        Job 15
      
    </p>

<p>

      
         1.  Then answered
      
      
        <b> Eliphaz the Temanite</b>
      
      
        , and said,
      
    <br/>

      
         2.  Should a wise man utter vain knowledge, and fill his belly with the east wind?
      
    <br/>

      
         3.  Should he reason with unprofitable talk? or with speeches wherewith he can do no good?
      
    <br/>

      
         
      
      
        4.  Yea, thou castest off fear, and restrainest prayer before God.
      
    <br/>

      
         5.  For thy mouth uttereth thine iniquity, and thou choosest the tongue of the crafty.
      
    <br/>

      
         6.  Thine own mouth condemneth thee, and not I: yea, thine own lips testify against thee.
      
    <br/>

      
         
      
      
        7.  Art thou the first man that was born? or wast thou made before the hills?
      
    <br/>

      
         8.  Hast thou heard the secret of God? and dost thou restrain wisdom to thyself?
      
    <br/>

      
         9.  What knowest thou, that we know not? what understandest thou, which is not in us?
      
    <br/>

      
         
      
      
        <b>10.  With us are both the grayheaded and very aged men, much elder than thy father.</b>
      
    <br/>

      
         
      
      
        11.  Are the consolations of God small with thee? is there any secret thing with thee?
      
    <br/>

      
         12.  Why doth thine heart carry thee away? and what do thy eyes wink at,
      
    <br/>

      
         13.  That thou turnest thy spirit against God, and lettest such words go out of thy mouth?
      
    <br/>

      
         14.  What is man, that he should be clean? and he which is born of a woman, that he 
        should be righteous?
      
    <br/>

      
         15.  Behold, he putteth no trust in his saints; yea, the heavens are not clean in his 
        sight.
      
    <br/>

      
         16.  How much more abominable and filthy is man, which drinketh iniquity like water?
      
    <br/>

      
         
      
      
        17.  I will shew thee, hear me; and that which I have seen I will declare;
      
    <br/>

      
         18.  Which wise men have told from their fathers, and have not hid it:
      
    <br/>

      
         19.  Unto whom alone the earth was given, and no stranger passed among them.
      
    <br/>

      
         20.  The wicked man travaileth with pain all his days, and the number of years is hidden 
        to the oppressor.
      
    <br/>

      
         21.  A dreadful sound is in his ears: in prosperity the destroyer shall come upon him.
      
    <br/>

      
         22.  He believeth not that he shall return out of darkness, and he is waited for of the 
        sword.
      
    <br/>

      
         23.  He wandereth abroad for bread, saying, Where is it? he knoweth that the day of 
        darkness is ready at his hand.
      
    <br/>

      
         24.  Trouble and anguish shall make him afraid; they shall prevail against him, as a king 
        ready to the battle.
      
    <br/>

      
         25.  For he stretcheth out his hand against God, and strengtheneth himself against the 
        Almighty.
      
    <br/>

      
         26.  He Runneth upon him, even on his neck, upon the thick bosses of his bucklers:
      
    <br/>

      
         27.  Because he covereth his face with his fatness, and maketh collops of fat on his 
        flanks.
      
    <br/>

      
         28.  And he dwelleth in desolate cities, and in houses which no man inhabiteth, which are 
        ready to become heaps.
      
    <br/>

      
         29.  He shall not be rich, neither shall his substance continue, neither shall he prolong 
        the perfection thereof upon the earth.
      
    <br/>

      
         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.
      
    <br/>

      
         31.  Let not him that is deceived trust in vanity: for vanity shall be his recompence.
      
    <br/>

      
         32.  It shall be accomplished before his time, and his branch shall not be green.
      
    <br/>

      
         33.  He shall shake off his unripe grape as the vine, and shall cast off his flower as 
        the olive.
      
    <br/>

      
         34.  For the congregation of hypocrites shall be desolate, and fire shall consume the 
        tabernacles of bribery.
      
    <br/>

      
         35.  They conceive mischief, and bring forth vanity, and their belly prepareth deceit.
