19 (Ndi kwa iwowa kumene dziko lino linaperekedwa
pamene panalibe mlendo wokhala pakati pawo).
20 Munthu woyipa amavutika ndi masautso masiku onse a moyo wake,

27 “Ngakhale nkhope yake ndi yonenepa
ndipo mʼchiwuno mwake muli mnofu wambiri,
28 munthuyo adzakhala mʼmizinda yowonongeka
ndi mʼnyumba zosayenera kukhalamo anthu,
nyumba zimene zikugwa ndi kuwonongeka.
29 Iye sadzalemeranso ndipo chuma chake sichidzakhalitsa,
ngakhale minda yake sidzabala zipatso pa dziko lapansi.
30 Iyeyo sadzapulumuka mu mdimamo;
lawi lamoto lidzawumitsa nthambi zake,
ndipo mpweya wochokera mʼkamwa mwa Mulungu udzamusesa.
31 Asadzinyenge yekha podalira zinthu zachabechabe,
pakuti pa mapeto pake sadzaphulapo kanthu.
32 Iye adzalandira malipiro ake nthawi yake isanakwane,
ndipo nthambi zake sizidzaphukanso.
33 Iye adzakhala ngati mtengo wamphesa wopululidwa zipatso zake zisanapse,

34 Pakuti anthu osapembedza Mulungu adzakhala osabala
ndipo moto udzapsereza nyumba za onse okonda ziphuphu.
35 Iwo amalingalira zaupandu ndipo amachita zoyipa;
mtima wawo umakonzekera zachinyengo.”

Eliphaz
15 Then Eliphaz the Temanite(A) replied:
2 “Would a wise person answer with empty notions
or fill their belly with the hot east wind?(B)
3 Would they argue with useless words,
with speeches that have no value?(C)
4 But you even undermine piety
and hinder devotion to God.(D)
5 Your sin(E) prompts your mouth;(F)
you adopt the tongue of the crafty.(G)
6 Your own mouth condemns you, not mine;
your own lips testify against you.(H)
7 “Are you the first man ever born?(I)
Were you brought forth before the hills?(J)
8 Do you listen in on God’s council?(K)
Do you have a monopoly on wisdom?(L)
9 What do you know that we do not know?
What insights do you have that we do not have?(M)
10 The gray-haired and the aged(N) are on our side,
men even older than your father.(O)
11 Are God’s consolations(P) not enough for you,
words(Q) spoken gently to you?(R)
12 Why has your heart(S) carried you away,
and why do your eyes flash,
13 so that you vent your rage(T) against God
and pour out such words(U) from your mouth?(V)
14 “What are mortals, that they could be pure,
or those born of woman,(W) that they could be righteous?(X)
15 If God places no trust in his holy ones,(Y)
if even the heavens are not pure in his eyes,(Z)
16 how much less mortals, who are vile and corrupt,(AA)
who drink up evil(AB) like water!(AC)
17 “Listen to me and I will explain to you;
let me tell you what I have seen,(AD)
18 what the wise have declared,
hiding nothing received from their ancestors(AE)
19 (to whom alone the land(AF) was given
when no foreigners moved among them):
20 All his days the wicked man suffers torment,(AG)
the ruthless man through all the years stored up for him.(AH)
21 Terrifying sounds fill his ears;(AI)
when all seems well, marauders attack him.(AJ)
22 He despairs of escaping the realm of darkness;(AK)
he is marked for the sword.(AL)
23 He wanders about(AM) for food like a vulture;(AN)
he knows the day of darkness(AO) is at hand.(AP)
24 Distress and anguish(AQ) fill him with terror;(AR)
troubles overwhelm him, like a king(AS) poised to attack,
25 because he shakes his fist(AT) at God
and vaunts himself against the Almighty,(AU)
26 defiantly charging against him
with a thick, strong shield.(AV)
27 “Though his face is covered with fat
and his waist bulges with flesh,(AW)
28 he will inhabit ruined towns
and houses where no one lives,(AX)
houses crumbling to rubble.(AY)
29 He will no longer be rich and his wealth will not endure,(AZ)
nor will his possessions spread over the land.(BA)
30 He will not escape the darkness;(BB)
a flame(BC) will wither his shoots,(BD)
and the breath of God’s mouth(BE) will carry him away.(BF)
31 Let him not deceive(BG) himself by trusting what is worthless,(BH)
for he will get nothing in return.(BI)
32 Before his time(BJ) he will wither,(BK)
and his branches will not flourish.(BL)
33 He will be like a vine stripped of its unripe grapes,(BM)
like an olive tree shedding its blossoms.(BN)
34 For the company of the godless(BO) will be barren,
and fire will consume(BP) the tents of those who love bribes.(BQ)
35 They conceive trouble(BR) and give birth to evil;(BS)
their womb fashions deceit.”
