Job 15

The Latin Vulgate VUL

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 aequalis tui 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 eius sapientia

9 quid nosti quod ignoremus quid intellegis 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 adtonitos habes oculos

13 quid tumet contra Deum spiritus tuus ut proferas de ore huiuscemodi sermones

14 quid est homo ut inmaculatus sit et ut iustus appareat natus de muliere

15 ecce inter sanctos eius nemo inmutabilis et caeli non sunt mundi in conspectu eius

16 quanto magis abominabilis et inutilis homo qui bibit quasi aquas 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 transibit alienus per eos

20 cunctis diebus suis impius superbit et numerus annorum incertus est tyrannidis eius

21 sonitus terroris semper in auribus illius et cum pax sit ille insidias suspicatur

22 non credit quod reverti possit de tenebris circumspectans undique gladium

23 cum se moverit ad quaerendum panem novit quod paratus sit in manu eius tenebrarum dies

24 terrebit eum tribulatio et angustia vallabit eum sicut regem qui praeparatur ad proelium

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 eius crassitudo et de lateribus eius arvina dependet

28 habitavit in civitatibus desolatis et in domibus desertis quae in tumulos sunt redactae

29 non ditabitur nec perseverabit substantia eius nec mittet in terra radicem suam

30 non recedet de tenebris ramos eius arefaciet flamma et auferetur spiritu oris sui

31 non credat frustra errore deceptus quod aliquo pretio redimendus sit

32 antequam dies eius impleantur peribit et manus eius arescet

33 laedetur quasi vinea in primo flore botrus eius et quasi oliva proiciens florem suum

34 congregatio enim hypocritae sterilis et ignis devorabit tabernacula eorum qui munera libenter accipiunt

35 concepit dolorem et peperit iniquitatem et uterus eius praeparat dolos

New International Version NIV

1 Then Eliphaz the Temanite replied:

2 “Would a wise person answer with empty notions or fill their belly with the hot east wind?

3 Would they argue with useless words, with speeches that have no value?

4 But you even undermine piety and hinder devotion to God.

5 Your sin prompts your mouth; you adopt the tongue of the crafty.

6 Your own mouth condemns you, not mine; your own lips testify against you.

7 “Are you the first man ever born? Were you brought forth before the hills?

8 Do you listen in on God’s council? Do you have a monopoly on wisdom?

9 What do you know that we do not know? What insights do you have that we do not have?

10 The gray-haired and the aged are on our side, men even older than your father.

11 Are God’s consolations not enough for you, words spoken gently to you?

12 Why has your heart carried you away, and why do your eyes flash,

13 so that you vent your rage against God and pour out such words from your mouth?

14 “What are mortals, that they could be pure, or those born of woman, that they could be righteous?

15 If God places no trust in his holy ones, if even the heavens are not pure in his eyes,

16 how much less mortals, who are vile and corrupt, who drink up evil like water!

17 “Listen to me and I will explain to you; let me tell you what I have seen,

18 what the wise have declared, hiding nothing received from their ancestors

19 (to whom alone the land was given when no foreigners moved among them):

20 All his days the wicked man suffers torment, the ruthless man through all the years stored up for him.

21 Terrifying sounds fill his ears; when all seems well, marauders attack him.

22 He despairs of escaping the realm of darkness; he is marked for the sword.

23 He wanders about for food like a vulture; he knows the day of darkness is at hand.

24 Distress and anguish fill him with terror; troubles overwhelm him, like a king poised to attack,

25 because he shakes his fist at God and vaunts himself against the Almighty,

26 defiantly charging against him with a thick, strong shield.

27 “Though his face is covered with fat and his waist bulges with flesh,

28 he will inhabit ruined towns and houses where no one lives, houses crumbling to rubble.

29 He will no longer be rich and his wealth will not endure, nor will his possessions spread over the land.

30 He will not escape the darkness; a flame will wither his shoots, and the breath of God’s mouth will carry him away.

31 Let him not deceive himself by trusting what is worthless, for he will get nothing in return.

32 Before his time he will wither, and his branches will not flourish.

33 He will be like a vine stripped of its unripe grapes, like an olive tree shedding its blossoms.

34 For the company of the godless will be barren, and fire will consume the tents of those who love bribes.

35 They conceive trouble and give birth to evil; their womb fashions deceit.”
