1Ὑπολαβὼν δὲ Ελιφας ὁ Θαιμανίτης λέγει
 Then Eliphaz the Thaemanite answered and said,
THE THIRD DIALOGUE. Jb.22.1-27.23. Eliphaz. Jb.22.1-30Then Eli'phaz the Te'manite answered:וַיַּעַן אֱלִיפַז הַתֵּמָנִי וַיֹּאמַר׃ 1
2Πότερον οὐχὶ ὁ κύριός ἐστιν ὁ διδάσκων σύνεσιν καὶ ἐπιστήμην;
 Is it not the Lord that teaches understanding and knowledge?
 "Can a man be profitable to God?
Surely he who is wise is profitable to himself.
הַלְאֵל יִסְכָּן־גָּבֶר כִּי־יִסְכֹּן עָלֵימֹו מַשְׂכִּיל׃ 2
3τί γὰρ μέλει τῷ κυρίῳ, ἐὰν σὺ ἦσθα τοῖς ἔργοις ἄμεμπτος;
ἢ ὠφέλεια ὅτι ἁπλώσῃς τὴν ὁδόν σου;
 For what matters it to the Lord, if you was blameless in [your] works?
or is it profitable that you should perfect your way?
 Is it any pleasure to the Almighty if you are righteous,
or is it gain to him if you make your ways blameless?
הַחֵפֶץ לְשַׁדַּי כִּי תִצְדָּק וְאִם־בֶּצַע כִּי־תַתֵּם דְּרָכֶיךָ׃ 3
4ἦ λόγον σου ποιούμενος ἐλέγξει σε καὶ συνεισελεύσεταί σοι εἰς κρίσιν;
 Will you maintain and plead your own cause?
and will he enter into judgment with you?
 Is it for your fear of him that he reproves you,
and enters into judgment with you?
הֲמִיִּרְאָתְךָ יֹכִיחֶךָ יָבֹוא עִמְּךָ בַּמִּשְׁפָּט׃ 4
5πότερον οὐχ ἡ κακία σού ἐστιν πολλή,
ἀναρίθμητοι δέ σού εἰσιν αἱ ἁμαρτίαι;
 Is not your wickedness abundant,
and your sins innumerable?
 Is not your wickedness great?
There is no end to your iniquities.
הֲלֹא רָעָתְךָ רַבָּה וְאֵין־קֵץ לַעֲוֹנֹתֶיךָ׃ 5
6ἠνεχύραζες δὲ τοὺς ἀδελφούς σου διὰ κενῆς,
ἀμφίασιν δὲ γυμνῶν ἀφείλου·
 And you have taken security of your brethren for nothing,
and have taken away the clothing of the naked.
 For you have exacted pledges of your brothers for nothing,
and stripped the naked of their clothing.
כִּי־תַחְבֹּל אַחֶיךָ חִנָּם וּבִגְדֵי עֲרוּמִּים תַּפְשִׁיט׃ 6
7οὐδὲ ὕδωρ διψῶντας ἐπότισας,
ἀλλὰ πεινώντων ἐστέρησας ψωμόν·
 Neither have you given water to the thirsty to drink,
but have taken away the morsel of the hungry.
 You have given no water to the weary to drink,
and you have withheld bread from the hungry.
לֹא־מַיִם עָיֵף תַּשְׁקֶה וּמֵרָעֵב תִּמְנַע־לָחֶם׃ 7
8ἐθαύμασας δέ τινων πρόσωπον,
ᾤκισας δὲ τοὺς ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς·
 And you have accepted the persons of some;
and you have established those [that were already settled] on the earth.
 The man with power possessed the land,
and the favored man dwelt in it.
וְאִישׁ זְרֹועַ לֹו הָאָרֶץ וּנְשׂוּא פָנִים יֵשֶׁב בָּהּ׃ 8
9χήρας δὲ ἐξαπέστειλας κενάς,
ὀρφανοὺς δὲ ἐκάκωσας.
 But you have sent widows away empty,
and has afflicted orphans.
 You have sent widows away empty,
and the arms of the fatherless were crushed.
אַלְמָנֹות שִׁלַּחְתָּ רֵיקָם וּזְרֹעֹות יְתֹמִים יְדֻכָּא׃ 9
10τοιγαροῦν ἐκύκλωσάν σε παγίδες,
καὶ ἐσπούδασέν σε πόλεμος ἐξαίσιος·
 Therefore snares have compassed you,
and disastrous war has troubled you.
 Therefore snares are round about you,
and sudden terror overwhelms you;
עַל־כֵּן סְבִיבֹותֶיךָ פַחִים וִיבַהֶלְךָ פַּחַד פִּתְאֹם׃ 10
11τὸ φῶς σοι σκότος ἀπέβη,
κοιμηθέντα δὲ ὕδωρ σε ἐκάλυψεν.
 The light has proved darkness to you,
and water has covered you on your lying down.
 your light is darkened, so that you cannot see,
and a flood of water covers you.
אֹו־חֹשֶׁךְ לֹא־תִרְאֶה וְשִׁפְעַת־מַיִם תְּכַסֶּךָּ׃ 11
12μὴ οὐχὶ ὁ τὰ ὑψηλὰ ναίων ἐφορᾷ,
τοὺς δὲ ὕβρει φερομένους ἐταπείνωσεν;
 Does not he that dwells in the high places observe?
and has he not brought down the proud?
 "Is not God high in the heavens?
See the highest stars, how lofty they are!
הֲלֹא־אֱלֹוהַּ גֹּבַהּ שָׁמָיִם וּרְאֵה רֹאשׁ כֹּוכָבִים כִּי־רָמּוּ׃ 12
13καὶ εἶπας Τί ἔγνω ὁ ἰσχυρός;
ἦ κατὰ τοῦ γνόφου κρινεῖ;
 And you has said, What does the Mighty One know?
does he judge in the dark?
 Therefore you say, 'What does God know?
Can he judge through the deep darkness?
וְאָמַרְתָּ מַה־יָּדַע אֵל הַבְעַד עֲרָפֶל יִשְׁפֹּוט׃ 13
14νέφη ἀποκρυφὴ αὐτοῦ,
καὶ οὐχ ὁραθήσεται καὶ γῦρον οὐρανοῦ διαπορεύσεται.
 A cloud is his hiding-place,
and he shall not be seen;
and he passes through the circle of heaven.
 Thick clouds enwrap him, so that he does not see,
and he walks on the vault of heaven.'
עָבִים סֵתֶר־לֹו וְלֹא יִרְאֶה וְחוּג שָׁמַיִם יִתְהַלָּךְ׃ 14
15μὴ τρίβον αἰώνιον φυλάξεις,
ἣν ἐπάτησαν ἄνδρες ἄδικοι,
 Will you [not] mark the old way,
which righteous men have trodden?
 Will you keep to the old way
which wicked men have trod?
הַאֹרַח עֹולָם תִּשְׁמֹר אֲשֶׁר דָּרְכוּ מְתֵי־אָוֶן׃ 15
16οἳ συνελήμφθησαν ἄωροι;
ποταμὸς ἐπιρρέων οἱ θεμέλιοι αὐτῶν·
 who were seized before their time:
their foundations [are as] an overflowing stream.
 They were snatched away before their time;
their foundation was washed away.
אֲשֶׁר־קֻמְּטוּ וְלֹא־עֵת נָהָר יוּצַק יְסֹודָם׃ 16
17οἱ λέγοντες Κύριος τί ποιήσει ἡμῖν;
ἢ τί ἐπάξεται ἡμῖν ὁ παντοκράτωρ;
 Who say, What will the Lord do to us?
or what will the Almighty bring upon us?
 They said to God, 'Depart from us,'
and 'What can the Almighty do to us?'
הָאֹמְרִים לָאֵל סוּר מִמֶּנּוּ וּמַה־יִּפְעַל שַׁדַּי לָמֹו׃ 17
18ὃς δὲ ἐνέπλησεν τοὺς οἴκους αὐτῶν ἀγαθῶν,
βουλὴ δὲ ἀσεβῶν πόρρω ἀπ' αὐτοῦ.
 Yet he filled their houses with good things:
but the counsel for the wicked is far from him.
 Yet he filled their houses with good things -
but the counsel of the wicked is far from me.
וְהוּא מִלֵּא בָתֵּיהֶם טֹוב וַעֲצַת רְשָׁעִים רָחֲקָה מֶנִּי׃ 18
19ἰδόντες δίκαιοι ἐγέλασαν,
ἄμεμπτος δὲ ἐμυκτήρισεν.
 The righteous have seen [it], and laughed,
and the blameless one has derided [them].
 The righteous see it and are glad;
the innocent laugh them to scorn,
יִרְאוּ צַדִּיקִים וְיִשְׂמָחוּ וְנָקִי יִלְעַג־לָמֹו׃ 19
20εἰ μὴ ἠφανίσθη ἡ ὑπόστασις αὐτῶν,
καὶ τὸ κατάλειμμα αὐτῶν καταφάγεται πῦρ.
 Verily their substance has been utterly destroyed,
and the fire shall devour what is left of their [property].
 saying, 'Surely our adversaries are cut off,
and what they left the fire has consumed.'
אִם־לֹא נִכְחַד קִימָנוּ וְיִתְרָם אָכְלָה אֵשׁ׃ 20
21γενοῦ δὴ σκληρός, ἐὰν ὑπομείνῃς·
εἶτ ὁ καρπός σου ἔσται ἐν ἀγαθοῖς.
 Be firm, I pray you, if you can endure;
then your fruit shall prosper.
 "Agree with God, and be at peace;
thereby good will come to you.
הַסְכֶּן־נָא עִמֹּו וּשְׁלָם בָּהֶם תְּבֹואַתְכָ טֹובָה׃ 21
22ἔκλαβε δὲ ἐκ στόματος αὐτοῦ ἐξηγορίαν,
καὶ ἀνάλαβε τὰ ῥήματα αὐτοῦ ἐν καρδίᾳ σου.
 And receive a declaration from his mouth,
and lay up his words in your heart.
 Receive instruction from his mouth,
and lay up his words in your heart.
קַח־נָא מִפִּיו תֹּורָה וְשִׂים אֲמָרָיו בִּלְבָבֶךָ׃ 22
23ἐὰν δὲ ἐπιστραφῇς καὶ ταπεινώσῃς σεαυτὸν ἔναντι κυρίου,
πόρρω ἐποίησας ἀπὸ διαίτης σου τὸ ἄδικον.
 And if you shall turn and humble yourself before the Lord,
you have [thus] removed unrighteousness far from your habitation.
 If you return to the Almighty and humble yourself,
if you remove unrighteousness far from your tents,
אִם־תָּשׁוּב עַד־שַׁדַּי תִּבָּנֶה תַּרְחִיק עַוְלָה מֵאָהֳלֶךָ׃ 23
24θήσῃ ἐπὶ χώματι ἐν πέτρᾳ,
καὶ ὡς πέτρᾳ χειμάρρους Ωφιρ.
 You shall lay up for yourself [treasure] in a heap on the rock;
and Sophir [shall be] as the rock of the torrent.
 if you lay gold in the dust,
and gold of Ophir among the stones of the torrent bed,
וְשִׁית־עַל־עָפָר בָּצֶר וּבְצוּר נְחָלִים אֹופִיר׃ 24
25ἔσται οὖν σου ὁ παντοκράτωρ βοηθὸς ἀπὸ ἐχθρῶν,
καθαρὸν δὲ ἀποδώσει σε ὥσπερ ἀργύριον πεπυρωμένον.
 So the Almighty shall be your helper from enemies,
and he shall bring you forth pure as silver that has been tried by fire.
 and if the Almighty is your gold,
and your precious silver;
וְהָיָה שַׁדַּי בְּצָרֶיךָ וְכֶסֶף תֹּועָפֹות לָךְ׃ 25
26εἶτα παρρησιασθήσῃ ἔναντι Κυρίου ἀναβλέψας εἰς τὸν οὐρανὸν ἱλαρῶς·
 Then shall you have boldness before the Lord,
looking up cheerfully to heaven.
 then you will delight yourself in the Almighty,
and lift up your face to God.
כִּי־אָז עַל־שַׁדַּי תִּתְעַנָּג וְתִשָּׂא אֶל־אֱלֹוהַּ פָּנֶיךָ׃ 26
27εὐξαμένου δέ σου πρὸς αὐτὸν εἰσακούσεταί σου,
δώσει δέ σοι ἀποδοῦναι τὰς εὐχάς·
 And he shall hear you when you pray to him,
and he shall grant you [power] to pay your vows.
 You will make your prayer to him, and he will hear you;
and you will pay your vows.
תַּעְתִּיר אֵלָיו וְיִשְׁמָעֶךָּ וּנְדָרֶיךָ תְשַׁלֵּם׃ 27
28ἀποκαταστήσει δέ σοι δίαιταν δικαιοσύνης,
ἐπὶ δὲ ὁδοῖς σου ἔσται φέγγος.
 And he shall establish to you again a habitation of righteousness and there shall be light upon your paths.
 You will decide on a matter, and it will be established for you,
and light will shine on your ways.
וְתִגְזַר־אֹומֶר וְיָקָם לָךְ וְעַל־דְּרָכֶיךָ נָגַהּ אֹור׃ 28
29ὅτι ἐταπείνωσεν αὐτόν, καὶ ἐρεῖς Ὑπερηφανεύσατο,
καὶ κύφοντα ὀφθαλμοῖς σώσει·
 Because you have humbled yourself;
and you shall say, [Man] has behaved proudly,
but he shall save him that is of lowly eyes.
 For God abases the proud,
but he saves the lowly.
כִּי־הִשְׁפִּילוּ וַתֹּאמֶר גֵּוָה וְשַׁח עֵינַיִם יֹושִׁעַ׃ 29
30ῥύσεται ἀθῷον,
καὶ διασώθητι ἐν καθαραῖς χερσίν σου.
 He shall deliver the innocent,
and do you save yourself by your pure hands.
 He delivers the innocent man;
you will be delivered through the cleanness of your hands."		יְמַלֵּט אִי־נָקִי וְנִמְלַט בְּבֹר כַּפֶּיךָ׃ ף 30
