18_JOB_15_01 Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite, And said,
18_JOB_15_02 should A wise man utter vain knowledge, And fill his belly with the east wind?
18_JOB_15_03 should he reason with unprofitable talk? or with speeches wherewith he can do no good?
18_JOB_15_04 yea, thou castest off Fear, And restrainest prayer before God.
18_JOB_15_05 for thy mouth uttereth thine iniquity, And thou choosest the tongue of the crafty.
18_JOB_15_06 thine own mouth condemneth thee, And not I: yea, thine own lips testify against thee.
18_JOB_15_07 [ art] thou the first man [ that] was born? or wast thou made before the hills?
18_JOB_15_08 hast thou heard the secret of God? And dost thou restrain wisdom to thyself?
18_JOB_15_09 what knowest thou, that we know not? [ what] understandest thou, which [ Is] not in us?
18_JOB_15_10 with us [ are] Both the grayheaded And very aged men, much elder than thy Father.
18_JOB_15_11 [ are] the consolations of God small with thee? Is there any secret thing with thee?
18_JOB_15_12 why Doth thine heart carry thee away? And what do thy eyes wink at,
18_JOB_15_13 that thou turnest thy spirit against God, And lettest [ such] words go out of thy mouth?
18_JOB_15_14 what [ Is] man, that he should be clean? And [ he which Is] born of A woman, that he should be righteous?
18_JOB_15_15 behold, he putteth no trust in his saints; yea, the heavens are not clean in his sight.
18_JOB_15_16 how much more abominable And filthy [ Is] man, which drinketh iniquity like water?
18_JOB_15_17 I will show thee, hear me; And that [ which] I have seen I will declare;
18_JOB_15_18 which wise men have told from their fathers, And have not hid [ it]:
18_JOB_15_19 unto whom alone the earth was given, And no stranger passed among them.
18_JOB_15_20 the wicked man travaileth with pain all [ his] days, And the number of years Is hidden to the oppressor.
18_JOB_15_21 A dreadful sound [ Is] in his ears: in prosperity the destroyer shall come upon him.
18_JOB_15_22 he believeth not that he shall Return out of darkness, And he Is waited for of the sword.
18_JOB_15_23 he wandereth abroad for bread, [ saying], where [ Is it]? he knoweth that the day of darkness Is ready at his hand.
18_JOB_15_24 Trouble And anguish shall make him afraid; they shall prevail against him, as A king ready to the battle.
18_JOB_15_25 for he stretcheth out his hand against God, And strengtheneth himself against the Almighty.
18_JOB_15_26 he runneth upon him, [ even] on [ his] neck, upon the thick bosses of his bucklers:
18_JOB_15_27 because he covereth his face with his fatness, And maketh collops of fat on [ his] flanks.
18_JOB_15_28 And he dwelleth in desolate cities, [ And] in houses which no man inhabiteth, which are ready to become heaps.
18_JOB_15_29 he shall not be rich, neither shall his substance continue, neither shall he prolong the perfection thereof upon the earth.
18_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.
18_JOB_15_31 let not him that Is deceived trust in vanity: for vanity shall be his recompense.
18_JOB_15_32 it shall be accomplished before his time, And his branch shall not be green.
18_JOB_15_33 he shall shake off his unripe grape as the vine, And shall cast off his flower as the olive.
18_JOB_15_34 for the congregation of hypocrites [ shall be] desolate, And fire shall consume the tabernacles of bribery.
18_JOB_15_35 they conceive mischief, And bring forth vanity, And their belly prepareth Deceit.
