YLT
Young's Literal Translation
Then
Eliphaz the Temanite answered
and said,
And
Eliphaz the Temanite answereth
and saith:
--
If
we
assay
to
commune
with thee ,
wilt
thou
be
grieved
? but
who can
withhold
himself
from
speaking
?
Hath
one
tried
a
word
with thee? --
Thou
art
weary!
And
to
keep
in
words
who is
able
?
Behold
, thou hast instructed many, and thou
hast
strengthened
the
weak
hands.
Lo
, thou hast instructed many, And feeble
hands thou
makest
strong
.
Thy words have
upholden
him
that
was
falling
, and thou
hast
strengthened
the
feeble
knees.
The
stumbling
one
do
thy words raise
up
, And bowing
knees thou
dost
strengthen
.
But now it is
come
upon
thee, and thou faintest
; it toucheth
thee, and thou art troubled.
But now ,
it cometh
in
unto
thee, And thou art
weary
; It striketh
unto
thee, and thou art troubled.
Is not this
thy fear,
thy confidence ,
thy hope ,
and
the uprightness
of thy ways?
Is not thy reverence
thy confidence ?
Thy hope --
the perfection
of thy ways?
Remember, I pray thee, who ever
perished
, being innocent? or
where were
the righteous
cut off?
Remember, I pray thee, Who, being innocent ,
hath
perished
? And
where have
the upright
been
cut off?
Even
as I have seen ,
they
that
plow
iniquity, and sow
wickedness
, reap the
same.
As I have seen --
ploughers
of
iniquity, And sowers
of
misery
, reap it!
By
the blast
of God they perish, and by
the breath
of his nostrils
are
they
consumed.
From
the breath
of God they perish, And from
the spirit
of His anger
consumed.
The roaring of the
lion, and the voice of the
fierce lion, and the
teeth of the
young lions ,
are
broken.
The roaring of a
lion, And the voice of a
fierce lion, And teeth of young lions have
been
broken.
The
old lion perisheth
for
lack
of
prey, and the stout
lion's
whelps are
scattered
abroad
.
An
old lion is
perishing
without
prey, And the whelps of
the
lioness
do
separate
.
Now
a thing was
secretly brought to
me
, and mine ear received
a little thereof
.
And
unto
me
a thing is
secretly brought, And receive
doth
mine ear a little of
it
.
In thoughts from the
visions of the night, when
deep sleep falleth
on men,
In thoughts from visions of the night, In
the
falling
of
deep sleep on men,
Fear came
upon
me, and trembling, which
made
all
my bones to shake
.
Fear hath
met
me, and trembling, And
the
multitude
of
my bones caused
to fear
.
Then
a spirit passed
before my face ;
the hair of my flesh stood
up:
And
a spirit before my face doth
pass,
Stand
up
doth
the hair of my flesh ;
It stood
still
, but
I could
not
discern the
form
thereof:
an
image
was
before
mine eyes, there
was
silence ,
and I
heard
a voice ,
saying,
It standeth
, and
I discern not
its
aspect,
A
similitude
`is'
over-against
mine eyes, Silence !
and a voice I
hear:
Shall
mortal man be
more
just
than God ?
shall
a
man
be
more pure
than his maker?
`Is
mortal man than God more righteous?
Than his Maker is
a
man
cleaner
?
Behold
, he
put
no
trust
in his servants ;
and
his
angels
he charged
with
folly:
Lo
, in His servants He putteth
no
credence,
Nor
in
His
messengers
setteth
praise.'
How
much
less
in
them
that
dwell
in
houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, which
are
crushed
before the
moth ?
Also
--
the
inhabitants
of
houses of clay, (
Whose foundation `
is '
in the dust, They
bruise
them
before a
moth .)
They
are
destroyed
from morning to evening :
they
perish
for
ever
without any regarding it
.
From morning to evening are
beaten
down,
Without any regarding ,
for
ever
they
perish
.
Doth
not their excellency which
is
in
them go
away
? they die, even
without
wisdom .
Hath
not their excellency been
removed
with
them? They die, and
not
in
wisdom !
