Eliphaz Accuses: Job Does Not Fear God
|
||||
|
||||
# Chapter 15
|
||||
1. Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said:
|
||||
|
||||
2. "Should a wise man answer with windy knowledge,
|
||||
and fill his belly with the east wind?
|
||||
|
||||
3. Should he argue in unprofitable talk,
|
||||
or in words with which he can do no good?
|
||||
|
||||
4. But you are doing away with the fear of God
|
||||
and hindering meditation before God.
|
||||
|
||||
5. For your iniquity teaches your mouth,
|
||||
and you choose the tongue of the crafty.
|
||||
|
||||
6. Your own mouth condemns you, and not I;
|
||||
your own lips testify against you.
|
||||
|
||||
7. "Are you the first man who was born?
|
||||
Or were you brought forth before the hills?
|
||||
|
||||
8. Have you listened in the council of God?
|
||||
And do you limit wisdom to yourself?
|
||||
|
||||
9. What do you know that we do not know?
|
||||
What do you understand that is not clear to us?
|
||||
|
||||
10. Both the gray-haired and the aged are among us,
|
||||
older than your father.
|
||||
|
||||
11. Are the comforts of God too small for you,
|
||||
or the word that deals gently with you?
|
||||
|
||||
12. Why does your heart carry you away,
|
||||
and why do your eyes flash,
|
||||
|
||||
13. that you turn your spirit against God
|
||||
and bring such words out of your mouth?
|
||||
|
||||
14. What is man, that he can be pure?
|
||||
Or he who is born of a woman, that he can be righteous?
|
||||
|
||||
15. Behold, God puts no trust in his holy ones,
|
||||
and the heavens are not pure in his sight;
|
||||
|
||||
16. how much less one who is abominable and corrupt,
|
||||
a man who drinks injustice like water!
|
||||
|
||||
17. "I will show you; hear me,
|
||||
and what I have seen I will declare
|
||||
|
||||
18. (what wise men have told,
|
||||
without hiding it from their fathers,
|
||||
|
||||
19. to whom alone the land was given,
|
||||
and no stranger passed among them).
|
||||
|
||||
20. The wicked man writhes in pain all his days,
|
||||
through all the years that are laid up for the ruthless.
|
||||
|
||||
21. Dreadful sounds are in his ears;
|
||||
in prosperity the destroyer will come upon him.
|
||||
|
||||
22. He does not believe that he will return out of darkness,
|
||||
and he is marked for the sword.
|
||||
|
||||
23. He wanders abroad for bread, saying, 'Where is it?'
|
||||
He knows that a day of darkness is ready at his hand;
|
||||
|
||||
24. distress and anguish terrify him;
|
||||
they prevail against him, like a king ready for battle.
|
||||
|
||||
25. Because he has stretched out his hand against God
|
||||
and defies the Almighty,
|
||||
|
||||
26. running stubbornly against him
|
||||
with a thickly bossed shield;
|
||||
|
||||
27. because he has covered his face with his fat
|
||||
and gathered fat upon his waist
|
||||
|
||||
28. and has lived in desolate cities,
|
||||
in houses that none should inhabit,
|
||||
which were ready to become heaps of ruins;
|
||||
|
||||
29. he will not be rich, and his wealth will not endure,
|
||||
nor will his possessions spread over the earth;
|
||||
|
||||
30. he will not depart from darkness;
|
||||
the flame will dry up his shoots,
|
||||
and by the breath of his mouth he will depart.
|
||||
|
||||
31. Let him not trust in emptiness, deceiving himself,
|
||||
for emptiness will be his payment.
|
||||
|
||||
32. It will be paid in full before his time,
|
||||
and his branch will not be green.
|
||||
|
||||
33. He will shake off his unripe grape like the vine,
|
||||
and cast off his blossom like the olive tree.
|
||||
|
||||
34. For the company of the godless is barren,
|
||||
and fire consumes the tents of bribery.
|
||||
|
||||
35. They conceive trouble and give birth to evil,
|
||||
and their womb prepares deceit."
