Job
Chapter 15

15:1 And Eliphaz the Temanite answereth and saith: --

15:2 Doth a wise man answer `with' vain knowledge? And fill `with' an east wind his belly?

15:3 To reason with a word not useful? And speeches -- no profit in them?

15:4 Yea, thou dost make reverence void, And dost diminish meditation before God.

15:5 For thy mouth teacheth thine iniquity, And thou chooseth the tongue of the subtile.

15:6 Thy mouth declareth thee wicked, and not I, And thy lips testify against thee.

15:7 The first man art thou born? And before the heights wast thou formed?

15:8 Of the secret counsel of God dost thou hear? And withdrawest thou unto thee wisdom?

15:9 What hast thou known, and we know not? Understandest thou -- and it is not with us?

15:10 Both the gray-headed And the very aged `are' among us -- Greater than thy father `in' days.

15:11 Too few for thee are the comforts of God? And a gentle word `is' with thee,

15:12 What -- doth thine heart take thee away? And what -- are thine eyes high?

15:13 For thou turnest against God thy spirit? And hast brought out words from thy mouth:

15:14 What `is' man that he is pure, And that he is righteous, one born of woman?

15:15 Lo, in His holy ones He putteth no credence, And the heavens have not been pure in His eyes.

15:16 Also -- surely abominable and filthy Is man drinking as water perverseness.

15:17 I shew thee -- hearken to me -- And this I have seen and declare:

15:18 Which the wise declare -- And have not hid -- from their fathers.

15:19 To them alone was the land given, And a stranger passed not over into their midst:

15:20 `All days of the wicked he is paining himself, And few years have been laid up for the terrible one.

15:21 A fearful voice `is' in his ears, In peace doth a destroyer come to him.

15:22 He believeth not to return from darkness, And watched `is' he for the sword.

15:23 He is wandering for bread -- `Where `is' it?' He hath known that ready at his hand Is a day of darkness.

15:24 Terrify him do adversity and distress, They prevail over him As a king ready for a boaster.

15:25 For he stretched out against God his hand, And against the Mighty he maketh himself mighty.

15:26 He runneth unto Him with a neck, With thick bosses of his shields.

15:27 For he hath covered his face with his fat, And maketh vigour over `his' confidence.

15:28 And he inhabiteth cities cut off, houses not dwelt in, That have been ready to become heaps.

15:29 He is not rich, nor doth his wealth rise, Nor doth he stretch out on earth their continuance.

15:30 He turneth not aside from darkness, His tender branch doth a flame dry up, And he turneth aside at the breath of His mouth!

15:31 Let him not put credence in vanity, He hath been deceived, For vanity is his recompence.

15:32 Not in his day is it completed, And his bending branch is not green.

15:33 He shaketh off as a vine his unripe fruit, And casteth off as an olive his blossom.

15:34 For the company of the profane `is' gloomy, And fire hath consumed tents of bribery.

15:35 To conceive misery, and to bear iniquity, Even their heart doth prepare deceit.
