Primera respuesta de Elifaz a Job
4 Entonces Elifaz el temanita respondió a Job:
2 «¿Podrías ser paciente y permitirme que te diga unas palabras?
Pues, ¿quién podría quedarse callado?
3 »Antes alentabas a mucha gente
y fortalecías a los débiles.
4 Tus palabras daban apoyo a los que caían;
animabas a los de rodillas temblorosas.
5 Sin embargo, ahora que las desgracias te acosan, te desanimas;
te llenas de miedo cuando te afectan a ti.
6 ¿No te da confianza tu reverencia a Dios?
¿No te da esperanza tu vida de integridad?
7 »¡Detente a pensar! ¿Mueren los inocentes?
¿Cuándo han sido destruidos los justos?
8 La experiencia me dice que los que siembran problemas
y cultivan el mal, eso cosecharán.
9 Un soplo de Dios los destruye
y se desvanecen con una ráfaga de su enojo.
10 Ruge el león y gruñen los gatos monteses,
pero a los leones fuertes se les romperán los dientes.
11 El feroz león morirá de hambre por falta de presa,
y los cachorros de la leona serán dispersados.
12 »En secreto recibí esta verdad,
como si me la hubieran susurrado al oído.
13 Me llegó en una inquietante visión durante la noche,
cuando la gente duerme profundamente.
14 El miedo se apoderó de mí,
y mis huesos temblaron.
15 Un espíritu[a] pasó frente a mi cara,
y se me pusieron los pelos de punta.[b]
16 El espíritu se detuvo, pero no pude ver su forma;
había una silueta delante de mis ojos.
En el silencio, oí una voz que dijo:
17 “¿Puede un mortal ser inocente ante Dios?
¿Puede alguien ser puro ante el Creador?”.
18 »Si Dios no confía en sus propios ángeles
y acusa a sus mensajeros de necedad,
19 ¡cuánto menos confiará en los seres humanos hechos de barro!
Están hechos de polvo; son aplastados tan fácilmente como una polilla.
20 Están vivos en la mañana, pero muertos por la tarde;
desaparecen para siempre sin dejar rastro.
21 Se les arrancan las cuerdas, se derrumba la carpa
y mueren en ignorancia.

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)

4 Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,
2 If we assay to commune with thee, wilt thou be grieved? but who can withhold himself from speaking?
3 Behold, thou hast instructed many, and thou hast strengthened the weak hands.
4 Thy words have upholden him that was falling, and thou hast strengthened the feeble knees.
5 But now it is come upon thee, and thou faintest; it toucheth thee, and thou art troubled.
6 Is not this thy fear, thy confidence, thy hope, and the uprightness of thy ways?
7 Remember, I pray thee, who ever perished, being innocent? or where were the righteous cut off?
8 Even as I have seen, they that plow iniquity, and sow wickedness, reap the same.
9 By the blast of God they perish, and by the breath of his nostrils are they consumed.
10 The roaring of the lion, and the voice of the fierce lion, and the teeth of the young lions, are broken.
11 The old lion perisheth for lack of prey, and the stout lion's whelps are scattered abroad.
12 Now a thing was secretly brought to me, and mine ear received a little thereof.
13 In thoughts from the visions of the night, when deep sleep falleth on men,
14 Fear came upon me, and trembling, which made all my bones to shake.
15 Then a spirit passed before my face; the hair of my flesh stood up:
16 It stood still, but I could not discern the form thereof: an image was before mine eyes, there was silence, and I heard a voice, saying,
17 Shall mortal man be more just than God? shall a man be more pure than his maker?
18 Behold, he put no trust in his servants; and his angels he charged with folly:
19 How much less in them that dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, which are crushed before the moth?
20 They are destroyed from morning to evening: they perish for ever without any regarding it.
21 Doth not their excellency which is in them go away? they die, even without wisdom.
