Verse
Job - ch 15 v 1 - 20
- Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite, and said,
- Should a wise men utter vain knowledge, and fill his belly with the east wind?
- Should he reason with unprofitable talk? or with speeches with which he can do no good?
- Yes, thou castest off fear, and restrainest prayer before God.
- For thy mouth uttereth thy iniquity, and thou choosest the tongue of the crafty.
- Thy own mouth condemneth thee, and not I: yes, thy own lips testify against thee.
- Art thou the first man that was born? or wast thou made before the hills?
- Hast thou heard the secret of God? and dost thou restrain wisdom to thyself?
- What knowest thou that we know not? what understandest thou, which is not in us?
- With us are both the gray headed and very aged men, much older than thy father.
- Are the consolations of God small with thee? is there any secret thing with thee?
- Why doth thy heart carry thee away? and what do thy eyes wink at,
- That thou turnest thy spirit against God, and lettest such words go out of thy mouth?
- What is man, that he should be clean? and he who is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?
- Behold, he putteth no trust in his saints; yes, the heavens are not clean in his sight.
- How much more abominable and filthy is man, who drinketh iniquity like water?
- I will show thee, hear me; and that which I have seen, I will declare;
- Which wise men have told from their fathers, and have not hid it:
- To whom alone the earth was given, and no stranger passed among them.
- The wicked man travaileth with pain all his days, and the number of years is hidden to the oppressor.
