15:1And Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said, Compare
15:2Should a wise man answer with the knowledge of wind, / And should he fill his belly with the east wind? Compare
15:3Should he argue with useless talk / And with words by which he cannot avail? Compare
15:4Indeed you do away with the fear of God / And restrain meditation before God. Compare
15:5For your iniquity instructs your mouth, / And you choose the tongue of the crafty. Compare
15:6Your own mouth condemns you, and not I; / And your own lips testify against you. Compare
15:7Are you the first man born? / Or were you brought forth before the hills? Compare
15:8Did you listen in on the secret council of God? / And do you limit wisdom to yourself? Compare
15:9What do you know that we do not know? / What do you understand that is not with us? Compare
15:10Both the grayheaded and the aged are among us, / Older than your father. Compare
15:11Are the consolations of God too small for you, / Or the word spoken gently to you? Compare
15:12Why does your heart take you away? / And why do your eyes flash, Compare
15:13That you turn your spirit against God / And let words go forth from your mouth? Compare
15:14What is mortal man, that he can be clean, / Or he who is born of a woman, that he can be righteous? Compare
15:15Indeed, He puts no trust in His holy ones; / Even the heavens are not clean in His eyes. Compare
15:16How much less one who is abominable and corrupt! / How much less a man who drinks wrong like water! Compare
15:17I will tell you; hear me; / And what I have seen, that will I recount, Compare
15:18What wise men have declared, / And have not hidden, from their fathers; Compare
15:19To whom alone the land was given, / And no stranger passed in their midst: Compare
15:20For all his days the wicked man travails in pain, / And numbered years are stored up for the ruthless man. Compare
15:21The sound of terrors is in his ears; / While he is at peace, the destroyer will come upon him. Compare
15:22He does not believe that he will return from the darkness, / And he is spied out for the sword. Compare
15:23He wanders for bread-where is it? / He knows that the day of darkness is ready at hand. Compare
15:24Distress and straits terrify him; / They prevail against him, like a king prepared for the attack; Compare
15:25Because he stretched out his hand against God, / And against the Almighty he acted mightily, Compare
15:26Running against Him with a stiff neck, / With the thick bosses of his shield; Compare
15:27Because he covered his face with his fatness / And gathered fat upon his loins; Compare
15:28And he dwelt in desolated cities, / In houses which should not have been inhabited, / Which were appointed to become heaps. Compare
15:29He will not be rich, and his wealth will not endure; / Nor will his produce bend down to the earth. Compare
15:30He will not go away from darkness; / The flame will dry up his shoots, / And by the breath of His mouth he will go away. Compare
15:31Let him not trust in vanity, deceiving himself; / For vanity will be his recompense. Compare
15:32It will be fully paid before his day, / And his branch will not be flourishing. Compare
15:33He will shake off his unripe grapes like a vine, / And he will cast off his blossom like an olive tree. Compare
15:34For the company of the profane will be barren, / And fire will devour the tents of bribery. Compare
15:35They conceive mischief and bring forth iniquity, / And their heart prepares deceit. Compare
