Job - Chapter: 15


15:1	Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite, and said,
15:2	Should a wise man utter vain knowledge, and fill his belly with the east wind?
15:3	Should he reason with unprofitable talk? or with speeches wherewith he can do no good?
15:4	Yea, thou castest off fear, and restrainest prayer before God.
15:5	For thy mouth uttereth thine iniquity, and thou choosest the tongue of the crafty.
15:6	Thine own mouth condemneth thee, and not I: yea, thine own lips testify against thee.
15:7	Art thou the first man that was born? or wast thou made before the hills?
15:8	Hast thou heard the secret of God? and dost thou restrain wisdom to thyself?
15:9	What knowest thou, that we know not? what understandest thou, which is not in us?
15:10	With us are both the grayheaded and very aged men, much elder than thy father.
15:11	Are the consolations of God small with thee? is there any secret thing with thee?
15:12	Why doth thine heart carry thee away? and what do thy eyes wink at,
15:13	That thou turnest thy spirit against God, and lettest such words go out of thy mouth?
15:14	What is man, that he should be clean? and he which is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?
15:15	Behold, he putteth no trust in his saints; yea, the heavens are not clean in his sight.
15:16	How much more abominable and filthy is man, which drinketh iniquity like water?
15:17	I will shew thee, hear me; and that which I have seen I will declare;
15:18	Which wise men have told from their fathers, and have not hid it:
15:19	Unto whom alone the earth was given, and no stranger passed among them.
15:20	The wicked man travaileth with pain all his days, and the number of years is hidden to the oppressor.
15:21	A dreadful sound is in his ears: in prosperity the destroyer shall come upon him.
15:22	He believeth not that he shall return out of darkness, and he is waited for of the sword.
15:23	He wandereth abroad for bread, saying, Where is it? he knoweth that the day of darkness is ready at his hand.
15:24	Trouble and anguish shall make him afraid; they shall prevail against him, as a king ready to the battle.
15:25	For he stretcheth out his hand against God, and strengtheneth himself against the Almighty.
15:26	He runneth upon him, even on his neck, upon the thick bosses of his bucklers:
15:27	Because he covereth his face with his fatness, and maketh collops of fat on his flanks.
15:28	And he dwelleth in desolate cities, and in houses which no man inhabiteth, which are ready to become heaps.
15:29	He shall not be rich, neither shall his substance continue, neither shall he prolong the perfection thereof upon the earth.
15:30	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.
15:31	Let not him that is deceived trust in vanity: for vanity shall be his recompence.
15:32	It shall be accomplished before his time, and his branch shall not be green.
15:33	He shall shake off his unripe grape as the vine, and shall cast off his flower as the olive.
15:34	For the congregation of hypocrites shall be desolate, and fire shall consume the tabernacles of bribery.
15:35	They conceive mischief, and bring forth vanity, and their belly prepareth deceit.


15:1	Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite, and saide,
15:2	Shal a wise man speake words of ye winde, and fill his bellie with the East winde?
15:3	Shall he dispute with wordes not comely? or with talke that is not profitable?
15:4	Surely thou hast cast off feare, and restrainest prayer before God.
15:5	For thy mouth declareth thine iniquitie, seeing thou hast chosen ye tongue of the crafty.
15:6	Thine owne mouth condemneth thee, and not I, and thy lippes testifie against thee.
15:7	Art thou the first man, that was borne? and wast thou made before the hils?
15:8	Hast thou heard the secret counsell of God, and doest thou restraine wisedome to thee?
15:9	What knowest thou that we knowe not? and vnderstandest that is not in vs?
15:10	With vs are both auncient and very aged men, farre older then thy father.
15:11	Seeme the consolations of God small vnto thee? is this thing strange vnto thee?
15:12	Why doeth thine heart take thee away, and what doe thine eyes meane,
15:13	That thou answerest to God at thy pleasure, and bringest such wordes out of thy mouth?
15:14	What is man, that he should be cleane? and he that is borne of woman, that he shoulde be iust?
15:15	Beholde, he founde no stedfastnesse in his Saintes: yea, the heauens are not cleane in his sight.
15:16	How much more is man abominable, and filthie, which drinketh iniquitie like water?
15:17	I will tell thee: heare me, and I will declare that which I haue seene:
15:18	Which wise men haue tolde, as they haue heard of their fathers, and haue not kept it secret:
15:19	To whome alone the land was giuen and no stranger passed through them.
15:20	The wicked man is continually as one that traueileth of childe, and the nomber of yeeres is hid from the tyrant.
15:21	A sounde of feare is in his eares, and in his prosperitie the destroyer shall come vpon him.
15:22	He beleeueth not to returne out of darknesse: for he seeth the sworde before him.
15:23	He wandreth to and from for bread where he may: he knoweth that the day of darkenesse is prepared at hande.
15:24	Affliction and anguish shall make him afraide: they shall preuaile against him as a King readie to the battell.
15:25	For he hath stretched out his hand against GOD, and made him selfe strong against the Almightie.
15:26	Therefore God shall runne vpon him, euen vpon his necke, and against the most thicke part of his shielde.
15:27	Because he hath couered his face with his fatnesse, and hath colloppes in his flancke.
15:28	Though he dwell in desolate cities, and in houses which no man inhabiteth, but are become heapes,
15:29	He shall not be rich, neither shall his substance continue, neither shall he prolong the perfection thereof in the earth.
15:30	He shall neuer depart out of darkenesse: the flame shall drie vp his branches, and he shall goe away with the breath of his mouth.
15:31	He beleeueth not that he erreth in vanitie: therefore vanitie shalbe his change.
15:32	His branch shall not be greene, but shall be cut off before his day.
15:33	God shall destroy him as the vine her sower grape, and shall cast him off, as the oliue doeth her flowre.
15:34	For the congregation of the hypocrite shalbe desolate, and fire shall deuoure the houses of bribes.
15:35	For they conceiue mischiefe and bring foorth vanitie, and their bellie hath prepared deceite.
