Job 15

Wycliffe WYC

1 Then Eliphaz (the) Temanite answered, and said,

2 Whether a wise man shall answer, as speaking against the wind, and shall fill his stomach with burning, that is ire? (Would a wise man answer someone, whose speaking is merely wind, and who filleth his stomach with hot air?)

3 For thou reprovest him by words, which is not like thee, and thou speakest that, that speedeth not to thee. (For thou rebukest him with worthless words, and thou speakest, what profiteth thee not.)

4 As much as is in thee, thou hast avoided dread; and thou hast taken away thy prayers before God. (As much as is possible, thou hast avoided fearing God/revering God; and thou hast not presented thy prayers to God.)

5 For [thy] wickedness hath taught thy mouth, and thou followest the tongue of blasphemers.

6 Thy tongue [Thy mouth], and not I, shall condemn thee, and thy lips shall answer (against) thee.

7 Whether thou art born the first man, and whether thou art formed before (the) little hills? (Art thou the first man born, and wast thou formed before the little hills?)

8 Whether thou hast heard the counsel of God, and whether his wisdom is lower than thou? (and is his wisdom less than thine?)

9 What thing knowest thou, which we know not? What thing understandest thou, which we know not?

10 Both wise men and eld (men), much elder than thy fathers (much older than thy father), be among us.

11 Whether it is great, that God comfort thee? But thy shrewd words forbid this. (Is it not wonderful, that God comforteth thee? But thy depraved words forbid this.)

12 What raiseth thine heart thee, and thou as thinking great things hast eyes astonished? (What raiseth up thy heart, to think such great things? and why be thine eyes astonished?)

13 What swelleth thy spirit against God, that thou bring forth of thy mouth such words? (What swelleth thy spirit against God, so that thou bring forth such words out of thy mouth?)

14 What is a man, that he be without wem, and that he, born of a woman, appear just? (What is a man, is he ever pure, or without fault? yea, he, who is born of a woman, is he ever truly right before God?)

15 Lo! none among his saints is unchangeable (Lo! no one among his saints is trustworthy), and (even the) heavens be not clean in his sight.

16 How much more is a man abominable and unprofitable, that drinketh wickedness as water? (Then how much more abominable and unprofitable is man, who drinketh wickedness like water?)

17 I shall show to thee, hear thou me; I shall tell to thee that, that I saw (I shall tell thee, what I saw).

18 Wise men acknowledge, and hide (it) not their fathers. (The wise acknowledge it, and their forefathers hide it not.)

19 To which wise men alone the earth is given, and an alien shall not pass by them. (To whom alone the land was given; and no foreigner lived among them.)

20 A wicked man is proud in all his days; and the number of his years and of his tyranny is uncertain.

21 The sound of dread is ever[more] in his ears, and when peace is, he supposeth ever[more] treasons. (A fearful sound is forever in his ears, and even when there is peace, he always expecteth an attack.)

22 He believeth not that he may turn again from darknesses to light; and he beholdeth about on each side (for) a sword.

23 When he stirreth him[self] to seek bread, he knoweth, that the day of darknesses is made ready in his hand (he knoweth that the day of darkness is at hand).

24 Tribulation shall make him afeared, and anguish shall (en)compass him, as a king which is made ready to battle. (Tribulation shall make him afraid, and anguish shall surround him, like a king who is made ready for battle.)

25 For he held forth his hand against God, and he was made strong against Almighty God. (For he put forth his hand against God, and he made himself strong against Almighty God.)

26 He ran with his neck raised up against God, and he was armed with a fat noll. (He ran with his head raised up against God, and he was armed with a stiff neck, or he was stubborn.)

27 Fatness, that is, pride of temporal abundance, covered his face, or understanding, and outward fatness, that is, unshamefastness, hangeth down of his sides (hangeth down on his sides). [Fatness covered his face, and of his sides grease hangeth. (Fatness covered his face, and grease hangeth down on his sides.)]

28 He shall dwell in desolate cities (He shall live in empty cities), and in deserted houses, that be turned into burials.

29 He shall not be made rich, neither his chattel shall dwell steadfastly (nor shall his substance, or his possessions, endure); neither he shall send his root into the earth,

30 neither he shall go away from darknesses. Flame shall make dry his branches, and he shall be taken away by the spirit of his mouth (The flame shall dry up his branches, and then he shall be taken away by the wind).

31 Believe he not vainly which is deceived by error, that he shall be again-bought by any price. (He, who is deceived by error, vainly believeth that he shall be bought back, or redeemed, at any price.)

32 Before that his days be [ful]filled, he shall perish, and his hands shall wax dry;

33 he shall be hurt as a vine in the first flower of his grape, and as an olive tree casting away his flower. (he shall be like a vine that droppeth off its unripe grapes, or like an olive tree that casteth away its flowering buds.)

34 For the gathering together of an hypocrite is barren, and fire shall devour the tabernacles of them, that take gifts willfully. (For hypocrites, one and all, be barren, and fire shall devour the tents of those, who willingly take gifts.)

35 He conceived sorrow, and childed wickedness, and his womb maketh ready treacheries.

Douay-Rheims Catholic Bible RHE

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 will 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 mouth.

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.
