Job 15




jub@Job:15:1 @ Then Eliphaz, the Temanite, answered, and said,

jub@Job:15:2 @ Should a wise man utter vain knowledge and fill his belly with the east wind?

jub@Job:15:3 @ Should he dispute with useless words and with reasons that are not profitable?

jub@Job:15:4 @ Thou dost also cast off fear and undermine prayer before God.

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

jub@Job:15:6 @ Thine own mouth shall condemn thee, and not I; thine own lips shall testify against thee.

jub@Job:15:7 @ Wast thou born before Adam? Or wast thou formed before the hills?

jub@Job:15:8 @ Hast thou heard the secret of God, that thou dost detain wisdom in thee alone?

jub@Job:15:9 @ What dost thou know that we do not? [What] dost thou understand, which [is] not in us?

jub@Job:15:10 @ Among us [are] also gray hairs; there are also aged men, much elder than thy father.

jub@Job:15:11 @ [Are] the consolations of God in such small esteem with thee? Is there by chance any secret thing concerning thee?

jub@Job:15:12 @ Why does thine heart carry thee away, and why do thine eyes blink,

jub@Job:15:13 @ that thou dost reply unto God with thy spirit and bring forth such words out of thy mouth?

jub@Job:15:14 @ What [is] man that he should be clean and that he that is born of a woman should be justified?

jub@Job:15:15 @ Behold, he puts no trust in his saints, and not even the heavens are clean in his sight.

jub@Job:15:16 @ How much less the man who is abominable and filthy, who drinks iniquity like water?

jub@Job:15:17 @ Listen to me and I will show thee and declare unto thee that [which] I have seen,

jub@Job:15:18 @ that which the wise men have told us of their fathers and have not hid [it],

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

jub@Job:15:20 @ The wicked man travails with pain all [his] days, and the number of years is hidden from the violent.

jub@Job:15:21 @ Fearful sounds are in his ears; in peace the destroyer shall come upon him.

jub@Job:15:22 @ He will not believe that he shall return out of darkness, and he is always watching the sword.

jub@Job:15:23 @ He wanders abroad for bread, [saying], Where [is it]? He knows that the day of darkness is prepared for him.

jub@Job:15:24 @ Tribulation and anguish shall make him afraid; they shall prevail against him, as a king ready to the battle.

jub@Job:15:25 @ Because he extended his hand against God and strengthens himself against the Almighty,

jub@Job:15:26 @ he shall run him through in the neck, upon the thick shoulder pieces of his shields;

jub@Job:15:27 @ for he covered his face with his fatness and made collops of fat on [his] flanks;

jub@Job:15:28 @ and he dwelt in desolate cities [and] in houses which no one inhabited, which were in heaps.

jub@Job:15:29 @ He shall not become rich, nor shall his strength be established, neither shall he extend his beauty upon the earth.

jub@Job:15:30 @ He shall not escape from the darkness; the flame shall dry up his branches, and by the breath of his mouth he shall perish.

jub@Job:15:31 @ He shall not be established; in vanity he shall err; therefore, he shall be changed into vanity.

jub@Job:15:32 @ He shall be cut off before his time, and his branch shall not be green.

jub@Job:15:33 @ He shall shake off his sour grapes as the vine and shall cast off his flower as the olive.

jub@Job:15:34 @ For the congregation of the hypocrites shall be made desolate, and fire shall consume the tents of bribery.

jub@Job:15:35 @ They conceive pain and bring forth iniquity, and their belly meditates deceit.:
