    Job 15
    • 1   Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered,
    • 2   “Should a wise man answer with vain knowledge, and fill himself with the east wind?
    • 3   Should he reason with unprofitable talk, or with speeches with which he can do no good?
    • 4   Yes, you do away with fear, and hinder devotion before God.
    • 5   For your iniquity teaches your mouth, and you choose the language of the crafty.
    • 6   Your own mouth condemns you, and not I. Yes, your own lips testify against you.
    • 7   “Are you the first man who was born? Or were you brought out before the hills?
    • 8   Have you heard the secret counsel of God? Do you limit wisdom to yourself?
    • 9   What do you know, that we don’t know? What do you understand, which is not in us?
    • 10   With us are both the gray-headed and the very aged men, much elder than your father.
    • 11   Are the consolations of God too small for you, even the word that is gentle toward you?
    • 12   Why does your heart carry you away? Why do your eyes flash,
    • 13   That you turn your spirit against God, and let such words go out of your mouth?
    • 14   What is man, that he should be clean? What is he who is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?
    • 15   Behold, he puts no trust in his holy ones. Yes, the heavens are not clean in his sight;
    • 16   how much less one who is abominable and corrupt, a man who drinks iniquity like water!
    • 17   “I will show you, listen to me; that which I have seen I will declare:
    • 18   (Which wise men have told by their fathers, and have not hidden it;
    • 19   to whom alone the land was given, and no stranger passed among them):
    • 20   the wicked man writhes in pain all his days, even the number of years that are laid up for the oppressor.
    • 21   A sound of terrors is in his ears. In prosperity the destroyer shall come on him.
    • 22   He doesn’t believe that he shall return out of darkness. He is waited for by the sword.
    • 23   He wanders abroad for bread, saying, ‘Where is it?’ He knows that the day of darkness is ready at his hand.
    • 24   Distress and anguish make him afraid. They prevail against him, as a king ready to the battle.
    • 25   Because he has stretched out his hand against God, and behaves himself proudly against the Almighty;
    • 26   he runs at him with a stiff neck, with the thick shields of his bucklers;
    • 27   because he has covered his face with his fatness, and gathered fat on his thighs.
    • 28   He has lived in desolate cities, in houses which no one inhabited, which were ready to become heaps.
    • 29   He shall not be rich, neither shall his substance continue, neither shall their possessions be extended on the earth.
    • 30   He shall not depart out of darkness. The flame shall dry up his branches. By the breath of God’s mouth shall he go away.
    • 31   Let him not trust in emptiness, deceiving himself; for emptiness shall be his reward.
    • 32   It shall be accomplished before his time. His branch shall not be green.
    • 33   He shall shake off his unripe grape as the vine, and shall cast off his flower as the olive tree.
    • 34   For the company of the godless shall be barren, and fire shall consume the tents of bribery.
    • 35   They conceive mischief, and produce iniquity. Their heart prepares deceit.”
