Job 5
Names of God Bible
Eliphaz Continues: Seek God’s Help, Job
5 “Cry out!
Is there anyone to answer you?
To which of the holy ones will you turn?
2 Certainly, anger kills a stubborn fool,
and jealousy murders a gullible person.
3 I have seen a stubborn fool take root,
but I quickly cursed his house.
4 His children are far from help.
They are crushed at the city gate,
and no one is there to rescue them.
5 What a stubborn fool gathers, hungry people eat.
They take it even from among the thorns,
and thirsty people pant after his wealth.[a]
6 Certainly, sorrow doesn’t come from the soil,
and trouble doesn’t sprout from the ground.
7 But a person is born for trouble as surely as sparks fly up from a fire.
8 “But I would seek El’s help
and present my case to Elohim.
9 He does great things that we cannot understand
and miracles that we cannot count.
10 He gives rain to the earth
and sends water to the fields.
11 He places lowly people up high.
He lifts those who mourn to safety.
12 He keeps shrewd people from carrying out their plans
so that they cannot do anything successfully.
13 He catches the wise with their own tricks.
The plans of schemers prove to be hasty.
14 In the daytime they meet darkness
and grope in the sunlight as if it were night.
15 “But he saves other people from their slander
and the needy from the power of the mighty.
16 Then the poor have hope
while wrongdoing shuts its mouth.
Blessing Comes When God Corrects You
17 “Blessed is the person whom Eloah corrects.
That person should not despise discipline from Shadday.
18 God injures, but he bandages.
He beats you up, but his hands make you well.
19 He will keep you safe from six troubles,
and when the seventh one comes, no harm will touch you:
20 “In famine he will save you from death,
and in war he will save you from the sword.
21 “When the tongue lashes out, you will be safe,
and you will not be afraid of destruction when it comes.
22 “You will be able to laugh at destruction and starvation,
so do not be afraid of wild animals on the earth.
23 “You will have a binding agreement with the stones in the field,
and wild animals will be at peace with you.
24 “You will know peace in your tent.
You will inspect your house and find nothing missing.
25 “You will find that your children are many
and your descendants are like the grass of the earth.
26 “You will come to your grave at a ripe old age
like a stack of hay in the right season.
27 “We have studied all of this thoroughly! This is the way it is.
Listen to it, and learn it for yourself.”

Job 5
New King James Version
Eliphaz: Job Is Chastened by God
5 “Call out now;
Is there anyone who will answer you?
And to which of the holy ones will you turn?
2 For wrath kills a foolish man,
And envy slays a simple one.
3 (A)I have seen the foolish taking root,
But suddenly I cursed his dwelling place.
4 His sons are (B)far from safety,
They are crushed in the gate,
And (C)there is no deliverer.
5 Because the hungry eat up his harvest,
[a]Taking it even from the thorns,
[b]And a snare snatches their [c]substance.
6 For affliction does not come from the dust,
Nor does trouble spring from the ground;
7 Yet man is (D)born to [d]trouble,
As the sparks fly upward.
8 “But as for me, I would seek God,
And to God I would commit my cause—
9 Who does great things, and unsearchable,
Marvelous things without number.
10 (E)He gives rain on the earth,
And sends waters on the fields.
11 (F)He sets on high those who are lowly,
And those who mourn are lifted to safety.
12 (G)He frustrates the devices of the crafty,
So that their hands cannot carry out their plans.
13 He catches the (H)wise in their own craftiness,
And the counsel of the cunning comes quickly upon them.
14 They meet with darkness in the daytime,
And grope at noontime as in the night.
15 But (I)He saves the needy from the sword,
From the mouth of the mighty,
And from their hand.
16 (J)So the poor have hope,
And injustice shuts her mouth.
17 “Behold,(K) happy is the man whom God corrects;
Therefore do not despise the chastening of the Almighty.
18 (L)For He bruises, but He binds up;
He wounds, but His hands make whole.
19 (M)He shall deliver you in six troubles,
Yes, in seven (N)no evil shall touch you.
20 (O)In famine He shall redeem you from death,
And in war from the [e]power of the sword.
21 (P)You shall be hidden from the scourge of the tongue,
And you shall not be afraid of destruction when it comes.
22 You shall laugh at destruction and famine,
And (Q)you shall not be afraid of the (R)beasts of the earth.
23 (S)For you shall have a covenant with the stones of the field,
And the beasts of the field shall be at peace with you.
24 You shall know that your tent is in peace;
You shall visit your dwelling and find nothing amiss.
25 You shall also know that (T)your descendants shall be many,
And your offspring (U)like the grass of the earth.
26 (V)You shall come to the grave at a full age,
As a sheaf of grain ripens in its season.
27 Behold, this we have (W)searched out;
It is true.
Hear it, and know for yourself.”
Jó 5
Almeida Revista e Corrigida 2009
Elifaz exorta a Jó a que busque a Deus
5 Chama agora; há alguém que te responda? E para qual dos santos te virarás? 2 Porque a ira destrói o louco; e o zelo mata o tolo. 3 Bem vi eu o louco lançar raízes; mas logo amaldiçoei a sua habitação. 4 Seus filhos estão longe da salvação; e são despedaçados às portas, e não há quem os livre. 5 A sua messe a devora o faminto, que até dentre os espinhos a tira; e o salteador traga a sua fazenda. 6 Porque do pó não procede a aflição, nem da terra brota o trabalho. 7 Mas o homem nasce para o trabalho, como as faíscas das brasas se levantam para voar.
8 Mas quanto a mim eu buscaria a Deus, e a ele dirigiria a minha fala. 9 Ele faz coisas tão grandiosas, que se não podem esquadrinhar; e tantas maravilhas que se não podem contar. 10 Ele dá a chuva sobre a terra e envia água sobre os campos, 11 para pôr os abatidos num lugar alto; e para que os enlutados se exaltem na salvação. 12 Ele aniquila as imaginações dos astutos, para que as suas mãos não possam levar coisa alguma a efeito. 13 Ele apanha os sábios na sua própria astúcia; e o conselho dos perversos se precipita. 14 Eles, de dia, encontram as trevas; e, ao meio-dia, andam como de noite, às apalpadelas. 15 Mas ao necessitado livra da espada da sua boca, e da mão do forte. 16 Assim, há esperança para o pobre; e a iniquidade tapa a sua própria boca.
17 Eis que bem-aventurado é o homem a quem Deus castiga; não desprezes, pois, o castigo do Todo-Poderoso. 18 Porque ele faz a chaga, e ele mesmo a liga; ele fere, e as suas mãos curam. 19 Em seis angústias, te livrará; e, na sétima, o mal te não tocará. 20 Na fome, te livrará da morte; e, na guerra, da violência da espada. 21 Do açoite da língua estarás abrigado; e não temerás a assolação, quando vier. 22 Da assolação e da fome te rirás; e os animais da terra não temerás. 23 Porque até com as pedras do campo terás a tua aliança; e os animais do campo estarão contigo. 24 E saberás que a tua tenda está em paz; e visitarás a tua habitação, e nada te faltará. 25 Também saberás que se multiplicará a tua semente, e a tua posteridade, como a erva da terra. 26 Na velhice virás à sepultura, como se recolhe o feixe de trigo a seu tempo.
27 Eis que isto já o havemos inquirido, e assim é; ouve-o e medita nisso para teu bem.
