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}
