Verse
Job - ch 15 v 1 - 20
- And Eliphaz the Temanite made answer and said,
- Will a wise man make answer with knowledge of no value, or will he give birth to the east wind?
- Will he make arguments with words in which is no profit, and with sayings which have no value?
- Truly, you make the fear of God without effect, so that the time of quiet worship before God is made less by your outcry.
- For your mouth is guided by your sin, and you have taken the tongue of the false for yourself.
- It is by your mouth, even yours, that you are judged to be in the wrong, and not by me; and your lips give witness against you.
- Were you the first man to come into the world? or did you come into being before the hills?
- Were you present at the secret meeting of God? and have you taken all wisdom for yourself?
- What knowledge have you which we have not? is there anything in your mind which is not in ours?
- With us are men who are grey-haired and full of years, much older than your father.
- Are the comforts of God not enough for you, and the gentle word which was said to you?
- Why is your heart uncontrolled, and why are your eyes lifted up;
- So that you are turning your spirit against God, and letting such words go out of your mouth?
- What is man, that he may be clean? and how may the son of woman be upright?
- Truly, he puts no faith in his holy ones, and the heavens are not clean in his eyes;
- How much less one who is disgusting and unclean, a man who takes in evil like water!
- Take note and give ear to my words; and I will say what I have seen:
- (The things which wise men have got from their fathers, and have not kept secret from us;
- For only to them was the land given, and no strange people were among them:)
- The evil man is in pain all his days, and the number of the years stored up for the cruel is small.
