Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite, and said,Job 15:1

Should a wise man utter vain knowledge, and fill his belly with the east wind?Job 15:2

Should he reason with unprofitable talk? or with speeches wherewith he can do no good?Job 15:3

Yea, thou castest off fear, and restrainest prayer before God.Job 15:4

For thy mouth uttereth thine iniquity, and thou choosest the tongue of the crafty.Job 15:5

Thine own mouth condemneth thee, and not I: yea, thine own lips testify against thee.Job 15:6

Art thou the first man that was born? or wast thou made before the hills?Job 15:7

Hast thou heard the secret of God? and dost thou restrain wisdom to thyself?Job 15:8

What knowest thou, that we know not? what understandest thou, which is not in us?Job 15:9

With us are both the grayheaded and very aged men, much elder than thy father.Job 15:10

Are the consolations of God small with thee? is there any secret thing with thee?Job 15:11

Why doth thine heart carry thee away? and what do thy eyes wink at,Job 15:12

That thou turnest thy spirit against God, and lettest such words go out of thy mouth?Job 15:13

What is man, that he should be clean? and he which is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?Job 15:14

Behold, he putteth no trust in his saints; yea, the heavens are not clean in his sight.Job 15:15

How much more abominable and filthy is man, which drinketh iniquity like water?Job 15:16

I will shew thee, hear me; and that which I have seen I will declare;Job 15:17

Which wise men have told from their fathers, and have not hid it:Job 15:18

Unto whom alone the earth was given, and no stranger passed among them.Job 15:19

The wicked man travaileth with pain all his days, and the number of years is hidden to the oppressor.Job 15:20

A dreadful sound is in his ears: in prosperity the destroyer shall come upon him.Job 15:21

He believeth not that he shall return out of darkness, and he is waited for of the sword.Job 15:22

He wandereth abroad for bread, saying, Where is it? he knoweth that the day of darkness is ready at his hand.Job 15:23

Trouble and anguish shall make him afraid; they shall prevail against him, as a king ready to the battle.Job 15:24

For he stretcheth out his hand against God, and strengtheneth himself against the Almighty.Job 15:25

He runneth upon him, even on his neck, upon the thick bosses of his bucklers:Job 15:26

Because he covereth his face with his fatness, and maketh collops of fat on his flanks.Job 15:27

And he dwelleth in desolate cities, and in houses which no man inhabiteth, which are ready to become heaps.Job 15:28

He shall not be rich, neither shall his substance continue, neither shall he prolong the perfection thereof upon the earth.Job 15:29

He shall not depart out of darkness; the flame shall dry up his branches, and by the breath of his mouth shall he go away.Job 15:30

Let not him that is deceived trust in vanity: for vanity shall be his recompence.Job 15:31

It shall be accomplished before his time, and his branch shall not be green.Job 15:32

He shall shake off his unripe grape as the vine, and shall cast off his flower as the olive.Job 15:33

For the congregation of hypocrites shall be desolate, and fire shall consume the tabernacles of bribery.Job 15:34

They conceive mischief, and bring forth vanity, and their belly prepareth deceit.Job 15:35
