Verse
Job - ch 15 v 21 - 35
- A fearful voice `is' in his ears, In peace doth a destroyer come to him.
- He believeth not to return from darkness, And watched `is' he for the sword.
- He is wandering for bread -- `Where `is' it?' He hath known that ready at his hand Is a day of darkness.
- Terrify him do adversity and distress, They prevail over him As a king ready for a boaster.
- For he stretched out against God his hand, And against the Mighty he maketh himself mighty.
- He runneth unto Him with a neck, With thick bosses of his shields.
- For he hath covered his face with his fat, And maketh vigour over `his' confidence.
- And he inhabiteth cities cut off, houses not dwelt in, That have been ready to become heaps.
- He is not rich, nor doth his wealth rise, Nor doth he stretch out on earth their continuance.
- He turneth not aside from darkness, His tender branch doth a flame dry up, And he turneth aside at the breath of His mouth!
- Let him not put credence in vanity, He hath been deceived, For vanity is his recompence.
- Not in his day is it completed, And his bending branch is not green.
- He shaketh off as a vine his unripe fruit, And casteth off as an olive his blossom.
- For the company of the profane `is' gloomy, And fire hath consumed tents of bribery.
- To conceive misery, and to bear iniquity, Even their heart doth prepare deceit.
