Job 15

1 Eliphaz reproveth Job of impiety in justifying himself. 17 He proveth by tradition the unquietness of wicked men.

 15:1 ¶ Then answered 6030 z8799 Eliphaz 464 the Temanite, 8489 and said, 559 z8799

 15:2 Should a wise x2450 man y2450 utter 6030 z8799 vain 7307 knowledge, 1847 and fill 4390 z8762 his belly 990 with the east wind? 6921

 15:3 Should he reason 3198 z8687 with unprofitable 5532 z8799 x3808 talk? 1697 or with speeches 4405 wherewith he can do no x3808 good? 3276 z8686

 15:4 Yea, x637 thou x859 castest off 6565 z8686 fear, 3374 and restrainest 1639 z8799 prayer 7881 before 6440 God. 410

 15:5 For x3588 thy mouth 6310 uttereth 502 z8762 thine iniquity, 5771 and thou choosest 977 z8799 the tongue 3956 of the crafty. 6175

 15:6 Thine own mouth 6310 condemneth 7561 z8686 thee, and not x3808 I: x589 yea, thine own lips 8193 testify 6030 z8799 against thee.

 15:7 [Art] thou the first 7223 z8675 man 120 [that] was born? 3205 z8735 or wast thou made 2342 z8797 before 6440 the hills? 1389

 15:8 Hast thou heard 8085 z8799 the secret 5475 of God? 433 and dost thou restrain 1639 z8799 wisdom 2451 to x413 thyself?

 15:9 What x4100 knowest 3045 z8804 thou, that we know 3045 z8799 not? x3808 [what] understandest 995 z8799 thou, which x1931 [is] not x3808 in x5973 us?

 15:10 With us [are] both x1571 the grayheaded 7867 z8802 and x1571 very aged y3453 men, x3453 much y3524 elder 3117 x3524 than thy father. 1 x4480

 15:11 [Are] the consolations 8575 of God 410 small 4592 with x4480 thee? is there any secret 328 thing 1697 with x5973 thee?

 15:12 Why x4100 doth thine heart 3820 carry thee away? 3947 z8799 and what x4100 do thy eyes 5869 wink at, 7335 z8799

 15:13 That x3588 thou turnest 7725 z8686 thy spirit 7307 against x413 God, 410 and lettest [such] words 4405 go out 3318 z8689 of thy mouth? 6310 x4480

 15:14 What x4100 [is] man, 582 that x3588 he should be clean? 2135 z8799 and [he which is] born 3205 z8803 of a woman, 802 that x3588 he should be righteous? 6663 z8799

 15:15 Behold, x2005 he putteth no trust 539 z8686 x3808 in his saints; 6918 yea, the heavens 8064 are not x3808 clean 2141 z8804 in his sight. 5869

 15:16 How much more x637 x3588 abominable 8581 z8737 and filthy 444 z8737 [is] man, 376 which drinketh 8354 z8802 iniquity 5766 z8675 like water? 4325

 15:17 I will show 2331 z8762 thee, hear 8085 z8798 me; and that x2088 [which] I have seen 2372 z8804 I will declare; 5608 z8762

 15:18 Which x834 wise 2450 men have told 5046 z8686 from their fathers, 1 x4480 and have not x3808 hid 3582 z8765 [it]:

 15:19 Unto whom alone x905 the earth 776 was given, 5414 z8738 and no x3808 stranger 2114 z8801 passed 5674 z8804 among 8432 them.

 15:20 The wicked y7563 man x7563 travaileth y2342 z8711 with pain x2342 all x3605 [his] days, 3117 and the number 4557 of years 8141 is hidden 6845 z8738 to the oppressor. 6184

 15:21 A dreadful 6343 sound 6963 [is] in his ears: 241 in prosperity 7965 the destroyer 7703 z8802 shall come y935 z8799 upon x935 him.

 15:22 He believeth 539 z8686 not x3808 that he shall return 7725 z8800 out of x4480 darkness, 2822 and he x1931 is waited y6822 z8803 for x6822 of x413 the sword. 2719

 15:23 He x1931 wandereth abroad 5074 z8802 for bread, 3899 [saying], Where x346 [is it]? he knoweth 3045 z8804 that x3588 the day 3117 of darkness 2822 is ready 3559 z8737 at his hand. 3027

 15:24 Trouble 6862 and anguish 4691 shall make him afraid; 1204 z8762 they shall prevail y8630 z8799 against x8630 him, as a king 4428 ready 6264 to the battle. 3593

 15:25 For x3588 he stretcheth out 5186 z8804 his hand 3027 against x413 God, 410 and strengtheneth y1396 z8691 himself x1396 against x413 the Almighty. 7706

 15:26 He runneth 7323 z8799 upon x413 him, [even] on [his] neck, 6677 upon the thick 5672 bosses 1354 of his bucklers: 4043

 15:27 Because x3588 he covereth 3680 z8765 his face 6440 with his fatness, 2459 and maketh 6213 z8799 collops of fat 6371 on x5921 [his] flanks. 3689

 15:28 And he dwelleth y7931 z8799 in x7931 desolate 3582 z8737 cities, 5892 [and] in houses y1004 which x1004 no x3808 man inhabiteth, 3427 z8799 which x834 are ready 6257 z8694 to become heaps. 1530

 15:29 He shall not x3808 be rich, 6238 z8799 neither x3808 shall his substance 2428 continue, 6965 z8799 neither x3808 shall he prolong 5186 z8799 the perfection 4512 thereof upon the earth. 776

 15:30 He shall not x3808 depart 5493 z8799 out of x4480 darkness; 2822 the flame 7957 shall dry up 3001 z8762 his branches, 3127 and by the breath 7307 of his mouth 6310 shall he go away. 5493 z8799

 15:31 Let not x408 him that is deceived 8582 z8738 trust 539 z8686 in vanity: 7723 for x3588 vanity 7723 shall be x1961 his recompense. 8545

 15:32 It shall be accomplished 4390 z8735 before 3808 his time, 3117 and his branch 3712 shall not x3808 be green. 7488

 15:33 He shall shake off 2554 z8799 his unripe grape 1154 as the vine, 1612 and shall cast off 7993 z8686 his flower 5328 as the olive. 2132

 15:34 For x3588 the congregation 5712 of hypocrites 2611 [shall be] desolate, 1565 and fire 784 shall consume 398 z8804 the tabernacles 168 of bribery. 7810

 15:35 They conceive 2029 z8800 mischief, 5999 and bring forth 3205 z8800 vanity, 205 and their belly 990 prepareth 3559 z8686 deceit. 4820
