1: And answeredH6030 EliphazH0464 the Temanite,H8489 and said,H0559

2: Should a wise manH2450 answerH6030 with knowledge,H1847 emptyH7307 and fillH4390 with the east windH6921 himself?H0990

3: Should he reasonH3198 with talk?H1697 notH3808 unprofitableH5532 Or by speechesH4405 noH3808 he can do goodH3276

4: Yes,H0637 youH0859 cast offH6565 fear,H3374 and restrainH1639 prayerH7881 beforeH6440 God.H0410

5: ForH3588 teachesH0502 your iniquity,H5771 your mouthH6310 and you chooseH0977 the tongueH3956 of the crafty.H6175

6: Condemns youH7561 Your own mouthH6310 and notH3808 I-H0589 and Yes your own lipsH8193 testifyH6030

7: [Are] the firstH7223 manH0120 you [who] was born?H3205 Or beforeH6440 the hillsH1389 were you made?H2342

8: have the counselH5475 of God?H0433 you heardH8085 and do you limitH1639 to yourselfH0413 wisdom.H2451

9: WhatH4100 do you knowH3045 that not?H3808 we do knowH3045 [What] do you understandH0995 and notH3808 in usH5973 it [is].H1931

10: BothH1571 the gray-hairedH7867 andH1571 the aged,H3453 Much [olderH3524 than your fatherH0001 much elder.H3117

11: [Are] too smallH4592 for youH4480 the consolationsH8575 of GodH0410 and the wordH1697 [spoken] gentlyH0328 with you.H5973

12: [For] whatH4100 does carry you away?H3947 your heartH3820 and whatH4100 do wink at,H7335 your eyes.H5869

13: ThatH3588 you turnH7725 againstH0413 God,H0410 your spiritH7307 and let go outH3318 of your mouthH6310 [such] words?H4405

14: what [is]H4100 man,H0582 thatH3588 he could be pure?H2135 thatH3588 he could be righteous?H6663 [he who is] bornH3205 of a woman,H0802

15: if,H2005 in His saints-H6918 noH3808 [God] puts trustH0539 and the heavensH8064 notH3808 are pureH2141 in His sight.H5869

16: HowH0637 how much lessH3588 [who is] abominableH8581 and filthyH0444 man,H0376 who drinksH8354 like waterH4325 iniquity?H5766

17: I will tell youH2331 hearH8085 and thisH2088 I have seenH2372 and I will declare-H5608

18: whatH0834 wise menH2450 have toldH5046 and NotH3808 hiding [anything received]H3582 from their fathers,H0001 aloneH0905 was given,H5414 the landH0776 and noH3808 passedH5674 alienH2114 among them.H8432

20: AllH3605 [his] days,H3117 the wicked manH7563 isH1931 writhing painH2342 and the numberH4557 of yearsH8141 is hiddenH6845 from the oppressor.H6184

21: Sounds [are]H6963 DreadfulH6343 in his ears-H0241 in prosperityH7965 the destroyerH7703 comes upon him.H0935

22: NotH3808 He does believeH0539 that he will returnH7725 fromH4480 darkness,H2822 for is waitingH6822 heH1931 forH0413 a sword.H2719

23: Wanders aboutH5074 HeH1931 for bread,H3899 [saying] where [is it]H0344 He knowsH3045 thatH3588 is readyH3559 at his handH3027 a dayH3117 of darkness.H2822

24: Make him afraid-H1204 TroubleH6862 and anguishH4691 they overpower himH8630 like a kingH4428 readyH6264 for battle.H3593

25: ForH3588 he stretches outH5186 againstH0413 God,H0410 his handH3027 and againstH0413 the AlmightyH7706 acts defiantly.H1396

26: RunningH7323 against HimH0413 stubbornly,H6677 with strongH5672 embossedH1354 his shield.H4043

27: ThoughH3588 he has coveredH3680 his faceH6440 with his fatness,H2459 and madeH6213 heavy with fatH6371 onH5921 [his] waist.H3689

28: And He dwells inH7931 cities,H5892 desolateH3582 in housesH1004 noH3808 which one inhabits,H3427 whichH0834 are destinedH6257 to become ruins.H1530

29: NotH3808 He will be rich,H6238 norH3808 will continue,H6965 his wealthH2428 norH3808 will overspreadH5186 the earthH0776 his possessions.H4512

30: NotH3808 He will departH5493 fromH4480 darkness-H2822 his branches,H3127 will dry outH3001 the flameH7957 and he will go awayH5493 by the breathH7307 of His mouth.H6310

31: NotH0408 let him trustH0539 in futile [things],H7723 deceiving himselfH8582 forH3588 and futilityH7723 will beH1961 his reward.H8545

32: BeforeH3808 his time,H3117 it will be accomplishedH4390 and his branchH3712 notH3808 will be green.H7488

33: He will shake offH2554 like a vine,H1612 his unripe grapeH1154 and cast offH7993 like an olive treeH2132 his blossom.H5328

34: ForH3588 the companyH5712 of the hypocriteH2611 [will be] barren,H1565 and fireH0784 will consumeH0398 the tentsH0168 of bribery.H7810

35: They conceiveH2029 trouble,H5999 and bring forthH3205 futility,H0205 and their wombH0990 preparesH3559 deceit.H4820
