answered

@ Should a wise
man
utter
vain
knowledge
, and
fill
his
belly
with the east
wind
?
strkjv@Job:15:3
@ Should he
reason
with
unprofitable
talk
? or with
speeches
wherewith he can do no
good
?
strkjv@Job:15:4
@ Yea, thou castest
off
fear
, and
restrainest
prayer
before
God
.
strkjv@Job:15:5
@ For thy
mouth
uttereth
thine
iniquity
, and thou
choosest
the
tongue
of the
crafty
.
strkjv@Job:15:6
@ Thine own
mouth
condemneth
thee, and not I: yea, thine own
lips
testify
against thee.

@ Art thou the
first
man
that was
born
? or wast thou
made
before
the
hills
?
strkjv@Job:15:8

heard
the
secret
of
God
? and dost thou
restrain
wisdom
to thyself?

knowest
thou, that we
know
not? what
understandest
thou, which is not in us?

aged
men,
much
elder

consolations
of
God
small
with thee? is there any
secret
thing
with thee?
strkjv@Job:15:12
@ Why doth thine
heart
carry thee
away
? and what do thy
eyes
wink
at
,
strkjv@Job:15:13
@ That thou
turnest
thy
spirit
against
God

words
go
out

man

righteous
?
strkjv@Job:15:15

saints

declare

come
upon him.

out

runneth
upon him, even on his

covereth
his
face
with his
fatness

maketh
collops of
fat
on his
flanks
.
strkjv@Job:15:28
@ And he
dwelleth
in
desolate
cities

houses
which no man
inhabiteth

heaps

the
perfection
thereof upon the
earth

depart
out of

up

mouth
shall he go
away

deceived
trust
in
vanity

vanity
shall be his
recompence

olive
