Job 15

1Then answered^H6030 Eliphaz^H464 the Temanite^H8489, and said^H559, 2Should a wise man^H2450 make answer^H6030 with vain^H7307 knowledge^H1847, And fill^H4390 himself^H990 with the east wind^H6921? 3Should he reason^H3198 with unprofitable^H5532 talk^H1697, Or with speeches^H4405 wherewith he can do no good^H3276? 4Yea, thou doest away^H6565 with fear^H3374, And hinderest^H1639 devotion^H7881 before^H6440 God^H410. 5For thine iniquity^H5771 teacheth^H502 thy mouth^H6310, And thou choosest^H977 the tongue^H3956 of the crafty^H6175. 6Thine own mouth^H6310 condemneth^H7561 thee, and not I; Yea, thine own lips^H8193 testify^H6030 against thee. 7Art thou the first^H7223 man^H120 that was born^H3205? Or wast thou brought^H2342 forth before^H6440 the hills^H1389? 8Hast thou heard^H8085 the secret^H5475 counsel of God^H433? And dost thou limit^H1639 wisdom^H2451 to thyself? 9What knowest^H3045 thou, that we know^H3045 not? What understandest^H995 thou, which is not in us? 10With us are both the gray-headed^H7867 and the very aged^H3453 men, Much^H3524 elder^H3117 than thy father^H1. 11Are the consolations^H8575 of God^H410 too small^H4592 for thee, Even the word^H1697 that is gentle^H328 toward thee? 12Why doth thy heart^H3820 carry thee away^H3947? And why do thine eyes^H5869 flash^H7335, 13That against God^H410 thou turnest^H7725 thy spirit^H7307, And lettest words^H4405 go out^H3318 of thy mouth^H6310? 14What is man^H582, that he should be clean^H2135? And he that is born^H3205 of a woman^H802, that he should be righteous^H6663? 15Behold, he putteth no trust^H539 in his holy^H6918 ones; Yea, the heavens^H8064 are not clean^H2141 in his sight^H5869: 16How much less one^H376 that is abominable^H8581 and corrupt, A man^H376 that drinketh^H8354 iniquity^H5766 like water^H4325! 17I will show^H2331 thee, hear^H8085 thou me; And that which I have seen^H2372 I will declare^H5608: 18(Which wise^H2450 men have told^H5046 From their fathers^H1, and have not hid^H3582 it; 19Unto whom alone the land^H776 was given^H5414, And no stranger^H2114 passed^H5674 among^H8432 them): 20The wicked^H7563 man travaileth^H2342 with pain all his days^H3117, Even the number^H4557 of years^H8141 that are laid^H6845 up for the oppressor^H6184. 21A sound^H6963 of terrors^H6343 is in his ears^H241; In prosperity^H7965 the destroyer^H7703 shall come^H935 upon him. 22He believeth^H539 not that he shall return^H7725 out of darkness^H2822, And he is waited^H6822 for of the sword^H2719. 23He wandereth abroad^H5074 for bread^H3899, saying, Where is it? He knoweth^H3045 that the day^H3117 of darkness^H2822 is ready^H3559 at his hand^H3027. 24Distress^H6862 and anguish^H4691 make him afraid^H1204; They prevail^H8630 against him, as a king^H4428 ready^H6264 to the battle^H3593. 25Because he hath stretched out^H5186 his hand^H3027 against God^H410, And behaveth himself proudly^H1396 against the Almighty^H7706; 26He runneth^H7323 upon him with a stiff neck^H6677, With the thick^H5672 bosses^H1354 of his bucklers^H4043; 27Because he hath covered^H3680 his face^H6440 with his fatness^H2459, And gathered^H6213 fat^H6371 upon his loins^H3689; 28And he hath dwelt^H7931 in desolate^H3582 cities^H5892, In houses^H1004 which no man inhabited^H3427, Which were ready^H6257 to become heaps^H1530; 29He shall not be rich^H6238, neither shall his substance^H2428 continue^H6965, Neither shall their possessions^H5186 be extended^H4512 on the earth^H776. 30He shall not depart^H5493 out of darkness^H2822; The flame^H7957 shall dry up^H3001 his branches^H3127, And by the breath^H7307 of God's mouth^H6310 shall he go away^H5493. 31Let him not trust^H539 in vanity^H7723, deceiving^H8582 himself; For vanity^H7723 shall be his recompense^H8545. 32It shall be accomplished^H4390 before^H3808 his time^H3117, And his branch^H3712 shall not be green^H7488. 33He shall shake off^H2554 his unripe grape^H1154 as the vine^H1612, And shall cast off^H7993 his flower^H5328 as the olive-tree^H2132. 34For the company^H5712 of the godless^H2611 shall be barren^H1565, And fire^H784 shall consume^H398 the tents^H168 of bribery^H7810. 35They conceive^H2029 mischief^H5999, and bring forth^H3205 iniquity^H205, And their heart^H990 prepareth^H3559 deceit^H4820.
