1Then Eliphaz the Temanite replied:
“Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,”
2"If one ventures a word with you, will you be wearied? Yet who can keep from speaking?
“If one ventures a word with you, will you be impatient? Yet who can keep from speaking?”
“if we say to commune with thee, wilt thou be grieved? But who can withhold himself from speaking?”
3Surely you have instructed many, and have strengthened their feeble hands.
“Behold, you have instructed many, and you have strengthened the weak hands.”
“thou hast instructed many, and thou hast strengthened the weak hands.”
“behold, you have instructed many, you have strengthened the weak hands.”
4Your words have steadied those who stumbled; you have braced the knees that were buckling.
“Thy words have upholden him that was falling, and thou hast strengthened the feeble knees,”
“Your words have upheld him who was stumbling and you have made firm the feeble knees.”
“Your words have upheld the one who was stumbling, and you have made firm the feeble knees.”
5But now trouble has come upon you, and you are weary. It strikes you, and you are dismayed.
“now it has come to you, and you are impatient. It touches you, and you are dismayed.”
“But now it has come upon thee, and thou faintest. It toucheth thee, and thou art troubled.”
6Is your reverence not your confidence, and the uprightness of your ways your hope?
“is not your fear of God your confidence? And the integrity of your ways your hope?”
“Is not your fear of God your confidence? And the integrity of your ways your hope?”
“Is not this thy fear, thy confidence, thy hope, the brightness of thy ways?”
7Consider now, I plead: Who, being innocent, has ever perished? Or where have the upright been destroyed?
“Remember, who that was innocent ever perished? Or where were the upright cut off?”
“who that was innocent ever perished? Or where were the upright cut off?”
8As I have observed, those who plow iniquity and those who sow trouble reap the same.
“Even as I have seen, they that plow iniquity and sow wickedness reap the same.”
“As I have seen, those who plow iniquity and sow trouble reap the same.”
“Even as I have seen they that plow iniquity and sow wickedness, reap the same.”
“Even as I have sinned, they that plow iniquity and sow wickedness reap the same.”
9By the breath of God they perish, and by the blast of His anger they are consumed.
“By the breath of God they perish, and by the blast of His anger they are consumed.”
“By the blast of God, they perish, and by the breath of his nostrils, they are consumed.”
10The lion may roar, and the fierce lion may growl, yet the teeth of the young lions are broken.
“The roar of the lion, the voice of the fierce lion, the teeth of the young lions are broken,”
11The old lion perishes for lack of prey, and the cubs of the lioness are scattered.
“The old lion perisheth for lack of a prey, and the stout lion's whelps are scattered abroad.”
“the strong lion perishes for lack of prey, and the cubs of the lioness are scattered.”
12Now a word came to me secretly; my ears caught a whisper of it.
“Now a word was brought to me stealthily. My ear received a whisper of it.”
13In disquieting visions in the night, when deep sleep falls on men,
“Amid thoughts from visions of the night, when deep sleep falls on men,”
14fear and trembling came over me and made all my bones shudder.
“dread came upon me and trembling, which made all my bones shake.”
“fear came upon me. And trembling, it made all my bones shake.”
15Then a spirit glided past my face, and the hair on my body bristled.
“Then a spirit passed by my face. The hair of my flesh bristled up.”
“A spirit glided past my face. The hair of my flesh stood up.”
“a spirit passed before my face. The hair of my flesh stood up.”
“Then a spirit passed before my faith, the hair of my flesh stood up,”
16It stood still, but I could not discern its appearance; a form loomed before my eyes, and I heard a whispering voice:
“stood still. But I could not discern its appearance, a form was before my eyes. There was silence. Then I heard a voice.”
“It stood still. I could not discern its appearance. A form was before my eyes. Then there was silence. Then I heard a voice.”
17'Can a mortal be more righteous than God, or a man more pure than his Maker?
“Shall mortal man be more just than God? Shall a man be more pure than his Maker?”
“Shall mortal man be more just than God? Shall a man be more pure than his maker?”
“Can mortal man be in the right before God? Can a man be pure before his Maker?”
“Shall a mortal man be more just than God? Shall a man be purer than his maker?”
18If God puts no trust in His servants, and He charges His angels with error,
“Behold, he put no trust in his servants, and his angels he charged with folly.”
“Behold, he puts no trust in his servants and his angels he charged with folly.”
“Behold, he putteth no trust in his servants, and his angels he charged with folly.”
“Even in His servants He puts no trust, in His angels He charges with error.”
“behold, he put no trust in his servants and his angels to charge with folly.”
19how much more those who dwell in houses of clay, whose foundations are in the dust, who can be crushed like a moth!
“How much less in them that dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust which are crushed before the moth?”
“How much more those who dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, who are crushed like the moth,”
20They are smashed to pieces from dawn to dusk; unnoticed, they perish forever.
“between morning and evening they are beaten to pieces, they perish forever without anyone regarding it.”
21Are not their tent cords pulled up, so that they die without wisdom?'
“Doth not their excellency which is in them go away, they die even without wisdom.”
“Is not their tent cord plucked up within them? Do they not die in that without wisdom?”
