bes@Job:15:1 @ Then Eliphaz the Thaemanite answered and said,

bes@Job:15:2 @ Will a wise man give for answer a mere breath of wisdom? and does he fill up the pain of his belly,

bes@Job:15:3 @ reasoning with improper sayings, and with words wherein is no profit?

bes@Job:15:4 @ Hast not thou moreover cast off fear, and accomplished such words before the Lord?

bes@Job:15:5 @ Thou art guilty by the words of thy mouth, neither hast thou discerned the words of the mighty.

bes@Job:15:6 @ Let thine own mouth, and not me, reprove thee: and thy lips shall testify against thee.

bes@Job:15:7 @ What! art thou the first man that was born? or wert thou established before the hills?

bes@Job:15:8 @ Or hast thou heard the ordinance of the Lord? or has God used thee as his counsellor? and has wisdom come only to thee?

bes@Job:15:9 @ For what knowest thou, that, we know not? or what understandest thou, which we do not also?

bes@Job:15:10 @ Truly among us are both the old and very aged man, more advanced in days than thy father.

bes@Job:15:11 @ Thou hast been scourged for but few of thy sins: thou hast spoken haughtily and extravagantly.

bes@Job:15:12 @ What has thine heart dared? or what have thine eyes aimed at,

bes@Job:15:13 @ that thou hast vented thy rage before the Lord, and delivered such words from thy mouth?

bes@Job:15:14 @ For who, being a mortal, is such that he shall be blameless? or, who that is born of a woman, that he should be just?

bes@Job:15:15 @ Forasmuch as he (note:)Or, believes not charges against, see Job strkjv@4:18(:note) trusts not his saints; and the heaven is not pure before him.

bes@Job:15:16 @ Alas then, abominable and unclean is man, drinking unrighteousness as a draught.

bes@Job:15:17 @ But I will tell thee, hearken to me; I will tell thee now what I have seen;

bes@Job:15:18 @ things wise men say, and their fathers have not hidden.

bes@Job:15:19 @ To them alone the earth was given, and no stranger came upon them.

bes@Job:15:20 @ All the life of the ungodly is spent in care, and the years granted to the oppressor are numbered.

bes@Job:15:21 @ And his terror is in his ears: just when he seems to be at peace, his overthrow will come.

bes@Job:15:22 @ Let him not trust that he shall return from darkness, for he has been already made over to the power of the sword.

bes@Job:15:23 @ And he has been appointed to be food for vultures; and he knows within himself that he is doomed to be a carcass: and a dark day shall carry him away as with a whirlwind.

bes@Job:15:24 @ Distress also and anguish shall come upon him: he shall fall as a captain in the first rank.

bes@Job:15:25 @ For he has lifted his hands (note:)Or, before(:note) against the Lord, and he has Or, proudly raised, etc. hardened his neck against the Almighty Lord.

bes@Job:15:26 @ And he has run against him with insolence, on the thickness of the back of his shield.

bes@Job:15:27 @ For he has covered his face with his fat, and made (note:)Gr. a mouth-piece(:note) layers of fat upon his thighs.

bes@Job:15:28 @ And let him lodge in desolate cities, and enter into houses without inhabitant: and what they have prepared, others shall carry away.

bes@Job:15:29 @ Neither shall he at all grow rich, nor shall his substance remain: he shall not cast a shadow upon the earth.

bes@Job:15:30 @ Neither shall he in any wise escape the darkness: let the wind blast his blossom, and let his flower fall off.

bes@Job:15:31 @ Let him not think that he shall endure; for his end shall be vanity.

bes@Job:15:32 @

bes@Job:15:33 @ And let him be gathered as the unripe grape before the time, and let him fall as the blossom of the olive.

bes@Job:15:34 @ For death is the witness of an ungodly man, and fire shall burn the houses of them that receive gifts.

bes@Job:15:35 @ And he shall conceive sorrows, and his end shall be vanity, and his belly shall bear deceit.
