* Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite , and said , * Should a wise man utter vain knowledge da #ath #, and fill his belly with the east wind ? * Should he reason with unprofitable talk ? or with speeches wherewith he can do no good ? * Yea , thou castest off fear yir #ah #, and restrainest prayer before God . * For thy mouth uttereth thine iniquity , and thou choosest the tongue of the crafty . * Thine own mouth condemneth thee , and not I : yea , thine own lips testify against thee . * Art thou the first ri # man that was born ? or wast thou made before the hills gib #ah #? * Hast thou heard the secret of God ? and dost thou restrain wisdom to thyself ? * What knowest thou , that we know not ? what understandest thou , which is not in us ? * With us are both the grayheaded and very aged men , much elder than thy father . * Are the consolations of God small with thee ? is there any secret thing with thee ? * Why doth thine heart carry thee away ? and what do thy eyes wink at , * That thou turnest thy spirit against God , and lettest such words go out of thy mouth ? * What is man , that he should be clean ? and he which is born of a woman , that he should be righteous ? * Behold , he putteth no trust in his saints ; yea , the heavens are not clean in his sight . * How much more abominable and filthy is man , which drinketh iniquity # like water ? * I will shew thee , hear me ; and that which I have seen I will declare ; * Which wise men have told from their fathers , and have not hid it : * Unto whom alone the earth was given , and no stranger passed among them . * The wicked man travaileth with pain all his days , and the number of years is hidden to the oppressor . * A dreadful sound is in his ears : in prosperity the destroyer shall come upon him . * He believeth not that he shall return out of darkness , and he is waited for of the sword . * He wandereth abroad for bread , saying , Where is it ? he knoweth that the day of darkness is ready at his hand . * Trouble and anguish shall make him afraid ; they shall prevail against him , as a king ready to the battle . * For he stretcheth out his hand against God , and strengtheneth himself against the Almighty . * He runneth upon him , even on his neck tsavva #r #, upon the thick bosses of his bucklers : * Because he covereth his face with his fatness , and maketh collops of fat on his flanks . * And he dwelleth in desolate cities , and in houses which no man inhabiteth , which are ready to become heaps . * He shall not be rich , neither shall his substance continue , neither shall he prolong the perfection thereof upon the earth . * 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 . * Let not him that is deceived trust in vanity : for vanity shall be his recompence . * It shall be accomplished before his time , and his branch shall not be green ra #anan #. * He shall shake off his unripe grape as the vine , and shall cast off his flower as the olive . * For the congregation of hypocrites shall be desolate , and fire shall consume the tabernacles of bribery . * They conceive mischief , and bring forth vanity , and their belly prepareth deceit .
