Job 15 WBS — Job 15

1 Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite, and said, WBS — Job 15:1

2 Should a wise men utter vain knowledge, and fill his belly with the east wind? WBS — Job 15:2

3 Should he reason with unprofitable talk? or with speeches with which he can do no good? WBS — Job 15:3

4 Yes, thou castest off fear, and restrainest prayer before God. WBS — Job 15:4

5 For thy mouth uttereth thy iniquity, and thou choosest the tongue of the crafty. WBS — Job 15:5

6 Thy own mouth condemneth thee, and not I: yes, thy own lips testify against thee. WBS — Job 15:6

7 Art thou the first man that was born? or wast thou made before the hills? WBS — Job 15:7

8 Hast thou heard the secret of God? and dost thou restrain wisdom to thyself? WBS — Job 15:8

9 What knowest thou that we know not? what understandest thou, which is not in us? WBS — Job 15:9

10 With us are both the gray headed and very aged men, much older than thy father. WBS — Job 15:10

11 Are the consolations of God small with thee? is there any secret thing with thee? WBS — Job 15:11

12 Why doth thy heart carry thee away? and what do thy eyes wink at, WBS — Job 15:12

13 That thou turnest thy spirit against God, and lettest such words go out of thy mouth? WBS — Job 15:13

14 What is man, that he should be clean? and he who is born of a woman, that he should be righteous? WBS — Job 15:14

15 Behold, he putteth no trust in his saints; yes, the heavens are not clean in his sight. WBS — Job 15:15

16 How much more abominable and filthy is man, who drinketh iniquity like water? WBS — Job 15:16

17 I will show thee, hear me; and that which I have seen, I will declare; WBS — Job 15:17

18 Which wise men have told from their fathers, and have not hid it: WBS — Job 15:18

19 To whom alone the earth was given, and no stranger passed among them. WBS — Job 15:19

20 The wicked man travaileth with pain all his days, and the number of years is hidden to the oppressor. WBS — Job 15:20

21 A dreadful sound is in his ears: in prosperity the destroyer shall come upon him. WBS — Job 15:21

22 He believeth not that he shall return out of darkness, and he is waited for by the sword. WBS — Job 15:22

23 He wandereth abroad for bread, saying, Where is it? he knoweth that the day of darkness is ready at his hand. WBS — Job 15:23

24 Trouble and anguish shall make him afraid; they shall prevail against him, as a king ready to the battle. WBS — Job 15:24

25 For he stretcheth out his hand against God, and strengtheneth himself against the Almighty. WBS — Job 15:25

26 He runneth upon him, even on his neck, upon the thick bosses of his bucklers: WBS — Job 15:26

27 Because he covereth his face with his fatness, and maketh collops of fat on his flanks. WBS — Job 15:27

28 And he dwelleth in desolate cities, and in houses which no man inhabiteth, which are ready to become heaps. WBS — Job 15:28

29 He shall not be rich, neither shall his substance continue, neither shall he prolong the perfection of it upon the earth. WBS — Job 15:29

30 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. WBS — Job 15:30

31 Let not him that is deceived trust in vanity: for vanity shall be his recompense. WBS — Job 15:31

32 It shall be accomplished before his time, and his branch shall not be green. WBS — Job 15:32

33 He shall shake off his unripe grape as the vine, and shall cast off his flower as the olive. WBS — Job 15:33

34 For the congregation of hypocrites shall be desolate, and fire shall consume the tabernacles of bribery. WBS — Job 15:34

35 They conceive mischief, and bring forth vanity, and their belly prepareth deceit. WBS — Job 15:35
