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

updv@Job:15:2 @ Should a wise man make answer with vain knowledge, And fill himself with the east wind?

updv@Job:15:3 @ Should he reason with unprofitable talk, Or with speeches by which he can do no good?

updv@Job:15:4 @ Yes, you do away with fear, And hinder devotion before God.

updv@Job:15:5 @ For your iniquity teaches your mouth, And you choose the tongue of the crafty.

updv@Job:15:6 @ Your own mouth condemns you, and not I; Yes, your own lips testify against you.

updv@Job:15:7 @ Are you the first of man who was born? Or were you brought forth before the hills?

updv@Job:15:8 @ Have you heard the secret counsel of God? And do you limit wisdom to yourself?

updv@Job:15:9 @ What do you know, that we don't know? What do you understand, which is not in us?

updv@Job:15:10 @ With us are both the gray-headed and the very aged men, Much older than your father.

updv@Job:15:11 @ Are the consolations of God too small for you, Even the word that is gentle toward you?

updv@Job:15:12 @ Why does your heart carry you away? And why do your eyes flash,

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

updv@Job:15:14 @ What is common man, that he should be clean? And he who is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?

updv@Job:15:15 @ Look, he puts no trust in his holy ones; Yes, the heavens are not clean in his eyes:

updv@Job:15:16 @ How much less one who is disgusting and corrupt, A man who drinks iniquity like water!

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

updv@Job:15:18 @ (Which wise men have told From their fathers, and have not hid it;

updv@Job:15:19 @ To whom alone the land was given, And no stranger passed among them):

updv@Job:15:20 @ The wicked man travails with pain all his days, Even the number of years that are laid up for the oppressor.

updv@Job:15:21 @ A sound of terrors is in his ears; In prosperity the destroyer will come upon him.

updv@Job:15:22 @ He does not believe that he will return out of darkness, And he is destined for the sword.

updv@Job:15:23 @ He is destined for bread, as bread for vultures. He knows that he is ready for destruction.

updv@Job:15:24 @ The day of darkness terrifies him, distress and anguish make him afraid; They prevail against him, as a king ready to the battle.

updv@Job:15:25 @ Because he has stretched out his hand against God, And behaves himself proudly against the Almighty;

updv@Job:15:26 @ He runs on him with a [stiff] neck, With the thick bosses of his bucklers;

updv@Job:15:27 @ Because he has covered his face with his fatness, And gathered fat on his loins;

updv@Job:15:28 @ And he has stayed in desolate cities, In houses which no man inhabited, Which were ready to become heaps;

updv@Job:15:29 @ He will not be rich, neither will his substance continue, Neither will their possessions be extended on the earth.

updv@Job:15:30 @ He will not depart out of darkness; The flame will dry up his branches, And by the breath of [God's] mouth he will go away.

updv@Job:15:31 @ Let him not trust in vanity, deceiving himself; For vanity will be his recompense.

updv@Job:15:32 @ It will be accomplished before his time, And his branch will not be green.

updv@Job:15:33 @ He will shake off his unripe grape as the vine, And will cast off his flower as the olive-tree.

updv@Job:15:34 @ For the company of the godless will be barren, And fire will consume the tents of bribery.

updv@Job:15:35 @ They are pregnant with mischief, and give birth to iniquity, And their heart prepares deceit.
