Job Chapter 4

 Job 4

The first submission from a friend, Eliphaz 

1 Eliphaz the Temanite answers and says,

2 can we try/test this matter? Because I am tired (leah) of withholding words - 

3 - which will seize the hands of the weak ones and reform/instruct them in abundance.

4 (so that ) the knees that bend will rise up, and by my words, the tottering ones will be emboldened/encouraged-

5 and it will come to touch the wearied and the troubled ones.

6 Is there fear/reverence, integrity/innocence, hope and trust/confidence (kislev-9th month) in your way? 

7 did you remember any innocent one that ever lose his things? And what place, (when and how), has any upright person denied of his things?

8 just look at those who devise toiling/labouring and panting/exertion of self in silence; they can only reap what they sow;

9 and when their nostrils lost the Spirit of the Extremely MIGHTY God (Eloah eloah), their breathing shall cease:

10 As the roaring of lion, and the sound of the teeth of jackal can be a detestable to the infidels (in a walled village) - - 

11 - -   the same stout lioness will perish for lack of prey/fresh meat, even though, she could scatter the (complacent) children of Laish. 

12 steal a hint/a tiny piece from (my) spoken-words and received it into (your) ears. 

13 - when mortal-man is in a deep sleep, he could fall into a divided-opinions from a dream of the night;

14 which call out for sudden alarms that scare in abundance unto trembling of bones 

15 but, in the presence of the SPIRIT, it is like hairs standing erect on the flesh; because, things will change;

16 if a view is unfamiliar, stand still with the image before your eyes, and in silence, you will hear a voice. 

17 -  If a valiant-man must perform/does things to be purified, how will the Extremely Mighty ONE (Eloah eloah) just JUSTIFIES (tsadaq) a mortal-man?

18 even some angels, who  were put/ordained to be servants, are believed in being praised/are braggadocio;

19 who will be crumbled like grass in  fire in HIS presence. How much less those who dwell in a house of clay, with their foundation is in the dust? 

20 they are put/ordained to perish at the ultimate end, and to be broken down between morning and evening. 

21 so, why starting a journey, only to die by excess/too much wisdom? 

Job Chapter 5

 Job 5

Eliphaz continues... 

1 Why turning to the Holy of Holies, and be calling out, for you to be answered, for existing things? 

2 A fool who hit and slay because he is deluded/enticed by jealousy and anger/vexation will also die.

3 See a fool that get rooted - his habitation will be wounded/punctured suddenly -

4 - and his sons will be put far away from safety. They will be bruised at the gate, and be snatched away:

5 A leader unto leader are like thorns and they covet, take and eat/devour the harvest from the force/wealth of those who are fasting and hungry.

6 they went to the soil of those who by toiling and exertion of self on the dust of the earth, grow up plants; 

7 Adam gave birth in toiling, and  his sons are too arrogant/lofty to be kindled to fly.

8 on the contrary, they seek after a main-leader (el) who was put/ordain by Angelic Elohim and things spoken about, through them. 

9 they made great research/exploration of wonders without number:

10 - when rain is given outside, they send out its water to the surfaces even to the surface of their own land;

11 - they put the dark colored ones in lower places and elevated ones in a lofty place of refuge (sawgab) for all round safety:

12 - the thoughts/contrievances of the crafty must be frustrated - lest they execute the enterprises/resourcefulness of their hands;

13 - the counsel of the wise-one will be to quickly capture and westle/twist their craftiness (aram). 

14 because, they meet together daily, in the darkness of the night, like having feelings of afternoon:

15 - so, the poor need to be saved from the edge of the sword in the hands of the powerful ones;

16 and the only hope for the weak/poor ones is to skip/jump over the edge of their rising-iniquities:

17 Happy is the mortal-man, who is corrected (yakach) by the Extremely Mighty ONE (Eloah eloah) and reject the instructions of the overpowering/mighty-burly men (shadday)

18 when he is feeling pain, he will be bandaged up- and his hand will be healed when wounded:

19 even if evil touches him and he is in distress six times - he will be delivered in full (seven).

20 HIS Hand will redeem him - from hunger, sword and death during war;

21 - he will be hidden from the lash/whip of tongue, when plundering/violence that frighten comes

22 - he will play and laugh, when there is famine and plundering/ravaging that frightened the living  on earth, 

23 there will be a stone of covenant to be at peace, between the living in his country/field and another country/field

24 he will oversee his tabernacle to know if (anyone) sin, and there will be prosperous peace in his habitation -

25 his offsprings and even his descendants will know, the abundance of his herbs/plants on earth, - 

26 and he will mount up his stack of sheaves (of corn) in its season/time and he will go to the grave at old age. 

27 if you had listened attentively, and closely examined this, you would have known it.

Job Chapter 6

Job 6

Job's first reaction 

1 Job answered and said,

2 had it been, someone's grief/vexation altogether were to be (hayah) lifted and to be (havah) weighed on a measuring-balance, what a shekel it would be!

3 my matter will be as heavy as the sand that will gulp up the sea,-

4 - - if the poison of the arrow of the overpowering one (shadday) is drunk up, the dread/the difficult times is taking a stand against the value/worth of the Spirit of the Extremely-Mighty God.

5 Why will a wild-ass bray/growl before grass? why will mixture of feeds for oxen/bull be in elevated place? 

6 how would slime/insipid things be eaten with salt? Is there exist a taste in a  mucus/saliva while dreaming?

7 even, a sorrowful soul will be unwilling to touch food. 

8 - if granted to come for a request before the Extremely Mighty God, what a given hope for me!

9 what an Extremely Mighty God (Eloah eloah), that will consent to bruising and plundering someone and will shake off HIS HAND! 

10 Such that, the utterances of consolation in the holy of Holies will be denied and sparing/commiserating with someone in travail/pain will be rejected/abhorred. 

11 What is the vigor of a soul? How (far) will he wait for the uttermost end, if it is deferred/extended? 

12 Is his vigor/strength as that of stone? Is the strength of flesh as bronze?

13 it is like, when the all-round-help from his resourcefulness (to support him) is driven way;

14 when friends/associates forsake their kindness to the afflicted one, who is under the terror of the overpowering one/mighty-burly one (shadday);

15 when one's brother covers up (deceitfully) and pass through a stream in an estate/farm, even one's own estate, 

16 and when the dark-colour of mourning is concealed/veiled by a (whitish) frost/ice of  snow - 

17 - however, during hot season/time, it is a crossroad that all of them will diminish/wane, and flow away from the place. 

18 it is like someone who have  ascended on the road, and was tempted into a formless/chaotic path, and get lost:

19 like Tema, on a procession/a march to Sheba and hoping for what will emerge on their path there. (Sheba is a kingdom of Yemen and Ethiopian region) -

(note: Eliphaz is an Ishmaelite from Tema) 

20 - they trusted themselves and went there  before detecting, they will be put to shame. 

21 they were afraid as they saw them and they were dismayed/cast down. 

22 it is said, why bribing is being given out to anyone because of his vigor/strength? 

23 whose hand would have redeemed them from a tight place, and even be rescued from the hand of tyrannical ones?

24 they will fearfully devise/imagine in silence and understand where they have gone astray. 

25 what an energy/pressure are in the utterances that will correct things! And why convincing/correcting the upright?

26 If your words are contrived/plaited by the SPIRIT, why will the utterances that will convince/correct be desperate/be unto despair? 

27 if an orphan fall down, (bad) friends/neighbors had dug/plotted it for him. 

28 if you turn your face to those who tell-lies, you may yield/consent to them.

29 if you turn back from rising-iniquities - you will be restored by Justification. 

30 can rising-inquities exist in a tongue? How can someone understand that it had been in the palate of his mouth?
