Job 15
15:1And undertaking, Eliphaz the Temanite says,
15:2Is it that a wise man will give an answer of an understanding spirit, and filled up the misery of the womb,
15:3reproving in sayings with words in which must not be spoken, in which no one benefits?
15:4And did you not undo fear, and complete such sayings before the lord?
15:5You are liable by the sayings of your mouth, of which you litigated sayings of mighty ones.
15:6May your mouth reprove you, and not I. And your lips, may they bear witness against you.
15:7For what, are you the first man born? or were you banked up before the hills?
15:8have you heard the arranged order of the lord? and unto you wisdom arrived?
15:9For what do you know, which we do not know? or what do you perceive, which we do not also?
15:10And indeed an elder, and indeed an old one is among us, more weighty than your father, in days.
15:11You have been whipped but little for your sins, but greatly above measure have you spoken.
15:12What did your heart dare? or what have your eyes added to see,
15:13that your rage tore before the lord, and such sayings led forth from out of your mouth?
15:14For who, being a mortal, still will be blameless? or who is born of a woman as being just?
15:15forasmuch as he trusts not the holy ones, and the heaven is not pure before him.
15:16Alas then, man is abhorrent and unclean, drinking iniquity equal to a beverage.
15:17But I will report to you, hear me! What indeed I have seen, I will report to you --
15:18what the wise men shall say, and what was not hidden from their fathers.
15:19To them alone the earth was given, and no foreigner came upon them.
15:20All the existence of the impious is spent in bewilderment; and the years being given to the mighty one are counted,
15:21and his fear is in his ears. Whenever the impious should seem already at peace, his undoing shall come.
15:22Let him not trust to return from darkness, for he has been given charge already unto the hands of iron.
15:23And he has been delegated for the grain of vultures, and he knows in himself that he waits for being a corpse; and a dark day shall whirl him away.
15:24And distress and affliction shall hold him down. His falling down is as a commandant of the front rank.
15:25For he has lifted hands against the lord, and before the almighty he stiffened his neck.
15:26And he ran against his insolence with the thickness of the back of his shield.
15:27For he covered his face with his fat, and made a cleft upon the thighs.
15:28And may he be lodged in desolate cities, and enter uninhabited houses; and what these prepared, others shall carry away.
15:29Nor shall he be enriched, nor shall his possessions remain; in no way shall he cast a shadow upon the earth.
15:30Neither shall he flee from the darkness; may wind wither his bud, and may his flower fall off.
15:31Let him not trust that he will remain behind, for emptiness shall result to him.
15:32His pruning shall be corrupted before its season, and his tender branch in no way shall become dense.
15:33And may he be gathered as an unripe grape before its season; and may he fall off as the flower of the olive.
15:34For death is the testimony of an impious man, and fire shall burn the houses of the ones taking bribes.
15:35And he shall conceive griefs in the womb, and there shall result unto him emptiness, and his belly shall endure deceit.
