Job 15:1-35

15:1
Then answered
<06030> (8799)
Eliphaz
<0464>
the Temanite
<08489>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
15:2
Should a wise man
<02450>
utter
<06030> (8799)
vain
<07307>
knowledge
<01847>_,
and fill
<04390> (8762)
his belly
<0990>
with the east wind
<06921>_?
{vain...: Heb. knowledge of wind}
15:3
Should he reason
<03198> (8687)
with unprofitable
<05532> (8799)
talk
<01697>_?
or with speeches
<04405>
wherewith he can do no good
<03276> (8686)_?
15:4
Yea, thou castest off
<06565> (8686)
fear
<03374>_,
and restrainest
<01639> (8799)
prayer
<07881>
before
<06440>
God
<0410>_.
{castest...: Heb. makest void} {prayer: or, speech}
15:5
For thy mouth
<06310>
uttereth
<0502> (8762)
thine iniquity
<05771>_,
and thou choosest
<0977> (8799)
the tongue
<03956>
of the crafty
<06175>_.
{uttereth: Heb. teacheth}
15:6
Thine own mouth
<06310>
condemneth
<07561> (8686)
thee, and not I: yea, thine own lips
<08193>
testify
<06030> (8799)
against thee.
15:7
[Art] thou the first
<07223> (8675) <07223>
man
<0120>
[that] was born
<03205> (8735)_?
or wast thou made
<02342> (8797)
before
<06440>
the hills
<01389>_?
15:8
Hast thou heard
<08085> (8799)
the secret
<05475>
of God
<0433>_?
and dost thou restrain
<01639> (8799)
wisdom
<02451>
to thyself?
15:9
What knowest
<03045> (8804)
thou, that we know
<03045> (8799)
not? [what] understandest
<0995> (8799)
thou, which [is] not in us?
15:10
With us [are] both the grayheaded
<07867> (8802)
and very aged
<03453>
men, much
<03524>
elder
<03117>
than thy father
<01>_.
15:11
[Are] the consolations
<08575>
of God
<0410>
small
<04592>
with thee? is there any secret
<0328>
thing
<01697>
with thee?
15:12
Why doth thine heart
<03820>
carry thee away
<03947> (8799)_?
and what do thy eyes
<05869>
wink at
<07335> (8799)_,
15:13
That thou turnest
<07725> (8686)
thy spirit
<07307>
against God
<0410>_,
and lettest [such] words
<04405>
go out
<03318> (8689)
of thy mouth
<06310>_?
15:14
What [is] man
<0582>_,
that he should be clean
<02135> (8799)_?
and [he which is] born
<03205> (8803)
of a woman
<0802>_,
that he should be righteous
<06663> (8799)_?
15:15
Behold, he putteth no trust
<0539> (8686)
in his saints
<06918>_;
yea, the heavens
<08064>
are not clean
<02141> (8804)
in his sight
<05869>_.
15:16
How much more abominable
<08581> (8737)
and filthy
<0444> (8737)
[is] man
<0376>_,
which drinketh
<08354> (8802)
iniquity
<05766> (8675) <05766>
like water
<04325>_?
15:17
I will shew
<02331> (8762)
thee, hear
<08085> (8798)
me; and that [which] I have seen
<02372> (8804)
I will declare
<05608> (8762)_;
15:18
Which wise
<02450>
men have told
<05046> (8686)
from their fathers
<01>_,
and have not hid
<03582> (8765)
[it]:
15:19
Unto whom alone the earth
<0776>
was given
<05414> (8738)_,
and no stranger
<02114> (8801)
passed
<05674> (8804)
among
<08432>
them.
15:20
The wicked
<07563>
man travaileth
<02342> (8711)
with pain all [his] days
<03117>_,
and the number
<04557>
of years
<08141>
is hidden
<06845> (8738)
to the oppressor
<06184>_.
15:21
A dreadful
<06343>
sound
<06963>
[is] in his ears
<0241>_:
in prosperity
<07965>
the destroyer
<07703> (8802)
shall come
<0935> (8799)
upon him. {A dreadful...: Heb. A sound of fears}
15:22
He believeth
<0539> (8686)
not that he shall return
<07725> (8800)
out of darkness
<02822>_,
and he is waited
<06822> (8803)
for of the sword
<02719>_.
15:23
He wandereth abroad
<05074> (8802)
for bread
<03899>_,
[saying], Where [is it]? he knoweth
<03045> (8804)
that the day
<03117>
of darkness
<02822>
is ready
<03559> (8737)
at his hand
<03027>_.
15:24
Trouble
<06862>
and anguish
<04691>
shall make him afraid
<01204> (8762)_;
they shall prevail
<08630> (8799)
against him, as a king
<04428>
ready
<06264>
to the battle
<03593>_.
15:25
For he stretcheth out
<05186> (8804)
his hand
<03027>
against God
<0410>_,
and strengtheneth
<01396> (8691)
himself against the Almighty
<07706>_.
15:26
He runneth
<07323> (8799)
upon him, [even] on [his] neck
<06677>_,
upon the thick
<05672>
bosses
<01354>
of his bucklers
<04043>_:
15:27
Because he covereth
<03680> (8765)
his face
<06440>
with his fatness
<02459>_,
and maketh
<06213> (8799)
collops of fat
<06371>
on [his] flanks
<03689>_.
15:28
And he dwelleth
<07931> (8799)
in desolate
<03582> (8737)
cities
<05892>_,
[and] in houses
<01004>
which no man inhabiteth
<03427> (8799)_,
which are ready
<06257> (8694)
to become heaps
<01530>_.
15:29
He shall not be rich
<06238> (8799)_,
neither shall his substance
<02428>
continue
<06965> (8799)_,
neither shall he prolong
<05186> (8799)
the perfection
<04512>
thereof upon the earth
<0776>_.
15:30
He shall not depart
<05493> (8799)
out of darkness
<02822>_;
the flame
<07957>
shall dry up
<03001> (8762)
his branches
<03127>_,
and by the breath
<07307>
of his mouth
<06310>
shall he go away
<05493> (8799)_.
15:31
Let not him that is deceived
<08582> (8738)
trust
<0539> (8686)
in vanity
<07723>_:
for vanity
<07723>
shall be his recompence
<08545>_.
15:32
It shall be accomplished
<04390> (8735)
before
<03808>
his time
<03117>_,
and his branch
<03712>
shall not be green
<07488>_.
{accomplished: or, cut off}
15:33
He shall shake off
<02554> (8799)
his unripe grape
<01154>
as the vine
<01612>_,
and shall cast off
<07993> (8686)
his flower
<05328>
as the olive
<02132>_.
15:34
For the congregation
<05712>
of hypocrites
<02611>
[shall be] desolate
<01565>_,
and fire
<0784>
shall consume
<0398> (8804)
the tabernacles
<0168>
of bribery
<07810>_.
15:35
They conceive
<02029> (8800)
mischief
<05999>_,
and bring forth
<03205> (8800)
vanity
<0205>_,
and their belly
<0990>
prepareth
<03559> (8686)
deceit
<04820>_.
{vanity: or, iniquity}
