Read Bible Book Of Job Chapter 15 In Online
1 - Then Eliphaz The Temanite Replied:
2 - "Would A Wise Man Answer With Empty Notions Or Fill His Belly With The Hot East Wind?
3 - Would He Argue With Useless Words, With Speeches That Have No Value?
4 - But You Even Undermine Piety And Hinder Devotion To God.
5 - Your Sin Prompts Your Mouth; You Adopt The Tongue Of The Crafty.
6 - Your Own Mouth Condemns You, Not Mine; Your Own Lips Testify Against You.
7 - "Are You The First Man Ever Born? Were You Brought Forth Before The Hills?
8 - Do You Listen In On God's Council? Do You Limit Wisdom To Yourself?
9 - What Do You Know That We Do Not Know? What Insights Do You Have That We Do Not Have?
10 - The Gray-haired And The Aged Are On Our Side, Men Even Older Than Your Father.
11 - Are God's Consolations Not Enough For You, Words Spoken Gently To You?
12 - Why Has Your Heart Carried You Away, And Why Do Your Eyes Flash,
13 - So That You Vent Your Rage Against God And Pour Out Such Words From Your Mouth?
14 - "What Is Man, That He Could Be Pure, Or One Born Of Woman, That He Could Be Righteous?
15 - If God Places No Trust In His Holy Ones, If Even The Heavens Are Not Pure In His Eyes,
16 - How Much Less Man, Who Is Vile And Corrupt, Who Drinks Up Evil Like Water!
17 - "Listen To Me And I Will Explain To You; Let Me Tell You What I Have Seen,
18 - What Wise Men Have Declared, Hiding Nothing Received From Their Fathers
19 - (To Whom Alone The Land Was Given When No Alien Passed Among Them):
20 - All His Days The Wicked Man Suffers Torment, The Ruthless Through All The Years Stored Up For Him.
21 - Terrifying Sounds Fill His Ears; When All Seems Well, Marauders Attack Him.
22 - He Despairs Of Escaping The Darkness; He Is Marked For The Sword.
23 - He Wanders About-food For Vultures ; He Knows The Day Of Darkness Is At Hand.
24 - Distress And Anguish Fill Him With Terror; They Overwhelm Him, Like A King Poised To Attack,
25 - Because He Shakes His Fist At God And Vaunts Himself Against The Almighty,
26 - Defiantly Charging Against Him With A Thick, Strong Shield.
27 - "Though His Face Is Covered With Fat And His Waist Bulges With Flesh,
28 - He Will Inhabit Ruined Towns And Houses Where No One Lives, Houses Crumbling To Rubble.
29 - He Will No Longer Be Rich And His Wealth Will Not Endure, Nor Will His Possessions Spread Over The Land.
30 - He Will Not Escape The Darkness; A Flame Will Wither His Shoots, And The Breath Of God's Mouth Will Carry Him Away.
31 - Let Him Not Deceive Himself By Trusting What Is Worthless, For He Will Get Nothing In Return.
32 - Before His Time He Will Be Paid In Full, And His Branches Will Not Flourish.
33 - He Will Be Like A Vine Stripped Of Its Unripe Grapes, Like An Olive Tree Shedding Its Blossoms.
34 - For The Company Of The Godless Will Be Barren, And Fire Will Consume The Tents Of Those Who Love Bribes.
35 - They Conceive Trouble And Give Birth To Evil; Their Womb Fashions Deceit."
