Eliphaz Speaks: Be Patient and Listen, Job
4 Then Eliphaz from Teman replied to Job,
2 “If someone tries to talk to you, will you become impatient?
But who can keep from talking?
3 Certainly, you have instructed many people:
When hands were weak, you made them strong.
4 When someone stumbled, you lifted him up with your words.
When knees were weak, you gave them strength.
5 But trouble comes to you, and you’re impatient.
It touches you, and you panic.
6 Doesn’t your fear of Elohim give you confidence
and your lifetime of integrity give you hope?
Only Evil People Suffer
7 “Now think about this:
Which innocent person ever died an untimely death?
Find me a decent person who has been destroyed.
8 Whenever I saw those who plowed wickedness and planted misery,
they gathered its harvest.
9 Eloah destroys them with his breath
and kills them with a blast of his anger.
10 Though the roar of the lion
and the growl of the ferocious lion is loud,
the young lions have had their teeth knocked out.
11 The old lions die without any prey to eat,
and the cubs of the lioness are scattered.
12 “I was told something secretly
and heard something whispered in my ear.
13 With disturbing thoughts from visions in the night,
when deep sleep falls on people,
14 fear and trembling came over me,
and all my bones shook.
15 A spirit passed in front of me.
It made my hair stand on end.
16 Something stood there.
I couldn’t tell what it was.
A vague image was in front of my eyes.
I heard a soft voice:
17 ‘Can any mortal be righteous to Eloah?
Can any human being be pure to his maker?’
18 “You see, Eloah doesn’t trust his own servants,
and he accuses his angels of making mistakes.
19 How much more will he accuse those who live in clay houses
that have their foundation in the dust.
Those houses can be crushed quicker than a moth!
20 From morning to evening, they are shattered.
They will disappear forever without anyone paying attention.
21 Haven’t the ropes of their tent been loosened?
Won’t they die without wisdom?

Elifas tar till orda
4 Elifas från Teman svarade:
2 Orkar du låta någon säga ett ord till dig?
För vem kan tiga nu?
3 Tänk på hur många du har gett vägledning
och styrkt svaga armar.
4 Dina ord har lyft den som snubblat,
du har gett stöd åt vacklande knän.
5 Men när det nu gäller dig själv
blir du missmodig,
och när det drabbar dig
blir du förskräckt.
6 Borde inte din gudsfruktan också vara din tillförsikt
och din oförvitlighet ditt hopp?
7 Tänk efter! Har en oskyldig någonsin gått under
eller en rättsinnig gått förlorad?
8 Jag har sett att de som plöjer ondska och sår ofärd
också får skörda det.
9 De förintas av Guds andedräkt,
en pust av hans vrede förgör dem.
10 Lejonets[a] rytande och unga lejonets vrål tystnar,
det manprydda lejonets tänder bryts.
11 I brist på rov förgås det kraftiga lejonet
och lejonungarna skingras.
12 Ett ord kom till mig i hemlighet,
som en viskning nådde det mitt öra,
13 i ängslande drömmar på natten,
när människorna sov djupt.
14 Rädsla och bävan föll över mig,
och hela min kropp darrade av skräck.
15 En vindpust[b] drog förbi mitt ansikte
och håren på min kropp reste sig.
16 Den stannade,
men jag kunde inte urskilja vad det var.
Någonting stod där, framför mig.
Då hörde jag en röst tala ur tystnaden:
17 ”Kan en människa vara rättfärdig inför Gud
och ren inför sin skapare?
18 Om Gud inte kan lita på sina tjänare,
om han till och med hos änglarna finner fel,
19 hur mycket mer då inte hos dem som bor i lerhyddor,
dem som har sitt ursprung i stoftet,
som kan krossas lättare än mal!
20 Mellan morgonen och kvällen bryts de ner,
obemärkt blir de borta för alltid.
21 Deras tältpluggar rycks upp för dem,
och de dör utan visdom.”

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)
