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

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

ukjv@Job:15:3 @ Should he reason with useless talk? or with speeches wherewith he can do no good?

ukjv@Job:15:4 @ Yea, you cast off fear, and restrain prayer before God.

ukjv@Job:15:5 @ For your mouth utters yours iniquity, and you choose the tongue of the crafty.

ukjv@Job:15:6 @ Yours own mouth condemns you, and not I: yea, yours own lips testify against you.

ukjv@Job:15:7 @ Are you the first man that was born? or were you made before the hills?

ukjv@Job:15:8 @ Have you heard the secret of God? and do you restrain wisdom to yourself?

ukjv@Job:15:9 @ What know you, that we know not? what understand you, which is not in us?

ukjv@Job:15:10 @ With us are both the grayheaded and very aged men, much elder than your father.

ukjv@Job:15:11 @ Are the consolations of God small with you? is there any secret thing with you?

ukjv@Job:15:12 @ Why does yours heart carry you away? and what do your eyes overlook,

ukjv@Job:15:13 @ That you turn your spirit against God, and let such words go out of your mouth?

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

ukjv@Job:15:15 @ Behold, he puts no trust in his saints; yea, the heavens are not clean in his sight.

ukjv@Job:15:16 @ How much more abominable and filthy is man, which drinks iniquity like water?

ukjv@Job:15:17 @ I will show you, hear me; and that which I have seen I will declare;

ukjv@Job:15:18 @ Which wise men have told from their fathers, and have not hid it:

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

ukjv@Job:15:20 @ The wicked man labors with pain all his days, and the number of years is hidden to the oppressor.

ukjv@Job:15:21 @ A dreadful sound is in his ears: in prosperity the destroyer shall come upon him.

ukjv@Job:15:22 @ He believes not that he shall return out of darkness, and he is waited for of the sword.

ukjv@Job:15:23 @ He wanders abroad for bread, saying, Where is it? he knows that the day of darkness is ready at his hand.

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

ukjv@Job:15:25 @ For he stretches out his hand against God, and strengthens himself against the Almighty.

ukjv@Job:15:26 @ He runs upon him, even on his neck, upon the thick bosses of his bucklers:

ukjv@Job:15:27 @ Because he covers his face with his fatness, and makes fatness on his flanks.

ukjv@Job:15:28 @ And he dwells in desolate cities, and in houses which no man inhabits, which are ready to become heaps.

ukjv@Job:15:29 @ He shall not be rich, neither shall his substance continue, neither shall he prolong the perfection thereof upon the earth.

ukjv@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.

ukjv@Job:15:31 @ Let not him that is deceived trust in vanity: for vanity shall be his recompence.

ukjv@Job:15:32 @ It shall be accomplished before his time, and his branch shall not be green.

ukjv@Job:15:33 @ He shall shake off his unripe grape as the vine, and shall cast off his flower as the olive.

ukjv@Job:15:34 @ For the congregation of hypocrites shall be desolate, and fire shall consume the tabernacles of bribery.

ukjv@Job:15:35 @ They conceive mischief, and bring forth vanity, and their belly prepares deceit.

Job 15
