Verse
Job - ch 15 v 1 - 20
- And Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,
- Should a wise man answer with windy knowledge, and fill his belly with the east wind,
- Reasoning with unprofitable talk, and with speeches which do no good?
- Yea, thou makest piety of none effect, and restrainest meditation before ùGod.
- For thy mouth uttereth thine iniquity, and thou hast chosen the tongue of the crafty.
- Thine own mouth condemneth thee, and not I; and thy lips testify against thee.
- Art thou the first man that was born? and wast thou brought forth before the hills?
- Hast thou listened in the secret council of +God? And hast thou absorbed wisdom for thyself?
- What knowest thou that we know not? what understandest thou which is not in us?
- Both the greyheaded and the aged are with us, older than thy father.
- Are the consolations of ùGod too small for thee? and the word gently spoken to thee?
- Why doth thy heart carry thee away? and why do thine eyes wink?
- That thou turnest thy spirit against ùGod, and lettest words go out of thy mouth?
- What is man, that he should be pure? and he that is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?
- Behold, he putteth no trust in his holy ones, and the heavens are not pure in his sight:
- How much less the abominable and corrupt, -- man, that drinketh unrighteousness like water!
- I will shew thee, listen to me; and what I have seen I will declare;
- Which wise men have told from their fathers, and have not hidden;
- Unto whom alone the earth was given, and no stranger passed among them.
- All his days the wicked man is tormented, and numbered years are allotted to the violent.
