Job 15:1 Then answered6030 Eliphaz464 the Temanite,8489 and said,5592 Should a wise man2450 utter6030 vain7307 knowledge,1847{Heb. knowledge of wind} and fill4390 his belly990 with the east wind?69213 Should he reason3198 with unprofitable5532 talk?1697 or with speeches4405 wherewith he can do no good?32764 Yea, thou castest off6565{Heb. thou makest void} fear,3374 and restrainest1639 prayer7881{Or, speech} before6440 God.4105 For thy mouth6310 uttereth502{Heb. teacheth} thine iniquity,5771 and thou choosest977 the tongue3956 of the crafty.61756 Thine own mouth6310 condemneth7561 thee, and not I: yea, thine own lips8193 testify6030 against thee.
7Art thou the first72237223 man120that was born?3205 or wast thou made2342 before6440 the hills?13898 Hast thou heard8085 the secret5475 of God?433 and dost thou restrain1639 wisdom2451 to thyself?
9 What knowest3045 thou, that we know3045 not? what understandest995 thou, which is not in us?
10 With us are both the grayheaded7867 and very aged3453 men, much3524 elder3117 than thy father.111Are the consolations8575 of God410 small4592 with thee? is there any secret328 thing1697 with thee?
12 Why doth thine heart3820 carry thee away?3947 and what do thy eyes5869 wink at,733513 That thou turnest7725 thy spirit7307 against God,410 and lettest such words4405 go out3318 of thy mouth?631014 What is man,582 that he should be clean?2135 and hewhichis born3205 of a woman,802 that he should be righteous?666315 Behold, he putteth no trust539 in his saints;6918 yea, the heavens8064 are not clean2141 in his sight.586916 How much more abominable8581 and filthy444is man,376 which drinketh8354 iniquity57665766 like water?4325
Job 15:17 I will shew2331 thee, hear8085 me; and that which I have seen2372 I will declare;560818 Which wise2450 men have told5046 from their fathers,1 and have not hid3582it:19 Unto whom alone the earth776 was given,5414 and no stranger2114 passed5674 among8432 them.
20 The wicked7563 man travaileth2342 with pain all his days,3117 and the number4557 of years8141 is hidden6845 to the oppressor.618421 A dreadful6343 sound6963{Heb. A sound of fears}is in his ears:241 in prosperity7965 the destroyer7703 shall come935 upon him.
22 He believeth539 not that he shall return7725 out of darkness,2822 and he is waited6822 for of the sword.271923 He wandereth abroad5074 for bread,3899saying, Where isit? he knoweth3045 that the day3117 of darkness2822 is ready3559 at his hand.302724 Trouble6862 and anguish4691 shall make him afraid;1204 they shall prevail8630 against him, as a king4428 ready6264 to the battle.359325 For he stretcheth out5186 his hand3027 against God,410 and strengtheneth1396 himself against the Almighty.770626 He runneth7323 upon him, even on his neck,6677 upon the thick5672 bosses1354 of his bucklers:404327 Because he covereth3680 his face6440 with his fatness,2459 and maketh6213 collops of fat6371 on his flanks.368928 And he dwelleth7931 in desolate3582 cities,5892and in houses1004 which no man inhabiteth,3427 which are ready6257 to become heaps.153029 He shall not be rich,6238 neither shall his substance2428 continue,6965 neither shall he prolong5186 the perfection4512 thereof upon the earth.77630 He shall not depart5493 out of darkness;2822 the flame7957 shall dry up3001 his branches,3127 and by the breath7307 of his mouth6310 shall he go away.549331 Let not him that is deceived8582 trust539 in vanity:7723 for vanity7723 shall be his recompence.854532 It shall be accomplished4390{Or, cut off} before3808 his time,3117 and his branch3712 shall not be green.748833 He shall shake off2554 his unripe grape1154 as the vine,1612 and shall cast off7993 his flower5328 as the olive.213234 For the congregation5712 of hypocrites2611shallbe desolate,1565 and fire784 shall consume398 the tabernacles168 of bribery.781035 They conceive2029 mischief,5999 and bring forth3205 vanity,205{Or, iniquity} and their belly990 prepareth3559 deceit.4820
