וַ֭יַּעַן SDBH replied אֱלִיפַ֥ז SDBH Then Eliphaz הַֽתֵּמָנִ֗י SDBH the Temanite וַיֹּאמַֽר׃ SDBH . . .

Then Eliphaz of Teman answered and said,

2

הַלְאֵ֥ל SDBH to G-d יִסְכָּן־ SDBH be of use גָּ֑בֶר SDBH Can a man כִּֽי־ Can even יִסְכֹּ֖ן SDBH benefit עָלֵ֣ימוֹ Him מַשְׂכִּֽיל׃ SDBH a wise man

Can a gever be profitable unto El, as he that has seichel may be profitable unto himself?

3

הַחֵ֣פֶץ SDBH Does it delight לְ֭שַׁדַּי SDBH the Almighty כִּ֣י that תִצְדָּ֑ק SDBH you are righteous וְאִם־ SDBH . . . בֶּ֝֗צַע SDBH Does He profit כִּֽי־ if תַתֵּ֥ם SDBH are blameless דְּרָכֶֽיךָ׃ SDBH your ways

Is it any pleasure to Shaddai, that thou art tzaddik? Or is it gain to Him, that thou makest thy ways blameless?

4

הֲֽ֭מִיִּרְאָ֣תְךָ SDBH Is it for your reverence יֹכִיחֶ֑ךָ SDBH that He rebukes you יָב֥וֹא SDBH and enters עִ֝מְּךָ֗ against you בַּמִּשְׁפָּֽט׃ SDBH into judgment

Is it for thy yireh [Elohim] that He reproves thee? Will He enter with thee into mishpat?

5

הֲלֹ֣א SDBH Is not רָעָֽתְךָ֣ SDBH your wickedness רַבָּ֑ה SDBH great וְאֵֽין־ SDBH endless קֵ֝֗ץ SDBH . . . לַעֲוֺנֹתֶֽיךָ׃ SDBH Are not your iniquities

Is not thy rah great? And thine avonot infinite?

6

כִּֽי־ For תַחְבֹּ֣ל SDBH demanded security אַחֶ֣יךָ SDBH from your brothers חִנָּ֑ם SDBH {you} needlessly וּבִגְדֵ֖י SDBH of their clothing עֲרוּמִּ֣ים SDBH the naked תַּפְשִֽׁיט׃ SDBH and deprived

For thou hast exacted a pledge from thy brother for naught, and stripped the arummim (naked ones) of their clothing.

7

לֹא־ SDBH no מַ֭יִם SDBH water עָיֵ֣ף SDBH to the weary תַּשְׁקֶ֑ה SDBH You gave וּ֝מֵרָעֵ֗ב SDBH from the famished תִּֽמְנַֽע־ SDBH and withheld לָֽחֶם׃ SDBH food

Thou hast not given mayim to the weary to drink, and thou hast withheld lechem from the hungry.

8

וְאִ֣ישׁ SDBH man זְ֭רוֹעַ SDBH belonged to a mighty ל֣וֹ הָאָ֑רֶץ SDBH while the land וּנְשׂ֥וּא SDBH and a man פָ֝נִ֗ים of honor יֵ֣שֶׁב SDBH lived בָּֽהּ׃ on it

But as for the ish zeroa (mighty man), his is ha'aretz; and the honorable man dwelt therein.

9

אַ֭לְמָנוֹת SDBH You sent widows שִׁלַּ֣חְתָּ SDBH away רֵיקָ֑ם SDBH empty-handed וּזְרֹע֖וֹת SDBH and the strength יְתֹמִ֣ים SDBH of the fatherless יְדֻכָּֽא׃ SDBH was crushed

Thou hast sent almanot away empty, and the arms of the yetomim have been broken.

10

עַל־ Therefore כֵּ֭ן SDBH . . . סְבִיבוֹתֶ֣יךָ surround you פַחִ֑ים SDBH snares וִֽ֝יבַהֶלְךָ SDBH terrifies you פַּ֣חַד SDBH peril פִּתְאֹֽם׃ SDBH and sudden

Therefore pachim (snares) are around thee, and sudden pachad troubleth thee;

11

אוֹ־ SDBH - חֹ֥שֶׁךְ SDBH it is so dark לֹֽא־ SDBH you cannot תִרְאֶ֑ה SDBH see וְֽשִׁפְעַת־ SDBH and a flood מַ֥יִם SDBH of water תְּכַסֶּֽךָּ׃ SDBH covers you

Or choshech, that thou canst not see; and overflow of mayim cover thee.

12

הֲ‍ֽלֹא־ SDBH Is not אֱ֭לוֹהַּ SDBH G-d גֹּ֣בַהּ SDBH as high שָׁמָ֑יִם SDBH as the heavens וּרְאֵ֤ה SDBH Look at רֹ֖אשׁ SDBH the highest כּוֹכָבִ֣ים SDBH stars כִּי־ how רָֽמּוּ׃ SDBH lofty they are

Is not Eloah in the height of Shomayim? And hinei the rosh kokhavim, how high they are!

13

וְֽ֭אָמַרְתָּ SDBH Yet you say מַה־ SDBH What יָּ֣דַֽע SDBH know אֵ֑ל SDBH does G-d הַבְעַ֖ד SDBH through עֲרָפֶ֣ל SDBH thick darkness יִשְׁפּֽוֹט׃ SDBH Does He judge

And thou sayest, How doth El know? Can He judge through the thick cloud?

14

עָבִ֣ים SDBH Thick clouds סֵֽתֶר־ SDBH veil ל֭וֹ Him וְלֹ֣א SDBH so He does not יִרְאֶ֑ה SDBH see us וְח֥וּג SDBH the vault שָׁ֝מַ֗יִם SDBH of heaven יִתְהַלָּֽךְ׃ SDBH as He traverses

Thick clouds veil Him, that He seeth not; and He walketh in the vault of Shomayim.

15

הַאֹ֣רַח SDBH path עוֹלָ֣ם SDBH on the ancient תִּשְׁמֹ֑ר SDBH Will you stay אֲשֶׁ֖ר SDBH that דָּרְכ֣וּ SDBH have trod מְתֵי־ SDBH men אָֽוֶן׃ SDBH wicked

Wilt thou note the orach olam which wicked men have trodden?

16

אֲשֶֽׁר־ SDBH They קֻמְּט֥וּ SDBH were snatched away וְלֹא־ SDBH before עֵ֑ת SDBH their time נָ֝הָ֗ר SDBH by a flood יוּצַ֥ק SDBH were swept away יְסוֹדָֽם׃ SDBH and their foundations

Who were cut down before their time, whose yesod was overflown with a flood;

17

הָאֹמְרִ֣ים SDBH They said לָ֭אֵל SDBH to G-d ס֣וּר SDBH Depart מִמֶּ֑נּוּ from us וּמַה־ SDBH What יִּפְעַ֖ל SDBH do שַׁדַּ֣י SDBH can the Almighty לָֽמוֹ׃ to us

Who said unto El, Depart from us; and what can Shaddai do to them?

18

וְה֤וּא SDBH But it was He מִלֵּ֣א SDBH who filled בָתֵּיהֶ֣ם SDBH their houses ט֑וֹב SDBH with good things וַעֲצַ֥ת SDBH from the counsel רְ֝שָׁעִ֗ים SDBH of the wicked רָ֣חֲקָה SDBH so I stay far מֶֽנִּי׃ . . .

Yet He filled their batim (houses) with tov; but the etza (counsel) of the resha'im is far from me.

19

יִרְא֣וּ SDBH see [it] צַדִּיקִ֣ים SDBH The righteous וְיִשְׂמָ֑חוּ SDBH and are glad וְ֝נָקִ֗י SDBH the innocent יִלְעַג־ SDBH mock לָֽמוֹ׃ them

The tzaddikim see it, and are glad, and the naki (innocent) laugh them to scorn.

20

אִם־ SDBH Surely לֹ֣א SDBH . . . נִכְחַ֣ד SDBH are destroyed קִימָ֑נוּ SDBH our foes וְ֝יִתְרָ֗ם SDBH their excess אָ֣כְלָה SDBH has consumed אֵֽשׁ׃ SDBH and fire

Verily our foe is destroyed, and the abundance of them the eish consumeth.

21

הַסְכֶּן־ SDBH Reconcile נָ֣א now עִמּ֑וֹ with Him וּשְׁלם SDBH and be at peace בָּ֝הֶ֗ם thereby תְּֽבוֹאַתְךָ֥ SDBH will come to you טוֹבָֽה׃ SDBH good

Acquaint now thyself with Him, and so hast thou shalom; thereby tovah shall come unto thee.

22

קַח־ SDBH Receive נָ֣א . . . מִפִּ֣יו SDBH from His mouth תּוֹרָ֑ה SDBH instruction וְשִׂ֥ים SDBH and lay up אֲ֝מָרָ֗יו SDBH His words בִּלְבָבֶֽךָ׃ SDBH in your heart

Receive, now, torah from His mouth, and lay up His words in thine lev.

Then shalt thou lay up gold as aphar, and that of Ophir as the tzur of the brooks.

Yea, Shaddai shall be thy gold, and thy precious kesef.

26

כִּי־ Surely אָ֭ז SDBH then עַל־ in שַׁדַּ֣י SDBH the Almighty תִּתְעַנָּ֑ג SDBH you will delight וְתִשָּׂ֖א SDBH and lift up אֶל־ to אֱל֣וֹהַּ SDBH G-d פָּנֶֽיךָ׃ your face

For then shalt thou have thy delight in Shaddai, and shalt lift up thy face unto Eloah.
