chapter_Job_15
Job 15:1: And Eliphaz the Temanite answereth and saith: &#8212; Job 15:2: Doth a wise man answer with vain knowledge? And fill with an east wind his belly? Job 15:3: To reason with a word not useful? And speeches &#8212; no profit in them? Job 15:4: Yea, thou dost make reverence void, And dost diminish meditation before God. Job 15:5: For thy mouth teacheth thine iniquity, And thou chooseth the tongue of the subtile. Job 15:6: Thy mouth declareth thee wicked, and not I, And thy lips testify against thee. Job 15:7: The first man art thou born? And before the heights wast thou formed? Job 15:8: Of the secret counsel of God dost thou hear? And withdrawest thou unto thee wisdom? Job 15:9: What hast thou known, and we know not? Understandest thou &#8212; and it is not with us? Job 15:10: Both the gray-headed And the very aged are among us &#8212; Greater than thy father in days. Job 15:11: Too few for thee are the comforts of God? And a gentle word is with thee, Job 15:12: What &#8212; doth thine heart take thee away? And what &#8212; are thine eyes high? Job 15:13: For thou turnest against God thy spirit? And hast brought out words from thy mouth: Job 15:14: What is man that he is pure, And that he is righteous, one born of woman? Job 15:15: Lo, in His holy ones He putteth no credence, And the heavens have not been pure in His eyes. Job 15:16: Also &#8212; surely abominable and filthy Is man drinking as water perverseness. Job 15:17: I shew thee &#8212; hearken to me &#8212; And this I have seen and declare: Job 15:18: Which the wise declare &#8212; And have not hid &#8212; from their fathers. Job 15:19: To them alone was the land given, And a stranger passed not over into their midst: Job 15:20: 'All days of the wicked he is paining himself, And few years have been laid up for the terrible one. Job 15:21: A fearful voice is in his ears, In peace doth a destroyer come to him. Job 15:22: He believeth not to return from darkness, And watched is he for the sword. Job 15:23: He is wandering for bread &#8212; 'Where is it?' He hath known that ready at his hand Is a day of darkness. Job 15:24: Terrify him do adversity and distress, They prevail over him As a king ready for a boaster. Job 15:25: For he stretched out against God his hand, And against the Mighty he maketh himself mighty. Job 15:26: He runneth unto Him with a neck, With thick bosses of his shields. Job 15:27: For he hath covered his face with his fat, And maketh vigour over his confidence. Job 15:28: And he inhabiteth cities cut off, houses not dwelt in, That have been ready to become heaps. Job 15:29: He is not rich, nor doth his wealth rise, Nor doth he stretch out on earth their continuance. Job 15:30: He turneth not aside from darkness, His tender branch doth a flame dry up, And he turneth aside at the breath of His mouth! Job 15:31: Let him not put credence in vanity, He hath been deceived, For vanity is his recompence. Job 15:32: Not in his day is it completed, And his bending branch is not green. Job 15:33: He shaketh off as a vine his unripe fruit, And casteth off as an olive his blossom. Job 15:34: For the company of the profane is gloomy, And fire hath consumed tents of bribery. Job 15:35: To conceive misery, and to bear iniquity, Even their heart doth prepare deceit.
