V.1 Then answered 6030-4 Eliphaz 464 the Temanite, 8489 and said, 559-4

15:2 Should a wise man 2450 utter 6030-4 vain 7307 knowledge, 1847 and fill 4390-17 his belly 990 with the east wind? 6921

15:3 Should he reason 3198-53 with unprofitable 3808 5532-4 talk? 1697 or with speeches 4405 wherewith he can do no good? 3276-55

15:4 Yea, thou castest off 6565-55 fear, 3374 and restrainest 1639-4 prayer 7881 before 6440 God. 410

15:5 For thy mouth 6310 uttereth 502-17 thine iniquity, 5771 and thou choosest 977-4 the tongue 3956 of the crafty. 6175

15:6 Thine own mouth 6310 condemneth 7561-55 thee, and not I: yea, thine own lips 8193 testify 6030-4 against thee.

15:7 [Art] thou the first 7223|7223-k man 120 [that] was born? 3205-11 or wast thou made 2342-49 before 6440 the hills? 1389

15:8 Hast thou heard 8085-4 the secret 5475 of God? 433 and dost thou restrain 1639-4 wisdom 2451 to thyself?

15:9 What knowest 3045-1 thou, that we know 3045-4 not? [what] understandest 995-4 thou, which [is] not in us?

15:10 With us [are] both the grayheaded 7867-6 and very aged 3453 men, much 3524 elder 3117 than thy father. 1

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

15:12 Why doth thine heart 3820 carry thee away? 3947-4 and what do thy eyes 5869 wink at, 7335-4

15:13 That thou turnest 7725-55 thy spirit 7307 against God, 410 and lettest [such] words 4405 go out 3318-52 of thy mouth? 6310

15:14 What [is] man, 582 that he should be clean? 2135-4 and [he which is] born 3205-7 of a woman, 802 that he should be righteous? 6663-4

15:15 Behold, he putteth no trust 539-55 in his saints; 6918 yea, the heavens 8064 are not clean 2141-1 in his sight. 5869

15:16 How much more abominable 8581-12 and filthy 444-12 [is] man, 376 which drinketh 8354-6 iniquity 5766 like water? 4325

15:17 I will shew 2331-17 thee, hear 8085-3 me; and that [which] I have seen 2372-1 I will declare; 5608-17

15:18 Which wise 2450 men have told 5046-55 from their fathers, 1 and have not hid 3582-14 [it]:

15:19 Unto whom alone the earth 776 was given, 5414-8 and no stranger 2114-5 passed 5674-1 among 8432 them.

15:20 The wicked 7563 man travaileth 2342-114 with pain all [his] days, 3117 and the number 4557 of years 8141 is hidden 6845-8 to the oppressor. 6184

15:21 A dreadful 6343 sound 6963 [is] in his ears: 241 in prosperity 7965 the destroyer 7703-6 shall come 935-4 upon him.

15:22 He believeth 539-55 not that he shall return 7725-2 out of darkness, 2822 and he is waited 6822-7 for of the sword. 2719

15:23 He wandereth abroad 5074-6 for bread, 3899 [saying], Where [is it]? he knoweth 3045-1 that the day 3117 of darkness 2822 is ready 3559-12 at his hand. 3027

15:24 Trouble 6862 and anguish 4691 shall make him afraid; 1204-17 they shall prevail 8630-4 against him, as a king 4428 ready 6264 to the battle. 3593

15:25 For he stretcheth out 5186-1 his hand 3027 against God, 410 and strengtheneth 1396-101 himself against the Almighty. 7706

15:26 He runneth 7323-4 upon him, [even] on [his] neck, 6677 upon the thick 5672 bosses 1354 of his bucklers: 4043

15:27 Because he covereth 3680-14 his face 6440 with his fatness, 2459 and maketh 6213-4 collops of fat 6371 on [his] flanks. 3689

15:28 And he dwelleth 7931-4 in desolate 3582-12 cities, 5892 [and] in houses 1004 which no man inhabiteth, 3427-4 which are ready to become 6257-98 heaps. 1530

15:29 He shall not be rich, 6238-4 neither shall his substance 2428 continue, 6965-4 neither shall he prolong 5186-4 the perfection 4512 thereof upon the earth. 776

15:30 He shall not depart 5493-4 out of darkness; 2822 the flame 7957 shall dry up 3001-17 his branches, 3127 and by the breath 7307 of his mouth 6310 shall he go away. 5493-4

15:31 Let not him that is deceived 8582-8 trust 539-55 in vanity: 7723 for vanity 7723 shall be his recompence. 8545

15:32 It shall be accomplished 4390-11 before 3808 his time, 3117 and his branch 3712 shall not be green. 7488

15:33 He shall shake off 2554-4 his unripe grape 1154 as the vine, 1612 and shall cast off 7993-55 his flower 5328 as the olive. 2132

15:34 For the congregation 5712 of hypocrites 2611 [shall be] desolate, 1565 and fire 784 shall consume 398-1 the tabernacles 168 of bribery. 7810
