1 Ѿвѣща́въ же є҆лїфа́зъ ѳемані́тинъ, речѐ:
1 Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered,
2 є҆да̀ премꙋ́дрый да́стъ ѿвѣ́тъ разꙋ́менъ на вѣ́тръ, и҆ напо́лни болѣ́знїю чре́во,
2 “Should a wise man answer with vain knowledge, and fill himself with the east wind?
3 ѡ҆блича́ѧ глагѡ́лы, и҆́миже не подоба́етъ, и҆ словесы̀, и҆́хже ника́ѧ по́льза;
3 Should he reason with unprofitable talk, or with speeches with which he can do no good?
4 Не и҆ ты́ ли ѿри́нꙋлъ є҆сѝ стра́хъ; сконча́лъ же є҆сѝ глаго́лы таковы̑ пред̾ гдⷭ҇емъ;
4 Yes, you do away with fear, and hinder devotion before God.
5 Пови́ненъ є҆сѝ глаго́лѡмъ ᲂу҆́стъ твои́хъ, нижѐ разсꙋди́лъ є҆сѝ глаго́лы си́льныхъ.
5 For your iniquity teaches your mouth, and you choose the language of the crafty.
6 Да ѡ҆блича́тъ тѧ̀ ᲂу҆ста̀ твоѧ̑, а҆ не а҆́зъ, и҆ ᲂу҆стнѣ̀ твоѝ на тѧ̀ возсвидѣ́тельствꙋютъ.
6 Your own mouth condemns you, and not I. Yes, your own lips testify against you.
7 Что́ бо; є҆да̀ пе́рвый ѿ человѣ̑къ рожде́нъ є҆сѝ; и҆лѝ пре́жде холмѡ́въ сгꙋсти́лсѧ є҆сѝ;
7 “Are you the first man who was born? Or were you brought out before the hills?
8 и҆лѝ строе́нїе гдⷭ҇не слы́шалъ є҆сѝ; и҆лѝ въ совѣ́тника тѧ̀ ᲂу҆потребѝ бг҃ъ; и҆ на тѧ̀ (є҆ди́наго) ли прїи́де премꙋ́дрость;
8 Have you heard the secret counsel of God? Do you limit wisdom to yourself?
9 что́ бо вѣ́си, є҆гѡ́же не вѣ́мы; и҆лѝ что̀ разꙋмѣ́еши ты̀, є҆гѡ́же и҆ мы̀ (не разꙋмѣ́емъ);
9 What do you know that we don’t know? What do you understand which is not in us?
10 И҆ ста́ръ и҆ дре́венъ є҆́сть въ на́съ, ста́ршїй ѻ҆тца̀ твоегѡ̀ де́ньми.
10 With us are both the gray-headed and the very aged men, much older than your father.
11 Ма́лѡ, ѡ҆ ни́хже согрѣши́лъ є҆сѝ, ᲂу҆ѧ́звленъ є҆сѝ, вельмѝ вы́ше мѣ́ры возглаго́лалъ є҆сѝ.
11 Are the consolations of God too small for you, even the word that is gentle toward you?
12 Что̀ де́рзостно бы́сть се́рдце твоѐ; и҆лѝ что̀ вознесо́стѣсѧ ѻ҆́чи твоѝ;
12 Why does your heart carry you away? Why do your eyes flash,
13 Ꙗ҆́кѡ ꙗ҆́рость и҆зры́гнꙋлъ є҆сѝ пред̾ гдⷭ҇емъ, и҆зне́слъ же є҆сѝ и҆зо ᲂу҆́стъ такѡва̀ словеса̀;
13 that you turn your spirit against God, and let such words go out of your mouth?
14 Кто́ бо сы́й человѣ́къ ꙗ҆́кѡ бꙋ́детъ непоро́ченъ; и҆лѝ а҆́ки бꙋ́дꙋщїй пра́ведникъ рожде́нъ ѿ жены̀;
14 What is man, that he should be clean? What is he who is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?
15 А҆́ще во ст҃ы́хъ не вѣ́ритъ, нб҃о же нечи́сто пред̾ ни́мъ,
15 Behold, he puts no trust in his holy ones. Yes, the heavens are not clean in his sight;
16 кольмѝ па́че ме́рзкїй и҆ нечи́стый мꙋ́жъ, пїѧ́й непра̑вды, ꙗ҆́коже питїѐ.
16 how much less one who is abominable and corrupt, a man who drinks iniquity like water!
17 Возвѣщꙋ́ же тѝ, послꙋ́шай менѐ: ꙗ҆̀же нн҃ѣ ви́дѣхъ, возвѣщꙋ̀ тѝ,
17 “I will show you, listen to me; that which I have seen I will declare
18 ꙗ҆̀же премꙋ́дрїи рекꙋ́тъ, и҆ не ᲂу҆таи́ша ѻ҆тцы̀ и҆́хъ,
18 (which wise men have told by their fathers, and have not hidden it;
19 и҆̀мже є҆ди̑нымъ дана̀ бы́сть землѧ̀, и҆ не на́йде и҆ноплеме́нникъ на нѧ̀.
19 to whom alone the land was given, and no stranger passed among them):
20 Всѐ житїѐ нечести́вагѡ въ попече́нїи, лѣ̑та же и҆зочтє́на дана̑ си́льномꙋ,
20 the wicked man writhes in pain all his days, even the number of years that are laid up for the oppressor.
21 стра́хъ же є҆гѡ̀ во ᲂу҆шесѣ́хъ є҆гѡ̀: є҆гда̀ мни́тъ ᲂу҆жѐ въ ми́рѣ бы́ти, тогда̀ прїи́детъ на́нь низвраще́нїе:
21 A sound of terrors is in his ears. In prosperity the destroyer will come on him.
22 да не вѣ́рꙋетъ ѿврати́тисѧ ѿ тьмы̀, ѡ҆сꙋжде́нъ бо ᲂу҆жѐ въ рꙋ́ки желѣ́за,
22 He doesn’t believe that he will return out of darkness. He is waited for by the sword.
23 ᲂу҆чине́нъ же є҆́сть въ бра́шно неѧ́сытємъ: вѣ́сть же въ себѣ̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ жде́тъ паде́нїѧ, де́нь же те́менъ преврати́тъ є҆го̀,
23 He wanders abroad for bread, saying, ‘Where is it?’ He knows that the day of darkness is ready at his hand.
24 бѣда́ же и҆ ско́рбь ѡ҆б̾и́метъ є҆го̀, ꙗ҆́коже военача́льникъ напредѝ стоѧ́й па́даетъ,
24 Distress and anguish make him afraid. They prevail against him, as a king ready to the battle.
25 ꙗ҆́кѡ вознесѐ рꙋ́цѣ на гдⷭ҇а, пред̾ гдⷭ҇емъ же вседержи́телемъ ѡ҆жесточѝ вы́ю,
25 Because he has stretched out his hand against God, and behaves himself proudly against the Almighty,
26 тече́ же проти́вꙋ є҆мꙋ̀ ᲂу҆кори́зною въ то́лщи хребта̀ щита̀ своегѡ̀:
26 he runs at him with a stiff neck, with the thick shields of his bucklers,
27 ꙗ҆́кѡ покры̀ лицѐ своѐ тꙋ́комъ свои́мъ и҆ сотворѝ ѡ҆ме́тъ на сте́гнахъ: (꙳хвала́ же є҆гѡ̀ ᲂу҆кори́зна).
27 because he has covered his face with his fatness, and gathered fat on his thighs.
28 Да всели́тсѧ же во градѣ́хъ пꙋсты́хъ, вни́детъ же въ до́мы ненаселє́нныѧ: а҆ ꙗ҆̀же ѻ҆нѝ ᲂу҆гото́ваша, и҆ні́и ѿнесꙋ́тъ.
28 He has lived in desolate cities, in houses which no one inhabited, which were ready to become heaps.
29 Нижѐ ѡ҆богати́тсѧ, нижѐ ѡ҆ста́нетъ и҆мѣ́нїе є҆гѡ̀, не и҆́мать положи́ти на зе́млю сѣ́ни,
29 He will not be rich, neither will his substance continue, neither will their possessions be extended on the earth.
30 нижѐ и҆збѣжи́тъ тьмы̀: прозѧбе́нїе є҆гѡ̀ да ᲂу҆сꙋши́тъ вѣ́тръ, и҆ да ѿпаде́тъ цвѣ́тъ є҆гѡ̀:
30 He will not depart out of darkness. The flame will dry up his branches. He will go away by the breath of God’s mouth.
31 да не вѣ́ритъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ стерпи́тъ, тщє́тнаѧ бо сбꙋ́дꙋтсѧ є҆мꙋ̀.
31 Let him not trust in emptiness, deceiving himself, for emptiness will be his reward.
32 Посѣче́нїе є҆гѡ̀ пре́жде часа̀ растлѣ́етъ, и҆ лѣ́торасль є҆гѡ̀ не ѡ҆бли́ственѣетъ:
32 It will be accomplished before his time. His branch will not be green.
33 да ѡ҆б̾има́нъ бꙋ́детъ ꙗ҆́коже недозрѣ́лаѧ ꙗ҆́года пре́жде часа̀, да ѿпаде́тъ же ꙗ҆́кѡ цвѣ́тъ ма́сличїѧ.
33 He will shake off his unripe grape as the vine, and will cast off his flower as the olive tree.
34 Послꙋ́шество бо нечести́вагѡ сме́рть, ѻ҆́гнь же пожже́тъ до́мы мздои́мцєвъ:
34 For the company of the godless will be barren, and fire will consume the tents of bribery.
35 во чре́вѣ же прїи́метъ бѡлѣ́зни, сбꙋ́детсѧ же є҆мꙋ̀ тщета̀, чре́во же є҆гѡ̀ понесе́тъ ле́сть.
35 They conceive mischief and produce iniquity. Their heart prepares deceit.”

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

  1. Quotes verse 15:26 Augustine of Hippo, Confessions (Book VII, Chapters VII–IX)

    But when I lifted myself proudly against Thee, and "ran against the Lord, even on His neck, with the thick bosses" of my buckler, even these inferior things were placed above me, and pressed upon me, and nowhere was there alleviation or breathing space.

  2. Quotes verse 15:13 Augustine of Hippo, The City of God (Book XVI, Chapters 3–4)

    … the Lord;" for enantion means both "before" and "against." In the Psalm this word is rendered, "Let us weep before the Lord our Maker." The same word occurs in the book of Job, where it is written, "Thou hast broken into fury against the Lord." And so this giant is to be recognized as a "hunter against the Lord." And …

  3. Quotes verse 15:26 Augustine of Hippo, Expositions on the Psalms (Psalm XLVI)

    "He runneth against God, upon the stiff neck of his shield." What is, "upon the stiff neck of his shield"?
