ylt@Job:15:1 @And Eliphaz the Temanite answereth and saith: --

ylt@Job:15:2 @Doth a wise man answer [with] vain knowledge? And fill [with] an east wind his belly?

ylt@Job:15:3 @To reason with a word not useful? And speeches -- no profit in them?

ylt@Job:15:4 @Yea, thou dost make reverence void, And dost diminish meditation before God.

ylt@Job:15:5 @For thy mouth teacheth thine iniquity, And thou chooseth the tongue of the subtile.

ylt@Job:15:6 @Thy mouth declareth thee wicked, and not I, And thy lips testify against thee.

ylt@Job:15:7 @The first man art thou born? And before the heights wast thou formed?

ylt@Job:15:8 @Of the secret counsel of God dost thou hear? And withdrawest thou unto thee wisdom?

ylt@Job:15:9 @What hast thou known, and we know not? Understandest thou -- and it is not with us?

ylt@Job:15:10 @Both the gray-headed And the very aged [are] among us -- Greater than thy father [in] days.

ylt@Job:15:11 @Too few for thee are the comforts of God? And a gentle word [is] with thee,

ylt@Job:15:12 @What -- doth thine heart take thee away? And what -- are thine eyes high?

ylt@Job:15:13 @For thou turnest against God thy spirit? And hast brought out words from thy mouth:

ylt@Job:15:14 @What [is] man that he is pure, And that he is righteous, one born of woman?

ylt@Job:15:15 @Lo, in His holy ones He putteth no credence, And the heavens have not been pure in His eyes.

ylt@Job:15:16 @Also -- surely abominable and filthy Is man drinking as water perverseness.

ylt@Job:15:17 @I shew thee -- hearken to me -- And this I have seen and declare:

ylt@Job:15:18 @Which the wise declare -- And have not hid -- from their fathers.

ylt@Job:15:19 @To them alone was the land given, And a stranger passed not over into their midst:

ylt@Job:15:20 @'All days of the wicked he is paining himself, And few years have been laid up for the terrible one.

ylt@Job:15:21 @A fearful voice [is] in his ears, In peace doth a destroyer come to him.

ylt@Job:15:22 @He believeth not to return from darkness, And watched [is] he for the sword.

ylt@Job:15:23 @He is wandering for bread -- 'Where [is] it?' He hath known that ready at his hand Is a day of darkness.

ylt@Job:15:24 @Terrify him do adversity and distress, They prevail over him As a king ready for a boaster.

ylt@Job:15:25 @For he stretched out against God his hand, And against the Mighty he maketh himself mighty.

ylt@Job:15:26 @He runneth unto Him with a neck, With thick bosses of his shields.

ylt@Job:15:27 @For he hath covered his face with his fat, And maketh vigour over [his] confidence.

ylt@Job:15:28 @And he inhabiteth cities cut off, houses not dwelt in, That have been ready to become heaps.

ylt@Job:15:29 @He is not rich, nor doth his wealth rise, Nor doth he stretch out on earth their continuance.

ylt@Job:15:30 @He turneth not aside from darkness, His tender branch doth a flame dry up, And he turneth aside at the breath of His mouth!

ylt@Job:15:31 @Let him not put credence in vanity, He hath been deceived, For vanity is his recompence.

ylt@Job:15:32 @Not in his day is it completed, And his bending branch is not green.

ylt@Job:15:33 @He shaketh off as a vine his unripe fruit, And casteth off as an olive his blossom.

ylt@Job:15:34 @For the company of the profane [is] gloomy, And fire hath consumed tents of bribery.

ylt@Job:15:35 @To conceive misery, and to bear iniquity, Even their heart doth prepare deceit.

Job 15
