Job Chapter 15

Job 15

Second submission of a friend, Eliphaz

1 Eliphaz the Temanite, said:

2 what could be in the belly of the ancient people? Only a wise-man who is replenished with knowledge can answer by the SPIRIT. 

3 who will argue/correct HIS spoken-words? And why will you risk it, when HIS words can profit/be benefited to you?

4 if moral-reverence has diminished, that is when anyone will disrupt/break conversation in the presence of the main-leader.

5 with a cunning tongue of your mouth, you can choose a thousand things with perversities. 

6 however, by the response from the lips of your Mouth, you shall be condemned.

7 who begot child for Adam the first time? Did she whirl/writhe on a little-hills in your presence?

8 why, are you still diminished in wisdom, if you have listened to the secret deliberation of the Extremely Mighty One (Eloah eloah)?

9 what do you know? Because we also know and understand some things:

10 we are gray-headed, and aged in days, and as vast/powerful as your father;

11 few spoken-words of consolation from the main-Leader (Ela) would have dealt softly with you. 

12 but, what can you receive in your mind in a twinkling of an eye?

13 how could a main-Leader (El) restore you by the SPIRIT, with the words going out from your mouth?

14 how could a woman that just bear a child be pure? How could a mortal-man be justified?

15 only the Holy of Holies in heaven is believed to be pure in HIS eyes:

16 how could (These) extant-man who become abominable/loathed, by drinking/imbibing iniquities like water be?

17 listen, chest/contemplate on what is shown to you and take record. 

18 A wise person will boldly speak of the things of his father instead of denying it-

19 - he will also give them to strangers who are passing through the midst of the land. 

20 the number of days, the years of the wicked and the oppressors will  rotate are hidden. 

21 when robbers/burly ones come, their voice is a sudden alarm to prosperous-peace of all ears. 

22 - they believe in sword and lean forward/watch for darkness to return. 

23 - they wander around in darkness, knowing that, hands of someone have prepared food in daytime. 

24 A king who will attack effectively at the time, he is in a tight place, has been bowling/handling ball on reinforced-concrete to be ready for the future;

25 the main-Leader (el) will tilt/incline his hand like a valiant man (geber) against the overpowering one (shadday) - - 

26 - - if he could run with a thick shield by the back of his neck; - - 

27 - if his face is plump up with fat and his loins/flank is made plump; - - 

28 - - if while his house-holds are dwelling in the city and he will deny himself but sit down at the heap (of stones) to get ready (atad). 

29 - -if he will rise up as manager/director of army/force and incline to become wealthy on earth 

30 - and the mouth of his nursed ones will decline dry things by turning away from darkness under the flaming fire of the SPIRIT. 

31 - -however, if in exchange, he believes in meaningless noise and vaccilate/go  astray in self destruct;

32 - - his days will be replenished with things like non luxuriant-leaves of palm-tree:

33 - - because of being violent to flesh/human-body, they will cast down the branches of his grape-vines and olive-trees.

34 - -and because he is hypocrite and take bribe from lonely ones, fixtures of people will devour his tents with fire.

35 - - he is pregnant of deception/fraud in his belly and born children who are prepared to exert themselves in toiling.

Job's fourth reaction 

1 Job answered and said;

2 Listening to abundant things to be consoled is a hard-work:

3 and why your spoken words are to the extreme? Will the SPIRIT (of God) respond with such pressure/energy (month of march)?

4 IF your souls were my soul and I were to join, to rehearse words with you, I would have moved/shaken my head alongside with yours:

5 I would have been courageous with the motion of the lips of my mouth and still withhold some things.  

6 why walking all along to you and still withhold some things? Because I will only rehearse things that will stop your mental pain. 

7 - I am appalled and tired (leah) of your kind of fixtures of people:

8 - you are such a witness who rise-up and respond with denial/feigned things, just to get my face frowned/wrinkled, 

9 - you are with sharpened eyes, grating your teeth, to revile/oppose (sawtam) me in anger and to tear off/prey on someone in a tight place:

10 - you open wide your mouth - and replenish your cheek with reproach and wound/strike me altogether. 

11 you are like a main-leader (el) who lock down a young boy and hurl him into the hands of a wicked man (Aramaic) 

12 you rose up for a purpose/target, but you are breaking down serenity of someone; you have seized someone by his nape/back of his neck, and dashed him into pieces.

13 you are to surround to commiserate but you pierce reins/kidney open - and spill forth abundant bile/bitter things on the ground:

14 you break-up a gap on the surface, a gap that only the powerful ones can run over:

15 you sew (mourning) sackcloth as though it is an act of uncovering horn/fund from the dust of the earth; 

16 - - with weeping faces as though, for the shadow of death but with daubed/clayed eyelids. 

17 - - with clean palm (of the hand) but your supplication/prayer is of violence;

18 - - with a loud-cry in places, as if it will cover up the blood on the land. 

19 as if only a witness in elevated place can testify (sawheed) for me in heaven. 

20 oh, the Extremely Mighty God (Eloahh eloah); friends scoff at me and my eyes are dripping (with tears)

21 What kind of friends are these sons of Adam! The Extremely Mighty ONE (Eloahh eloahh) must correct/convince these valiant-men, - 

22 - who had walked with me for a number of years, only for you to turn back as we arrived at this path.

Job Chapter 17

Job 17

Job's fourth reaction continues... 

1 Oh, the SPIRIT (of God); as at this day, everyone bound in the grave are raging/angry. 

2 Why is my eyes embittered by mockery from those who are just staying overnight with me? 

3  who put hands to clap as they intermix;

4 whose brains are exalted but their emotions/feelings are concealed, 

5 friends that frankly declare to their sons, a portion that will finish up in their own eyes:

6 - people who present a byword/parable of contemptuous-rejection of Topheth (2king 23:10, Jer 7:31) in my presence;

7 If eyes become dull/dim under a shade, there will be a vexation about its formation/how it was shaped;

8 when a hypocrite is stirring up/awakening the upright, the innocent ones will be appalled/devastated:

9 If the Righteous is seized on the way, the purity of his hand will add to his inner-strength/bravery:

10 you came to restore me,  but on the contrary, you find out, I am a wise man;

11 because, from the day you cross over, it is like you plot to disconnect my inner-heart from my possession/authorized things.

12 the darkness of the night and the light of the daytime are put near in my face;

13 my households are expecting me to spread my bed in the darkness of sheol/hades;

14 when father and mother, and sisters that breed/raised him up will be calling out unto the pit. 

15 is there hope here now? There is hope of fortified walls, - - 

16 - - apart from descending into the dust of the earth, there will be restfulness in the sheol/hades, all together.
