Job15:1 Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite, and said,
Job15:2 Should a wise men utter vain knowledge, and fill his belly with the east wind?
Job15:3 Should he reason with unprofitable talk? or with speeches with which he can do no good?
Job15:4 Yes, thou castest off fear, and restrainest prayer before God.
Job15:5 For thy mouth uttereth thy iniquity, and thou choosest the tongue of the crafty.
Job15:6 Thy own mouth condemneth thee, and not I: yes, thy own lips testify against thee.
Job15:7 [Art] thou the first man [that] was born? or wast thou made before the hills?
Job15:8 Hast thou heard the secret of God? and dost thou restrain wisdom to thyself?
Job15:9 What knowest thou that we know not? [what] understandest thou, which [is] not in us?
Job15:10 With us [are] both the gray headed and very aged men, much older than thy father.
Job15:11 [Are] the consolations of God small with thee? is there any secret thing with thee?
Job15:12 Why doth thy heart carry thee away? and what do thy eyes wink at,
Job15:13 That thou turnest thy spirit against God, and lettest [such] words go out of thy mouth?
Job15:14 What [is] man, that he should be clean? and [he who is] born of a woman, that he should be righteous?
Job15:15 Behold, he putteth no trust in his saints; yes, the heavens are not clean in his sight.
Job15:16 How much more abominable and filthy [is] man, who drinketh iniquity like water?
Job15:17 I will show thee, hear me; and that [which] I have seen, I will declare;
Job15:18 Which wise men have told from their fathers, and have not hid [it]:
Job15:19 To whom alone the earth was given, and no stranger passed among them.
Job15:20 The wicked man travaileth with pain all [his] days, and the number of years is hidden to the oppressor.
Job15:21 A dreadful sound [is] in his ears: in prosperity the destroyer shall come upon him.
Job15:22 He believeth not that he shall return out of darkness, and he is waited for by the sword.
Job15:23 He wandereth abroad for bread, [saying], Where [is it]? he knoweth that the day of darkness is ready at his hand.
Job15:24 Trouble and anguish shall make him afraid; they shall prevail against him, as a king ready to the battle.
Job15:25 For he stretcheth out his hand against God, and strengtheneth himself against the Almighty.
Job15:26 He runneth upon him, [even] on [his] neck, upon the thick bosses of his bucklers:
Job15:27 Because he covereth his face with his fatness, and maketh collops of fat on [his] flanks.
Job15:28 And he dwelleth in desolate cities, [and] in houses which no man inhabiteth, which are ready to become heaps.
Job15:29 He shall not be rich, neither shall his substance continue, neither shall he prolong the perfection of it upon the earth.
Job15:30 He shall not depart out of darkness; the flame shall dry up his branches, and by the breath of his mouth shall he go away.
Job15:31 Let not him that is deceived trust in vanity: for vanity shall be his recompense.
Job15:32 It shall be accomplished before his time, and his branch shall not be green.
Job15:33 He shall shake off his unripe grape as the vine, and shall cast off his flower as the olive.
Job15:34 For the congregation of hypocrites [shall be] desolate, and fire shall consume the tabernacles of bribery.
Job15:35 They conceive mischief, and bring forth vanity, and their belly prepareth deceit.
