jps@Job:15:1 @ Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite, and said:
jps@Job:15:2 @ Should a wise man make answer with windy knowledge, and fill his belly with the east wind?
jps@Job:15:3 @ Should he reason with unprofitable talk, or with speeches wherewith he can do no good?
jps@Job:15:4 @ Yea, thou doest away with fear, and impairest devotion before God.
jps@Job:15:5 @ For thine iniquity teacheth thy mouth, and thou choosest the tongue of the crafty.
jps@Job:15:6 @ Thine own mouth condemneth thee, and not I; yea, thine own lips testify against thee.
jps@Job:15:7 @ Art thou the first man that was born? Or wast thou brought forth before the hills?
jps@Job:15:8 @ Dost thou hearken in the council of God? And dost thou restrain wisdom to thyself?
jps@Job:15:9 @ What knowest thou, that we know not? What understandest thou, which is not in us?
jps@Job:15:10 @ With us are both the gray-headed and the very aged men, much older than thy father.
jps@Job:15:11 @ Are the consolations of God too small for thee, and the word that dealeth gently with thee?
jps@Job:15:12 @ Why doth thy heart carry thee away? And why do thine eyes wink?
jps@Job:15:13 @ That thou turnest thy spirit against God, and lettest such words go out of thy mouth.
jps@Job:15:14 @ What is man, that he should be clean? And he that is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?
jps@Job:15:15 @ Behold, He putteth no trust in His holy ones; yea, the heavens are not clean in His sight.
jps@Job:15:16 @ How much less one that is abominable and impure, man who drinketh iniquity like water!
jps@Job:15:17 @ I will tell thee, hear thou me; and that which I have seen I will declare--
jps@Job:15:18 @ Which wise men have told from their fathers, and have not hid it;
jps@Job:15:19 @ Unto whom alone the land was given, and no stranger passed among them.
jps@Job:15:20 @ The wicked man travaileth with pain all his days, even the number of years that are laid up for the oppressor.
jps@Job:15:21 @ A sound of terrors is in his ears: in prosperity the destroyer shall come upon him.
jps@Job:15:22 @ He believeth not that he shall return out of darkness, and he is waited for of the sword.
jps@Job:15:23 @ He wandereth abroad for bread: 'Where is it?' He knoweth that the day of darkness is ready at his hand.
jps@Job:15:24 @ Distress and anguish overwhelm him; they prevail against him, as a king ready to the battle.
jps@Job:15:25 @ Because he hath stretched out his hand against God, and behaveth himself proudly against the Almighty;
jps@Job:15:26 @ He runneth upon him with a stiff neck, with the thick bosses of his bucklers.
jps@Job:15:27 @ Because he hath covered his face with his fatness, and made collops of fat on his loins;
jps@Job:15:28 @ And he hath dwelt in desolate cities, in houses which no man would inhabit, which were ready to become heaps.
jps@Job:15:29 @ He shall not be rich, neither shall his substance continue, neither shall their produce bend to the earth.
jps@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.
jps@Job:15:31 @ Let him not trust in vanity, deceiving himself; for vanity shall be his recompense.
jps@Job:15:32 @ It shall be accomplished before his time, and his branch shall not be leafy.
jps@Job:15:33 @ He shall shake off his unripe grape as the vine, and shall cast off his flower as the olive.
jps@Job:15:34 @ For the company of the godless shall be desolate, and fire shall consume the tents of bribery.
jps@Job:15:35 @ They conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity, and their belly prepareth deceit.
