15:001
Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite, and said
15:002
Should a wise man make answer with windy knowledge, and
fill his belly with the east wind
15:003
Should he reason with unprofitable talk, or with speeches
wherewith he can do no good
15:004
Yea, thou doest away with fear, and impairest devotion
before G-d
15:005
For thine iniquity teacheth thy mouth, and thou choosest
the tongue of the crafty
15:006
Thine own mouth condemneth thee, and not I; yea, thine own
lips testify against thee
15:007
Art thou the first man that was born? Or wast thou brought
forth before the hills
15:008
Dost thou hearken in the council of G-d? And dost thou
restrain wisdom to thyself
15:009
What knowest thou, that we know not? What understandest
thou, which is not in us
15:010
With us are both the gray-headed and the very aged men,
much older than thy father
15:011
Are the consolations of G-d too small for thee, and the
word that dealeth gently with thee
15:012
Why doth thy heart carry thee away? And why do thine eyes
wink
15:013
That thou turnest thy spirit against G-d, and lettest such
words go out of thy mouth
15:014
What is man, that he should be clean? And he that is born
of a woman, that he should be righteous
15:015
Behold, He putteth no trust in His holy ones; yea, the
heavens are not clean in His sight
15:016
How much less one that is abominable and impure, man who
drinketh iniquity like water
15:017
I will tell thee, hear thou me; and that which I have seen
I will declare-
15:018
Which wise men have told from their fathers, and have not
hid it
15:019
Unto whom alone the land was given, and no stranger passed
among them
15:020
The wicked man travaileth with pain all his days, even the
number of years that are laid up for the oppressor
15:021
A sound of terrors is in his ears: in prosperity the
destroyer shall come upon him
15:022
He believeth not that he shall return out of darkness, and
he is waited for of the sword
15:023
He wandereth abroad for bread: 'Where is it?' He knoweth
that the day of darkness is ready at his hand
15:024
Distress and anguish overwhelm him; they prevail against
him, as a king ready to the battle
15:025
Because he hath stretched out his hand against G-d, and
behaveth himself proudly against the Almighty
15:026
He runneth upon him with a stiff neck, with the thick
bosses of his bucklers
15:027
Because he hath covered his face with his fatness, and
made collops of fat on his loins
15:028
And he hath dwelt in desolate cities, in houses which no
man would inhabit, which were ready to become heaps
15:029
He shall not be rich, neither shall his substance
continue, neither shall their produce bend to the earth
15:030
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
15:031
Let him not trust in vanity, deceiving himself; for vanity
shall be his recompense
15:032
It shall be accomplished before his time, and his branch
shall not be leafy
15:033
He shall shake off his unripe grape as the vine, and shall
cast off his flower as the olive
15:034
For the company of the godless shall be desolate, and fire
shall consume the tents of bribery
15:035
They conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity, and
their belly prepareth deceit
