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