| 15:1 |  hen answered Eliphaz the Temanite, and said, |
|
| 15:2 | Should a wise man vtter vaine knowledge, and fill his belly with the East winde? |
 |
| 15:3 | Should hee reason with vnprofitable talke? or with speeches wherewith he can doe no good? | |
| 15:4 | Yea thou castest off feare, and restrainest prayer before God. |
|
| 15:5 | For thy mouth vttereth thine iniquitie, and thou choosest the tongue of the craftie. |
|
| 15:6 | Thine owne mouth condemneth thee, and not I: yea thine owne lippes testifie against thee. | |
| 15:7 | Art thou the first man that was borne? or wast thou made before the hilles? | |
| 15:8 | Hast thou heard the secret of God? and doest thou restraine wisedome to thy selfe? | |
| 15:9 | What knowest thou that we know not? what vnderstandest thou, which is not in vs? | |
| 15:10 | With vs are both the gray headed, and very aged men, much elder then thy father. | |
| 15:11 | Are the consolations of God small with thee? is there any secret thing with thee? | |
| 15:12 | Why doeth thine heart carie thee away? and what doe thine eyes winke at, | |
| 15:13 | That thou turnest thy spirit against God, and lettest such words goe out of thy mouth? | |
| 15:14 | What is man, that he should be cleane? and he which is borne of a woman, that he should be righteous? | |
| 15:15 | Beholde, he putteth no trust in his Saints, yea, the heauens are not cleane in his sight. | |
| 15:16 | How much more abominable and filthie is man, which drinketh iniquitie like water? | |
| 15:17 | I will shew thee, heare me, and that which I haue seene, I wil declare, | |
| 15:18 | Which wise men haue tolde from their fathers, and haue not hid it: | |
| 15:19 | Unto whom alone the earth was giuen, and no stranger passed among them. | |
| 15:20 | The wicked man trauaileth with paine all his dayes, and the number of yeeres is hidden to the oppressour. | |
| 15:21 | A dreadfull sound is in his eares; in prosperitie the destroyer shall come vpon him. |
|
| 15:22 | He beleeueth not that he shall returne out of darkenesse, and he is waited for, of the sword. | |
| 15:23 | He wandereth abroad for bread, saying, Where is it? he knoweth that the day of darkenes is ready at his hand. | |
| 15:24 | Trouble and anguish shall make him afraid; they shall preuaile against him, as a king ready to the battell. | |
| 15:25 | For he stretcheth out his hand against God, and strengtheneth himselfe against the Almightie. | |
| 15:26 | He runneth vpon him, euen on his necke, vpon the thicke bosses of his bucklers: | |
| 15:27 | Because he couereth his face with his fatnesse, and maketh collops of fat on his flankes. | |
| 15:28 | And he dwelleth in desolate cities, and in houses which no man inhabiteth, which are ready to become heapes. | |
| 15:29 | He shall not be rich, neither shall his substance continue, neither shall he prolong the perfection thereof vpon the earth. | |
| 15:30 | He shall not depart out of darkenesse, the flame shall drie vp his branches, and by the breath of his mouth shall he goe away. | |
| 15:31 | Let not him that is deceiued, trust in vanitie: for vanitie shalbe his recompence. | |
| 15:32 | It shall be accomplished before his time, and his branch shall not bee greene. |
|
| 15:33 | He shal shake off his vnripe grape as the Uine, and shall cast off his flowre as the Oliue. | |
| 15:34 | For the congregation of hypocrites shall be desolate, and fire shall consume the tabernacles of briberie. | |
| 15:35 | They conceiue mischiefe, and bring forth vanitie, and their belly prepareth deceit. |
