¹⁵⁷¹ very aged men,³⁴⁵³ much elder^{3524 3117} than thy father.^{4480 1}

11  Are the consolations⁸⁵⁷⁵ of God⁴¹⁰ small⁴⁵⁹² with⁴⁴⁸⁰ thee? is there any secret³²⁸ thing¹⁶⁹⁷ with⁵⁹⁷³ thee?

12  Why⁴¹⁰⁰ doth thine heart³⁸²⁰ carry thee away?³⁹⁴⁷ and what⁴¹⁰⁰ do thy eyes⁵⁸⁶⁹ wink at,⁷³³⁵

13  That³⁵⁸⁸ thou turnest⁷⁷²⁵ thy spirit⁷³⁰⁷ against⁴¹³ God,⁴¹⁰ and lettest such words⁴⁴⁰⁵ go out³³¹⁸ of thy mouth?^{4480 6310}

14  What⁴¹⁰⁰ is man,⁵⁸² that³⁵⁸⁸ he should be clean?²¹³⁵ and he which is born³²⁰⁵ of a woman,⁸⁰² that³⁵⁸⁸ he should be righteous?⁶⁶⁶³

15  Behold,²⁰⁰⁵ he putteth no trust^{539 3808} in his saints;⁶⁹¹⁸ yea, the heavens⁸⁰⁶⁴ are not³⁸⁰⁸ clean²¹⁴¹ in his sight.⁵⁸⁶⁹

16  How much more^{637 3588} abominable⁸⁵⁸¹ and filthy⁴⁴⁴ is man,³⁷⁶ which drinketh⁸³⁵⁴ iniquity⁵⁷⁶⁶ like water?⁴³²⁵

17  I will show²³³¹ thee, hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ me; and that²⁰⁸⁸ which I have seen²³⁷² I will declare;⁵⁶⁰⁸

18  Which⁸³⁴ wise²⁴⁵⁰ men have told⁵⁰⁴⁶ from their fathers,^{4480 1} and have not³⁸⁰⁸ hid³⁵⁸² it:

19  Unto whom alone⁹⁰⁵ the earth⁷⁷⁶ was given,⁵⁴¹⁴ and no³⁸⁰⁸ stranger²¹¹⁴ passed⁵⁶⁷⁴ among⁸⁴³² them.

20  The wicked man⁷⁵⁶³ travaileth with pain²³⁴² all³⁶⁰⁵ his days,³¹¹⁷ and the number⁴⁵⁵⁷ of years⁸¹⁴¹ is hidden⁶⁸⁴⁵ to the oppressor.⁶¹⁸⁴

21  A dreadful⁶³⁴³ sound⁶⁹⁶³ is in his ears:²⁴¹ in prosperity⁷⁹⁶⁵ the destroyer⁷⁷⁰³ shall come upon⁹³⁵ him.

22  He believeth⁵³⁹ not³⁸⁰⁸ that he shall return⁷⁷²⁵ out of⁴⁴⁸⁰ darkness,²⁸²² and he¹⁹³¹ is waited for⁶⁸²² of⁴¹³ the sword.²⁷¹⁹

23  He¹⁹³¹ wandereth abroad⁵⁰⁷⁴ for bread,³⁸⁹⁹ saying, Where³⁴⁶ is it? he knoweth³⁰⁴⁵ that³⁵⁸⁸ the day³¹¹⁷ of darkness²⁸²² is ready³⁵⁵⁹ at his hand.³⁰²⁷

24  Trouble⁶⁸⁶² and anguish⁴⁶⁹¹ shall make him afraid;¹²⁰⁴ they shall prevail against⁸⁶³⁰ him, as a king⁴⁴²⁸ ready⁶²⁶⁴ to the battle.³⁵⁹³

25  For³⁵⁸⁸ he stretcheth out⁵¹⁸⁶ his hand³⁰²⁷ against⁴¹³ God,⁴¹⁰ and strengtheneth himself¹³⁹⁶ against⁴¹³ the Almighty.⁷⁷⁰⁶

26  He runneth⁷³²³ upon⁴¹³ him, even on his neck,⁶⁶⁷⁷ upon the thick⁵⁶⁷² bosses¹³⁵⁴ of his bucklers:⁴⁰⁴³

27  Because³⁵⁸⁸ he covereth³⁶⁸⁰ his face⁶⁴⁴⁰ with his fatness,²⁴⁵⁹ and maketh⁶²¹³ collops of fat⁶³⁷¹ on⁵⁹²¹ his flanks.³⁶⁸⁹

28  And he dwelleth in⁷⁹³¹ desolate³⁵⁸² cities,⁵⁸⁹² and in houses which¹⁰⁰⁴ no³⁸⁰⁸ man inhabiteth,³⁴²⁷ which⁸³⁴ are ready⁶²⁵⁷ to become heaps.¹⁵³⁰

29  He shall not³⁸⁰⁸ be rich,⁶²³⁸ neither³⁸⁰⁸ shall his substance²⁴²⁸ continue,⁶⁹⁶⁵ neither³⁸⁰⁸ shall he prolong⁵¹⁸⁶ the perfection⁴⁵¹² thereof upon the earth.⁷⁷⁶

30  He shall not³⁸⁰⁸ depart⁵⁴⁹³ out of⁴⁴⁸⁰ darkness;²⁸²² the flame⁷⁹⁵⁷ shall dry up³⁰⁰¹ his branches,³¹²⁷ and by the breath⁷³⁰⁷ of his mouth⁶³¹⁰ shall he go away.⁵⁴⁹³

31  Let not⁴⁰⁸ him that is deceived⁸⁵⁸² trust⁵³⁹ in vanity:⁷⁷²³ for³⁵⁸⁸ vanity⁷⁷²³ shall be¹⁹⁶¹ his recompense.⁸⁵⁴⁵

32  It shall be accomplished⁴³⁹⁰ before³⁸⁰⁸ his time,³¹¹⁷ and his branch³⁷¹² shall not³⁸⁰⁸ be green.⁷⁴⁸⁸

33  He shall shake off²⁵⁵⁴ his unripe grape¹¹⁵⁴ as the vine,¹⁶¹² and shall cast off⁷⁹⁹³ his flower⁵³²⁸ as the olive.²¹³²

34  For³⁵⁸⁸ the congregation⁵⁷¹² of hypocrites²⁶¹¹ shall be desolate,¹⁵⁶⁵ and fire⁷⁸⁴ shall consume³⁹⁸ the tabernacles¹⁶⁸ of bribery.⁷⁸¹⁰

35  They conceive²⁰²⁹ mischief,⁵⁹⁹⁹ and bring forth³²⁰⁵ vanity,²⁰⁵ and their belly⁹⁹⁰ prepareth³⁵⁵⁹ deceit.⁴⁸²⁰

1 ὑπολαβὼν δὲ Ελιφας ὁ Θαιμανίτης λέγει

2 πότερον σοφὸς ἀπόκρισιν δώσει συνέσεως πνεύματος καὶ ἐνέπλησεν πόνον γαστρὸς

3 ἐλέγχων ἐν ῥήμασιν οἷς οὐ δεῖ ἐν λόγοις οἷς οὐδὲν ὄφελος

4 οὐ καὶ σὺ ἀπεποιήσω φόβον συνετελέσω δὲ ῥήματα τοιαῦτα ἔναντι τοῦ κυρίου

5 ἔνοχος εἶ ῥήμασιν στόματός σου οὐδὲ διέκρινας ῥήματα δυναστῶν

6 ἐλέγξαι σε τὸ σὸν στόμα καὶ μὴ ἐγώ τὰ δὲ χείλη σου καταμαρτυρήσουσίν σου

7 τί γάρ μὴ πρῶτος ἀνθρώπων ἐγενήθης ἢ πρὸ θινῶν ἐπάγης

8 ἦ σύνταγμα κυρίου ἀκήκοας εἰς δὲ σὲ ἀφίκετο σοφία

9 τί γὰρ οἶδας ὃ οὐκ οἴδαμεν ἢ τί συνίεις ὃ οὐχὶ καὶ ἡμεῖς

10 καί γε πρεσβύτης καί γε παλαιὸς ἐν ἡμῖν βαρύτερος τοῦ πατρός σου ἡμέραις

11 ὀλίγα ὧν ἡμάρτηκας μεμαστίγωσαι μεγάλως ὑπερβαλλόντως λελάληκας

12 τί ἐτόλμησεν ἡ καρδία σου ἢ τί ἐπήνεγκαν οἱ ὀφθαλμοί σου

13 ὅτι θυμὸν ἔρρηξας ἔναντι κυρίου ἐξήγαγες δὲ ἐκ στόματος ῥήματα τοιαῦτα

14 τίς γὰρ ὢν βροτός ὅτι ἔσται ἄμεμπτος ἢ ὡς ἐσόμενος δίκαιος γεννητὸς γυναικός

15 εἰ κατὰ ἁγίων οὐ πιστεύει οὐρανὸς δὲ οὐ καθαρὸς ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ

16 ἔα δὲ ἐβδελυγμένος καὶ ἀκάθαρτος ἀνὴρ πίνων ἀδικίας ἴσα ποτῷ

17 ἀναγγελῶ δέ σοι ἄκουέ μου ἃ δὴ ἑώρακα ἀναγγελῶ σοι

18 ἃ σοφοὶ ἐροῦσιν καὶ οὐκ ἔκρυψαν πατέρας αὐτῶν

19 αὐτοῖς μόνοις ἐδόθη ἡ γῆ καὶ οὐκ ἐπῆλθεν ἀλλογενὴς ἐπ᾽ αὐτούς

20 πᾶς ὁ βίος ἀσεβοῦς ἐν φροντίδι ἔτη δὲ ἀριθμητὰ δεδομένα δυνάστῃ

21 ὁ δὲ φόβος αὐτοῦ ἐν ὠσὶν αὐτοῦ ὅταν δοκῇ ἤδη εἰρηνεύειν ἥξει αὐτοῦ ἡ καταστροφή

22 μὴ πιστευέτω ἀποστραφῆναι ἀπὸ σκότους ἐντέταλται γὰρ ἤδη εἰς χεῖρας σιδήρου

23 κατατέτακται δὲ εἰς σῖτα γυψίν οἶδεν δὲ ἐν ἑαυτῷ ὅτι μένει εἰς πτῶμα ἡμέρα δὲ αὐτὸν σκοτεινὴ στροβήσει

24 ἀνάγκη δὲ καὶ θλῖψις αὐτὸν καθέξει ὥσπερ στρατηγὸς πρωτοστάτης πίπτων

25 ὅτι ἦρκεν χεῖρας ἐναντίον τοῦ κυρίου ἔναντι δὲ κυρίου παντοκράτορος ἐτραχηλίασεν

26 ἔδραμεν δὲ ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ ὕβρει ἐν πάχει νώτου ἀσπίδος αὐτοῦ

27 ὅτι ἐκάλυψεν τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ ἐν στέατι αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐποίησεν περιστόμιον ἐπὶ τῶν μηρίων

28 αὐλισθείη δὲ πόλεις ἐρήμους εἰσέλθοι δὲ εἰς οἴκους ἀοικήτους ἃ δὲ ἐκεῖνοι ἡτοίμασαν ἄλλοι ἀποίσονται

29 οὔτε μὴ πλουτισθῇ οὔτε μὴ μείνῃ αὐτοῦ τὰ ὑπάρχοντα οὐ μὴ βάλῃ ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν σκιὰν

30 οὐδὲ μὴ ἐκφύγῃ τὸ σκότος τὸν βλαστὸν αὐτοῦ μαράναι ἄνεμος ἐκπέσοι δὲ αὐτοῦ τὸ ἄνθος

31 μὴ πιστευέτω ὅτι ὑπομενεῖ κενὰ γὰρ ἀποβήσεται αὐτῷ

32 ἡ τομὴ αὐτοῦ πρὸ ὥρας φθαρήσεται καὶ ὁ ῥάδαμνος αὐτοῦ οὐ μὴ πυκάσῃ

33 τρυγηθείη δὲ ὥσπερ ὄμφαξ πρὸ ὥρας ἐκπέσοι δὲ ὡς ἄνθος ἐλαίας

34 μαρτύριον γὰρ ἀσεβοῦς θάνατος πῦρ δὲ καύσει οἴκους δωροδεκτῶν

35 ἐν γαστρὶ δὲ λήμψεται ὀδύνας ἀποβήσεται δὲ αὐτῷ κενά ἡ δὲ κοιλία αὐτοῦ ὑποίσει δόλον

1 Respondens autem Eliphaz Themanites, dixit:

2 [Numquid sapiens respondebit quasi in ventum loquens,
et implebit ardore stomachum suum?

3 Arguis verbis eum qui non est æqualis tibi,
et loqueris quod tibi non expedit.

4 Quantum in te est, evacuasti timorem,
et tulisti preces coram Deo.

5 Docuit enim iniquitas tua os tuum,
et imitaris linguam blasphemantium.

6 Condemnabit te os tuum, et non ego:
et labia tua respondebunt tibi.

7 Numquid primus homo tu natus es,
et ante colles formatus?

8 numquid consilium Dei audisti,
et inferior te erit ejus sapientia?

9 Quid nosti quod ignoremus?
quid intelligis quod nesciamus?

10 Et senes et antiqui sunt in nobis,
multo vetustiores quam patres tui.

11 Numquid grande est ut consoletur te Deus?
sed verba tua prava hoc prohibent.

12 Quid te elevat cor tuum,
et quasi magna cogitans attonitos habes oculos?

13 Quid tumet contra Deum spiritus tuus,
ut proferas de ore tuo hujuscemodi sermones?

14 Quid est homo ut immaculatus sit,
et ut justus appareat natus de muliere?

15 Ecce inter sanctos ejus nemo immutabilis,
et cæli non sunt mundi in conspectu ejus.

16 Quanto magis abominabilis et inutilis homo,
qui bibit quasi aquam iniquitatem?

17 Ostendam tibi: audi me:
quod vidi, narrabo tibi.

18 Sapientes confitentur,
et non abscondunt patres suos:

19 quibus solis data est terra,
et non transivit alienus per eos.

20 Cunctis diebus suis impius superbit,
et numerus annorum incertus est tyrannidis ejus.

21 Sonitus terroris semper in auribus illius:
et cum pax sit, ille semper insidias suspicatur.

22 Non credit quod reverti possit de tenebris ad lucem,
circumspectans undique gladium.

23 Cum se moverit ad quærendum panem,
novit quod paratus sit in manu ejus tenebrarum dies.

24 Terrebit eum tribulatio,
et angustia vallabit eum,
sicut regem qui præparatur ad prælium.

25 Tetendit enim adversus Deum manum suam,
et contra Omnipotentem roboratus est.

26 Cucurrit adversus eum erecto collo,
et pingui cervice armatus est.

27 Operuit faciem ejus crassitudo,
et de lateribus ejus arvina dependet.

28 Habitavit in civitatibus desolatis,
et in domibus desertis, quæ in tumulos sunt redactæ.

29 Non ditabitur, nec perseverabit substantia ejus,
nec mittet in terra radicem suam.

30 Non recedet de tenebris:
ramos ejus arefaciet flamma,
et auferetur spiritu oris sui.

31 Non credet, frustra errore deceptus,
quod aliquo pretio redimendus sit.

32 Antequam dies ejus impleantur peribit,
et manus ejus arescent.

33 Lædetur quasi vinea in primo flore botrus ejus,
et quasi oliva projiciens florem suum.

34 Congregatio enim hypocritæ sterilis,
et ignis devorabit tabernacula eorum qui munera libenter accipiunt.

35 Concepit dolorem, et peperit iniquitatem,
et uterus ejus præparat dolos.]
