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 unprofitable3808 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 elder3524 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 trust539 3808 in his saints;6918 yea, the heavens8064 are not3808 clean2141 in his sight.5869

16  How much more637 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.]
