| 1 Then answered | 
| 2 Should a wise | 
| 3 Should he reason | 
| 4 Yes, | 
| 5 For your mouth | 
| 6 Your own mouth | 
| 7 Are you the first | 
| 8 Have you heard | 
| 9 What | 
| 10 With us are both | 
| 11 Are the consolations | 
| 12 Why | 
| 13 That you turn | 
| 14 What | 
| 15 Behold, | 
| 16 How | 
| 17 I will show | 
| 18 Which | 
| 19 To whom | 
| 20 The wicked | 
| 21 A dreadful | 
| 22 He believes | 
| 23 He wanders | 
| 24 Trouble | 
| 25 For he stretches | 
| 26 He runs | 
| 27 Because | 
| 28 And he dwells | 
| 29 He shall not be rich, | 
| 30 He shall not depart | 
| 31 Let not him that is deceived | 
| 32 It shall be accomplished | 
| 33 He shall shake | 
| 34 For the congregation |

| JobChapter 15 | 
| 1 THEN answered Eliphaz the Temanite, and said, | 
| 2 Should a spiritually minded man answer with knowledge and then become enraged? | 
| 3 Should he admonish with unprofitable talk, or with words that are worthless? | 
| 4 Yea, you also are discarding reverence, and talk too much in the presence of God. | 
| 5 For your mouth is accustomed to utter sinful things, and you choose the deceitful tongue of the crafty. | 
| 6 Your own mouth condemns you, and not I; yea, your own lips testify against you in my presence. | 
| 7 Are you the first man that was born? Or were you conceived before the hills? | 
| 8 Have you heard of the secrets of God? Has his wisdom been revealed to you? | 
| 9 Or what do you know that we do not know? Or what do you under, stand that we do not understand? | 
| 10 Behold, there are among us the gray-headed and the very aged men, much older in days than your father. | 
| 11 Now talk less of God's threats, and speak comfortingly to yourself. | 
| 12 Why does your heart boast? And what do your eyes wink at, | 
| 13 That you boast in the presence of God, and let such words go out of your mouth? | 
| 14 What is man, that he should be innocent? Or he that is born of a woman, that he should be righteous? | 
| 15 Behold, he puts no trust in his saints; yea, the heavens are not clean in his sight. | 
| 16 Even though man should be rejected and afflicted, yet he shall drink iniquity like water. | 
| 17 Hear me, I will show you; and that which I have seen I will repeat; | 
| 18 That which wise men have declared, and did not hide from their fathers; | 
| 19 To whom alone the land was given, and no stranger passed among them. | 
| 20 The wicked man magnifies himself all his days, and the number of the years of the violent man is hidden. | 
| 21 A dreadful sound is in his ears; in prosperity the spoiler shall come upon him. | 
| 22 He does not believe that he shall be overthrown because of the darkness, and that he shall see the sword. | 
| 23 He flees because of the threat of judgment; he does not know that the day of darkness is already at his hand, | 
| 24 Trouble and anguish shall overtake him, like a king ready for the battle, | 
| 25 Because he has stretched out his hand against God, and strengthened himself against the Almighty. | 
| 26 He runs against him proudly, and strangles him, with the multitudes of his shields; | 
| 27 Because he has deceived himself with his wealth, and he places Pleiades above Aldebaran. | 
| 28 And he dwells in desolate cities, which no man has inhabited; then he prepares for war. | 
| 29 He shall not continue, neither shall his strength endure, nor shall his words be established upon the earth. | 
| 30 He shall not depart out of darkness; the flame shall dry up his branches, and by the breath of his mouth shall he be rejected. | 
| 31 Let him not trust in deceptive vanity, for his growth is in vain. | 
| 32 He shall dry up before his time, and the work of his hands shall not be found. | 
| 33 He shall shake off his unripe grapes, as the vine, and shall cast off his flowers as the olive tree. | 
| 34 For the congregation of the godless shall be desolate, and fire shall consume the tabernacle of the wicked. | 
| 35 They conceive mischief and bring forth deceit, and their belly is full of guile. |
