Eliphaz Says the Innocent Do Not Suffer
4 Then Eliphaz the Temanite responded,
2 “If one ventures a word with you, will you become impatient?
But (A)who can refrain [a]from speaking?
3 Behold, (B)you have taught many,
And you have strengthened weak hands.
4 Your words have helped the stumbling to stand,
And you have strengthened [b]feeble knees.
5 But now it comes to you, and you (C)are impatient;
It (D)touches you, and you are horrified.
6 Is your [c](E)fear of God not (F)your confidence,
And the integrity of your ways your hope?
7 “Remember now, (G)who ever perished being innocent?
Or where were the upright destroyed?
8 According to what I have seen, (H)those who [d]plow wrongdoing
And those who sow trouble harvest it.
9 By (I)the breath of God they perish,
And (J)by the [e]blast of His anger they come to an end.
10 The (K)roaring of the lion and the voice of the fierce lion,
And the teeth of the young lions are broken out.
11 The (L)lion perishes for lack of prey,
And the (M)cubs of the lioness are scattered.
12 “Now a word (N)was brought to me secretly,
And my ear received a (O)whisper of it.
13 Amid disquieting (P)thoughts from visions of the night,
When deep sleep falls on people,
14 Dread came upon me, and trembling,
And made [f]all my bones shake.
15 Then a [g]spirit passed by my face;
The hair of my flesh stood up.
16 Something was standing still, but I could not recognize its appearance;
A form was before my eyes;
There was silence, then I heard a voice:
17 ‘Can (Q)mankind be righteous [h]before God?
Can a man be pure [i]before his (R)Maker?
18 (S)He puts no trust even in His servants;
And He accuses His angels of error.
19 How much more those who live in (T)houses of clay,
Whose (U)foundation is in the dust,
Who are crushed before the moth!
20 (V)Between morning and evening they are broken in pieces;
Unregarded, they (W)perish forever.
21 Is their (X)tent-cord not pulled out within them?
They die, yet (Y)without wisdom.’

Eliphaz Says the Innocent Do Not Suffer
4 Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,
2 “If one tries a word with you, will you become weary?
But (A)who can hold back [a]from speaking?
3 Behold, (B)you have disciplined many,
And you have strengthened limp hands.
4 Your words have [b]helped the stumbling to stand,
And you have encouraged [c]feeble knees.
5 But now it has come to you, and you (C)are impatient;
It (D)touches you, and you are dismayed.
6 Is not your [d](E)fear of God (F)your confidence,
And the integrity of your ways your hope?
7 “Remember now, (G)who ever perished being innocent?
Or where were the upright wiped out?
8 According to what I have seen, (H)those who plow wickedness
And those who sow trouble harvest it.
9 By (I)the breath of God they perish,
And (J)by the wind of His anger they come to an end.
10 The (K)roaring of the lion and the voice of the fierce lion,
And the teeth of the young lions are broken.
11 The (L)lion perishes for lack of prey,
And the (M)whelps of the lioness are scattered.
12 “Now a word (N)was brought to me stealthily,
And my ear received a (O)whisper of it.
13 Amid disquieting (P)thoughts from the visions of the night,
When deep sleep falls on men,
14 Dread came upon me, and trembling,
And made the multitude of my bones shake in dread.
15 Then a [e]spirit swept by my face;
The hair of my flesh bristled up.
16 It stood still, but I could not recognize its appearance;
A form was before my eyes;
There was silence, then I heard a voice:
17 ‘Can (Q)mankind be right [f]before God?
Can a man be pure [g]before his (R)Maker?
18 (S)He puts no trust even in His slaves;
And against His angels He charges error.
19 How much more those who dwell in (T)houses of clay,
Whose (U)foundation is in the dust,
Who are crushed before the moth!
20 (V)Between morning and evening they are broken in pieces;
[h]Unobserved, they (W)perish forever.
21 Is not their (X)tent-cord pulled up within them?
They die, yet (Y)without wisdom.’

Eliifas
4 Markaasaa Eliifas kii reer Teemaan u jawaabay, oo wuxuu ku yidhi,
2 Mid hadduu isku dayo inuu kula hadlo, ma ka xumaanaysaa?
Laakiinse bal yaa hadal iska celin kara?
3 Bal eeg, adigu kuwa badan wax baad bartay,
Oo gacmihii itaalka darnaana waad xoogaysay.
4 Erayadaadu way tiiriyeen kii sii dhacayay,
Oo jilbihii tabarta yaraana waad adkaysay.
5 Laakiinse haatan dhibaatadu aday kuu timid, oo waad taag yaraanaysaa,
Wayna ku soo gaadhay, oo waad dhibaataysan tahay.
6 War kalsoonidaadu sow ma aha cabsida aad Ilaahaaga ka cabsato,
Rajadaaduse sow ma aha daacadnimada jidadkaaga?
7 Waan ku baryayaaye bal wax xusuuso, bal yaa weligiis halligmay isagoo aan xaq qabin?
Amase xaggee baa mid qumman lagu halaagay?
8 Sidaan anigu arkay, weligoodba kuwii xumaan tacbadaa,
Oo belaayo beertaa, isla waxaasay goostaan.
9 Iyagu waxay ku baabba'aan Ilaah neeftiisa,
Oo waxay ku dhammaadaan afuufidda cadhadiisa.
10 Libaaxa cidiisii, iyo aarka cadhaysan codkiisii,
Iyo libaaxyada yaryar miciyahoodiiba waa jajabaan.
11 Libaaxa duqa ahu ugaadhla'aanta buu u bakhtiyaa,
Oo goosha dhasheediina way kala firdhaan.
12 Haddaba war baa qarsoodi la iigu keenay,
Oo dhegtayduna faqiisay qabsatay.
13 Habeenkii markay riyooyinku fikirro kiciyaan,
Oo ay dadku hurdo weyn ku fogaadaan,
14 Ayaa cabsi iyo gariiru igu dhacay,
Oo lafahayga oo dhammuna way wada ruxruxmadeen.
15 Markaasaa ruux wejigayga soo hor maray,
Oo timihii jidhkayguna waa soo wada istaageen.
16 Oo isagii wuu joogsaday, laakiinse muuqashadiisii waan kala saari waayay;
Muuqaal baa indhahayga hortooda joogay;
Intii mudda ah aamusnaan baa jirtay, dabadeedna waxaan maqlay cod leh,
17 War nin dhiman karaa miyuu Ilaah ka sii caaddilsanaan karaa?
Mase nin baa ka sii daahirsanaan kara kii isaga abuuray?
18 Bal eeg, isagu addoommadiisa iskuma halleeyo;
Oo malaa'igihiisana nacasnimuu ku eedeeyaa.
19 Intee ka sii badan buu eedeeyaa kuwa guryaha dhoobada ah deggan,
Oo aasaaskoodii boodhka ku jiro,
Oo sida balanbaallis u burbura!
20 Subaxdii iyo fiidkii inta ka dhex leh ayay baabba'aan;
Weligoodba way halligmaan iyadoo aan ciduna ka fikirayn.
21 Xadhkaha teendhooyinkoodii sow lama siibo?
Way dhintaan iyagoo aan xigmad lahayn.

Eliphaz
4 Then Eliphaz the Temanite(A) replied:
2 “If someone ventures a word with you, will you be impatient?
But who can keep from speaking?(B)
3 Think how you have instructed many,(C)
how you have strengthened feeble hands.(D)
4 Your words have supported those who stumbled;(E)
you have strengthened faltering knees.(F)
5 But now trouble comes to you, and you are discouraged;(G)
it strikes(H) you, and you are dismayed.(I)
6 Should not your piety be your confidence(J)
and your blameless(K) ways your hope?
7 “Consider now: Who, being innocent, has ever perished?(L)
Where were the upright ever destroyed?(M)
8 As I have observed,(N) those who plow evil(O)
and those who sow trouble reap it.(P)
9 At the breath of God(Q) they perish;
at the blast of his anger they are no more.(R)
10 The lions may roar(S) and growl,
yet the teeth of the great lions(T) are broken.(U)
11 The lion perishes for lack of prey,(V)
and the cubs of the lioness are scattered.(W)
12 “A word(X) was secretly brought to me,
my ears caught a whisper(Y) of it.(Z)
13 Amid disquieting dreams in the night,
when deep sleep falls on people,(AA)
14 fear and trembling(AB) seized me
and made all my bones shake.(AC)
15 A spirit glided past my face,
and the hair on my body stood on end.(AD)
16 It stopped,
but I could not tell what it was.
A form stood before my eyes,
and I heard a hushed voice:(AE)
17 ‘Can a mortal be more righteous than God?(AF)
Can even a strong man be more pure than his Maker?(AG)
18 If God places no trust in his servants,(AH)
if he charges his angels with error,(AI)
19 how much more those who live in houses of clay,(AJ)
whose foundations(AK) are in the dust,(AL)
who are crushed(AM) more readily than a moth!(AN)
20 Between dawn and dusk they are broken to pieces;
unnoticed, they perish forever.(AO)
21 Are not the cords of their tent pulled up,(AP)
so that they die(AQ) without wisdom?’(AR)
