15Job 15

1Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite, and said,Select Job 15:1

2Should a wise men utter vain knowledge, and fill his belly with the east wind?Select Job 15:2

3Should he reason with unprofitable talk? or with speeches with which he can do no good?Select Job 15:3

4Yes, thou castest off fear, and restrainest prayer before God.Select Job 15:4

5For thy mouth uttereth thy iniquity, and thou choosest the tongue of the crafty.Select Job 15:5

6Thy own mouth condemneth thee, and not I: yes, thy own lips testify against thee.Select Job 15:6

7[Art] thou the first man [that] was born? or wast thou made before the hills?Select Job 15:7

8Hast thou heard the secret of God? and dost thou restrain wisdom to thyself?Select Job 15:8

9What knowest thou that we know not? [what] understandest thou, which [is] not in us?Select Job 15:9

10With us [are] both the gray headed and very aged men, much older than thy father.Select Job 15:10

11[Are] the consolations of God small with thee? is there any secret thing with thee?Select Job 15:11

12Why doth thy heart carry thee away? and what do thy eyes wink at,Select Job 15:12

13That thou turnest thy spirit against God, and lettest [such] words go out of thy mouth?Select Job 15:13

14What [is] man, that he should be clean? and [he who is] born of a woman, that he should be righteous?Select Job 15:14

15Behold, he putteth no trust in his saints; yes, the heavens are not clean in his sight.Select Job 15:15

16How much more abominable and filthy [is] man, who drinketh iniquity like water?Select Job 15:16

17I will show thee, hear me; and that [which] I have seen, I will declare;Select Job 15:17

18Which wise men have told from their fathers, and have not hid [it]:Select Job 15:18

19To whom alone the earth was given, and no stranger passed among them.Select Job 15:19

20The wicked man travaileth with pain all [his] days, and the number of years is hidden to the oppressor.Select Job 15:20

21A dreadful sound [is] in his ears: in prosperity the destroyer shall come upon him.Select Job 15:21

22He believeth not that he shall return out of darkness, and he is waited for by the sword.Select Job 15:22

23He wandereth abroad for bread, [saying], Where [is it]? he knoweth that the day of darkness is ready at his hand.Select Job 15:23

24Trouble and anguish shall make him afraid; they shall prevail against him, as a king ready to the battle.Select Job 15:24

25For he stretcheth out his hand against God, and strengtheneth himself against the Almighty.Select Job 15:25

26He runneth upon him, [even] on [his] neck, upon the thick bosses of his bucklers:Select Job 15:26

27Because he covereth his face with his fatness, and maketh collops of fat on [his] flanks.Select Job 15:27

28And he dwelleth in desolate cities, [and] in houses which no man inhabiteth, which are ready to become heaps.Select Job 15:28

29He shall not be rich, neither shall his substance continue, neither shall he prolong the perfection of it upon the earth.Select Job 15:29

30He shall not depart out of darkness; the flame shall dry up his branches, and by the breath of his mouth shall he go away.Select Job 15:30

31Let not him that is deceived trust in vanity: for vanity shall be his recompense.Select Job 15:31

32It shall be accomplished before his time, and his branch shall not be green.Select Job 15:32

33He shall shake off his unripe grape as the vine, and shall cast off his flower as the olive.Select Job 15:33

34For the congregation of hypocrites [shall be] desolate, and fire shall consume the tabernacles of bribery.Select Job 15:34

35They conceive mischief, and bring forth vanity, and their belly prepareth deceit.Select Job 15:35
