dby@Job:15:1 @ And Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,

dby@Job:15:2 @ Should a wise man answer with windy knowledge, and fill his belly with the east wind,

dby@Job:15:3 @ Reasoning with unprofitable talk, and with speeches which do no good?

dby@Job:15:4 @ Yea, thou makest piety of none effect, and restrainest meditation before �God.

dby@Job:15:5 @ For thy mouth uttereth thine iniquity, and thou hast chosen the tongue of the crafty.

dby@Job:15:6 @ Thine own mouth condemneth thee, and not I; and thy lips testify against thee.

dby@Job:15:7 @ Art thou the first man that was born? and wast thou brought forth before the hills?

dby@Job:15:8 @ Hast thou listened in the secret council of +God? And hast thou absorbed wisdom for thyself?

dby@Job:15:9 @ What knowest thou that we know not? [what] understandest thou which is not in us?

dby@Job:15:10 @ Both the greyheaded and the aged are with us, older than thy father.

dby@Job:15:11 @ Are the consolations of �God too small for thee? and the word gently spoken to thee?

dby@Job:15:12 @ Why doth thy heart carry thee away? and why do thine eyes wink?

dby@Job:15:13 @ That thou turnest thy spirit against �God, and lettest words go out of thy mouth?

dby@Job:15:14 @ What is man, that he should be pure? and he that is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?

dby@Job:15:15 @ Behold, he putteth no trust in his holy ones, and the heavens are not pure in his sight:

dby@Job:15:16 @ How much less the abominable and corrupt, -- man, that drinketh unrighteousness like water!

dby@Job:15:17 @ I will shew thee, listen to me; and what I have seen I will declare;

dby@Job:15:18 @ Which wise men have told from their fathers, and have not hidden;

dby@Job:15:19 @ Unto whom alone the earth was given, and no stranger passed among them.

dby@Job:15:20 @ All his days the wicked man is tormented, and numbered years are allotted to the violent.

dby@Job:15:21 @ The sound of terrors is in his ears: in prosperity the destroyer cometh upon him.

dby@Job:15:22 @ He believeth not that he shall return out of darkness, and he is singled out for the sword.

dby@Job:15:23 @ He wandereth abroad for bread, -- where may it be? He knoweth that the day of darkness is ready at his hand.

dby@Job:15:24 @ Distress and anguish make him afraid; they prevail against him, as a king ready for the battle.

dby@Job:15:25 @ For he hath stretched out his hand against �God, and strengthened himself against the Almighty:

dby@Job:15:26 @ He runneth against him, with [outstretched] neck, with the thick bosses of his bucklers;

dby@Job:15:27 @ For he hath covered his face with his fatness, and gathered fat upon [his] flanks.

dby@Job:15:28 @ And he dwelleth in desolate cities, in houses that no man inhabiteth, which are destined to become heaps.

dby@Job:15:29 @ He shall not become rich, neither shall his substance continue, and their possessions shall not extend upon the earth.

dby@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.

dby@Job:15:31 @ Let him not trust in vanity: he is deceived, for vanity shall be his recompense;

dby@Job:15:32 @ It shall be complete before his day, and his branch shall not be green.

dby@Job:15:33 @ He shall shake off his unripe grapes as a vine, and shall cast his flower as an olive.

dby@Job:15:34 @ For the family of the ungodly shall be barren, and fire shall consume the tents of bribery.

dby@Job:15:35 @ They conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity, and their belly prepareth deceit.
