Ang Unang Sagutan(A)
4 Sinabi ni Elifaz na Temaneo,
2 “Huwag mo sanang ikasamâ ng loob ang aking sasabihin,
di ko na kayang manahimik, di na ako makapagpigil.
3 Marami na ring tao ang iyong naturuan,
at mahihinang kamay ay iyong natulungan.
4 Salita mo'y nagpalakas sa nanlulupaypay,
sa mahina't pagod pangaral mo'y umalalay.
5 Ngayong ikaw na ang dumaranas ng matinding kahirapan,
nawawalan ka ng pag-asa at parang nais mong mabuwal?
6 Di ba't may takot ka sa Diyos at masunurin sa kanya?
Kaya dapat magtiwala ka at magkaroon ng pag-asa.
7 “Isipin mong mabuti: mayroon bang walang sala na napahamak ang buhay,
mayroon bang mabuting tao na dumanas ng kasawian?
8 Ang alam ko'y ang mga naghahasik ng kasamaan
ay sila ring nag-aani ng kaguluhan.
9 Kaya naman ang Diyos sa tindi ng galit sa kanila, parang dinaanan ng bagyo sila'y pinupuksa niya.
10 Mga masasamang tao'y parang leong umuungal,
ngunit pinatatahimik sila ng Diyos, ngipin nila'y tinatanggal.
11 Para silang leong walang mabiktima, namamatay sa gutom,
at nagkakawatak-watak ang mga anak nila.
12 “Minsan, ako ay may narinig,
salitang ibinulong sa aking pandinig.
13 Sa(B) lalim ng hatinggabi parang ako'y nanaginip kung kailan ang tao'y mahimbing na naiidlip.
14 Ako'y sinakmal ng matinding takot,
ako'y kinilabutan at nangatog ang tuhod.
15 Malamig na hangin, dumampi sa mukha ko,
sa takot ay nagtayuan ang aking balahibo.
16 May nakita akong doon ay nakatayo,
ngunit di ko mapagwari ang kanyang anyo.
Maya-maya, narinig ko ang isang tinig:
17 ‘Maaari bang maging matuwid ang isang tao sa paningin ng Diyos?
Sa harap ng Lumikha, mayroon bang malinis ang loob?
18 Mga lingkod niya sa langit di niya pinagkakatiwalaan,
sa kanya mismong mga anghel may nakikita siyang kamalian.
19 Paano pa siya magtitiwala sa taong mula sa alabok?
Tulad ng gamu-gamo, ito ay marupok.
20 Ang tao'y buháy ngayon, ngunit hindi tiyak kung mamaya;
siya pala ay patay na, di pa alam nitong madla.
21 Ang lahat niyang taglay sa kanya'y mawawala,
sa kanyang pagkamatay kulang pa rin sa unawa.’

Eliphaz Speaks: The Innocent Prosper
4 Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said:
2 “If one ventures a word with you, will you be impatient?
Yet who can keep from speaking?
3 Behold, you have instructed many,
and you have (A)strengthened the weak hands.
4 Your words have upheld him who was stumbling,
and you have (B)made firm the feeble knees.
5 But now it has come to you, and you are impatient;
it touches you, and you are dismayed.
6 (C)Is not your fear of God[a] your (D)confidence,
and the integrity of your ways your hope?
7 “Remember: (E)who that was innocent ever perished?
Or where were the upright cut off?
8 As I have seen, those who (F)plow iniquity
and sow trouble reap the same.
9 By (G)the breath of God they perish,
and by (H)the blast of his anger they are consumed.
10 The roar of the lion, the voice of the fierce lion,
(I)the teeth of the young lions are broken.
11 The strong lion perishes for lack of prey,
and the cubs of the lioness are scattered.
12 “Now a word was brought to me stealthily;
my ear received (J)the whisper of it.
13 Amid (K)thoughts from (L)visions of the night,
when (M)deep sleep falls on men,
14 dread came upon me, and trembling,
which made all my bones shake.
15 A spirit glided past my face;
the hair of my flesh stood up.
16 It stood still,
but I could not discern its appearance.
(N)A form was before my eyes;
there was silence, then I heard (O)a voice:
17 (P)‘Can mortal man be in the right before[b] God?
Can a man be pure before his Maker?
18 Even in his servants (Q)he puts no trust,
and his angels he charges with error;
19 how much more those who dwell in houses of (R)clay,
whose foundation is in (S)the dust,
who are crushed like[c] (T)the moth.
20 Between (U)morning and evening they are beaten to pieces;
they perish forever (V)without anyone regarding it.
21 Is not their tent-cord plucked up within them,
(W)do they not die, and that without wisdom?’

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)
