Job - douay rheims

Chapter 15

¹ And Eliphaz the Themanite, answered, and said:
² Will a wise man answer as if he were speaking in the wind, and fill his stomach with burning heat?
³ Thou reprovest him by words, who is not equal to thee, and thou speakest that which is not good for thee.
⁴ As much as is in thee, thou hast made void fear, and hast taken away prayers from before God.
⁵ For thy iniquity hath taught thy mouth, and thou imitatest the tongue of blasphemers.
⁶ Thy own mouth shall condemn thee, and not I: and thy own lips shall answer thee.
⁷ Art thou the first man that was born, or wast thou made before the hills ?
⁸ Hast thou heard God's counsel, and shall his wisdom be inferior to thee?
⁹ What knowest thou that we are ignorant of? what dost thou understand that we know not?
¹⁰ There are with us also aged and ancient men, much elder than thy fathers.
¹¹ Is it a great matter that God should comfort thee? but thy wicked words hinder this.
¹² Why doth thy heart elevate thee, and why dost thou stare with thy eyes, as if they were thinking great things ?
¹³ Why doth thy spirit swell against God, to utter such words out of thy mouth ?
¹⁴ What is man that he should be without spot, and he that is born of a woman that he should appear just?
¹⁵ Behold among his saints none is unchangeable, and the heavens are not pure in his sight.
¹⁶ How much more is man abominable, and unprofitable, who drinketh iniquity like water?
¹⁷ I will shew thee, hear me : and I mill tell thee what I have seen.
¹⁸ Wise men confess and hide not their fathers.
¹⁹ To whom alone the earth was given, and no stranger hath passed among them.
²⁰ The wicked man is proud all his days, and the number of the years of his tyranny is uncertain.
²¹ The sound of dread is always in his ears: and when there is peace, he always suspecteth treason.
²² He believeth not that he may return from darkness to light, looking round about for the sword on every side.
²³ When he moveth himself to seek bread, he knoweth that the day of darkness is ready at his hand.
²⁴ Tribulation shall terrify him, and distress shall surround him, as a king that is prepared for the battle.
²⁵ For he hath stretched out his hand against God, and hath strengthened himself against the Almighty.
²⁶ He hath run against him with his neck raised up, and is armed with a fat neck.
²⁷ Fatness hath covered his face, and the fat hangeth down on his sides.
²⁸ He hath dwelt in desolate cities, and in desert houses that are reduced into heaps.
²⁹ He shall not be enriched, neither shall his substance continue, neither shall he push his root in the earth.
³⁰ He shall not depart out of darkness: the flame shall dry up his branches, and he shall be taken away by the breath of his own month.
³¹ He shall not believe, being vainly deceived by error, that he may be redeemed with any price.
³² Before his days be full he shall perish: and his hands shall wither away.
³³ He shall be blasted as a vine when its grapes are in the first flower, and as an olive tree that casteth its flower.
³⁴ For the congregation of the hypocrite is barren, and fire shall devour their tabernacles, who love to take bribes.
³⁵ He hath conceived sorrow, and hath brought forth iniquity, and his womb prepareth deceits.

Chapter 15

¹ Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite, and said,
² Should a wise men utter vain knowledge, and fill his belly with the east wind?
³ Should he reason with unprofitable talk? or with speeches with which he can do no good?
⁴ Yes, thou castest off fear, and restrainest prayer before God.
⁵ For thy mouth uttereth thy iniquity, and thou choosest the tongue of the crafty.
⁶ Thy own mouth condemneth thee, and not I: yes, thy own lips testify against thee.
⁷ Art thou the first man that was born? or wast thou made before the hills?
⁸ Hast thou heard the secret of God? and dost thou restrain wisdom to thyself?
⁹ What knowest thou that we know not? what understandest thou, which is not in us?
¹⁰ With us are both the gray headed and very aged men, much older than thy father.
¹¹ Are the consolations of God small with thee? is there any secret thing with thee?
¹² Why doth thy heart carry thee away? and what do thy eyes wink at,
¹³ That thou turnest thy spirit against God, and lettest such words go out of thy mouth?
¹⁴ What is man, that he should be clean? and he who is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?
¹⁵ Behold, he putteth no trust in his saints; yes, the heavens are not clean in his sight.
¹⁶ How much more abominable and filthy is man, who drinketh iniquity like water?
¹⁷ I will show thee, hear me; and that which I have seen, I will declare;
¹⁸ Which wise men have told from their fathers, and have not hid it:
¹⁹ To whom alone the earth was given, and no stranger passed among them.
²⁰ The wicked man travaileth with pain all his days, and the number of years is hidden to the oppressor.
²¹ A dreadful sound is in his ears: in prosperity the destroyer shall come upon him.
²² He believeth not that he shall return out of darkness, and he is waited for by the sword.
²³ He wandereth abroad for bread, saying, Where is it? he knoweth that the day of darkness is ready at his hand.
²⁴ Trouble and anguish shall make him afraid; they shall prevail against him, as a king ready to the battle.
²⁵ For he stretcheth out his hand against God, and strengtheneth himself against the Almighty.
²⁶ He runneth upon him, even on his neck, upon the thick bosses of his bucklers:
²⁷ Because he covereth his face with his fatness, and maketh collops of fat on his flanks.
²⁸ And he dwelleth in desolate cities, and in houses which no man inhabiteth, which are ready to become heaps.
²⁹ He shall not be rich, neither shall his substance continue, neither shall he prolong the perfection of it upon the earth.
³⁰ He shall not depart out of darkness; the flame shall dry up his branches, and by the breath of his mouth shall he go away.
³¹ Let not him that is deceived trust in vanity: for vanity shall be his recompense.
³² It shall be accomplished before his time, and his branch shall not be green.
³³ He shall shake off his unripe grape as the vine, and shall cast off his flower as the olive.
³⁴ For the congregation of hypocrites shall be desolate, and fire shall consume the tabernacles of bribery.
³⁵ They conceive mischief, and bring forth vanity, and their belly prepareth deceit.

⁷ you the first man who was born? Or were you brought forth before the hills?
⁸ you heard the secret counsel of God? Do you limit wisdom to yourself?

¹¹ the consolations of God too small for you, even the word that is gentle toward you?
¹² does your heart carry you away? Why do your eyes flash,
¹³ you turn your spirit against God, and let such words go out of your mouth?

²⁷ he has covered his face with his fatness, and gathered fat on his thighs.
²⁸ has lived in desolate cities, in houses which no one inhabited, which were ready to become heaps.

Chapter 15

¹ And Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,
² Should a wise man answer with windy knowledge, and fill his belly with the east wind,
³ Reasoning with unprofitable talk, and with speeches which do no good?
⁴ Yea, thou makest piety of none effect, and restrainest meditation before ùGod.
⁵ For thy mouth uttereth thine iniquity, and thou hast chosen the tongue of the crafty.
⁶ Thine own mouth condemneth thee, and not I; and thy lips testify against thee.
⁷ Art thou the first man that was born? and wast thou brought forth before the hills?
⁸ Hast thou listened in the secret council of +God? And hast thou absorbed wisdom for thyself?
⁹ What knowest thou that we know not? [what] understandest thou which is not in us?
¹⁰ Both the greyheaded and the aged are with us, older than thy father.
¹¹ Are the consolations of ùGod too small for thee? and the word gently spoken to thee?
¹² Why doth thy heart carry thee away? and why do thine eyes wink?
¹³ That thou turnest thy spirit against ùGod, and lettest words go out of thy mouth?
¹⁴ What is man, that he should be pure? and he that is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?
¹⁵ Behold, he putteth no trust in his holy ones, and the heavens are not pure in his sight:
¹⁶ How much less the abominable and corrupt, -- man, that drinketh unrighteousness like water!
¹⁷ I will shew thee, listen to me; and what I have seen I will declare;
¹⁸ Which wise men have told from their fathers, and have not hidden;
¹⁹ Unto whom alone the earth was given, and no stranger passed among them.
²⁰ All his days the wicked man is tormented, and numbered years are allotted to the violent.
²¹ The sound of terrors is in his ears: in prosperity the destroyer cometh upon him.
²² He believeth not that he shall return out of darkness, and he is singled out for the sword.
²³ He wandereth abroad for bread, -- where may it be? He knoweth 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 for the battle.
²⁵ For he hath stretched out his hand against ùGod, and strengthened himself against the Almighty:
²⁶ He runneth against him, with [outstretched] neck, with the thick bosses of his bucklers;
²⁷ For he hath covered his face with his fatness, and gathered fat upon [his] flanks.
²⁸ And he dwelleth in desolate cities, in houses that no man inhabiteth, which are destined to become heaps.
²⁹ He shall not become rich, neither shall his substance continue, and their possessions shall not extend upon the earth.
³⁰ He shall not depart out of darkness; the flame shall dry up his branches; and by the breath of his mouth shall he go away.
³¹ Let him not trust in vanity: he is deceived, for vanity shall be his recompense;
³² It shall be complete before his day, and his branch shall not be green.
³³ He shall shake off his unripe grapes as a vine, and shall cast his flower as an olive.
³⁴ For the family of the ungodly shall be barren, and fire shall consume the tents of bribery.
³⁵ They conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity, and their belly prepareth deceit.

Chapter 15

¹ And Eliphaz the Temanite made answer and said,
² Will a wise man make answer with knowledge of no value, or will he give birth to the east wind?
³ Will he make arguments with words in which is no profit, and with sayings which have no value?
⁴ Truly, you make the fear of God without effect, so that the time of quiet worship before God is made less by your outcry.
⁵ For your mouth is guided by your sin, and you have taken the tongue of the false for yourself.
⁶ It is by your mouth, even yours, that you are judged to be in the wrong, and not by me; and your lips give witness against you.
⁷ Were you the first man to come into the world? or did you come into being before the hills?
⁸ Were you present at the secret meeting of God? and have you taken all wisdom for yourself?
⁹ What knowledge have you which we have not? is there anything in your mind which is not in ours?
¹⁰ With us are men who are grey-haired and full of years, much older than your father.
¹¹ Are the comforts of God not enough for you, and the gentle word which was said to you?
¹² Why is your heart uncontrolled, and why are your eyes lifted up;
¹³ So that you are turning your spirit against God, and letting such words go out of your mouth?
¹⁴ What is man, that he may be clean? and how may the son of woman be upright?
¹⁵ Truly, he puts no faith in his holy ones, and the heavens are not clean in his eyes;
¹⁶ How much less one who is disgusting and unclean, a man who takes in evil like water!
¹⁷ Take note and give ear to my words; and I will say what I have seen:
¹⁸ (The things which wise men have got from their fathers, and have not kept secret from us;
¹⁹ For only to them was the land given, and no strange people were among them:)
²⁰ The evil man is in pain all his days, and the number of the years stored up for the cruel is small.
²¹ A sound of fear is in his ears; in time of peace destruction will come on him:
²² He has no hope of coming safe out of the dark, and his fate will be the sword;
²³ He is wandering about in search of bread, saying, Where is it? and he is certain that the day of trouble is ready for him:
²⁴ He is greatly in fear of the dark day, trouble and pain overcome him:
²⁵ Because his hand is stretched out against God, and his heart is lifted up against the Ruler of all,
²⁶ Running against him like a man of war, covered by his thick breastplate; even like a king ready for the fight,
²⁷ Because his face is covered with fat, and his body has become thick;
²⁸ And he has made his resting-place in the towns which have been pulled down, in houses where no man had a right to be, whose fate was to become masses of broken walls.
²⁹ He does not get wealth for himself, and is unable to keep what he has got; the heads of his grain are not bent down to the earth.
³⁰ He does not come out of the dark; his branches are burned by the flame, and the wind takes away his bud.
³¹ Let him not put his hope in what is false, falling into error: for he will get deceit as his reward.
³² His branch is cut off before its time, and his leaf is no longer green.
³³ He is like a vine whose grapes do not come to full growth, or an olive-tree dropping its flowers.
³⁴ For the band of the evil-doers gives no fruit, and the tents of those who give wrong decisions for reward are burned with fire.
³⁵ Evil has made them with child, and they give birth to trouble; and the fruit of their body is shame for themselves.
