Job 15

Geneva 1599Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite, and saide,

Geneva 1599Shal a wise man speake words of ye winde, and fill his bellie with the East winde?

Geneva 1599Shall he dispute with wordes not comely? or with talke that is not profitable?

Geneva 1599Surely thou hast cast off feare, and restrainest prayer before God.

Geneva 1599For thy mouth declareth thine iniquitie, seeing thou hast chosen ye tongue of the crafty.

Geneva 1599Thine owne mouth condemneth thee, and not I, and thy lippes testifie against thee.

Geneva 1599Art thou the first man, that was borne? and wast thou made before the hils?

Geneva 1599Hast thou heard the secret counsell of God, and doest thou restraine wisedome to thee?

Geneva 1599What knowest thou that we knowe not? and vnderstandest that is not in vs?

Geneva 1599With vs are both auncient and very aged men, farre older then thy father.

Geneva 1599Seeme the consolations of God small vnto thee? is this thing strange vnto thee?

Geneva 1599Why doeth thine heart take thee away, and what doe thine eyes meane,

Geneva 1599That thou answerest to God at thy pleasure, and bringest such wordes out of thy mouth?

Geneva 1599What is man, that he should be cleane? and he that is borne of woman, that he shoulde be iust?

Geneva 1599Beholde, he founde no stedfastnesse in his Saintes: yea, the heauens are not cleane in his sight.

Geneva 1599How much more is man abominable, and filthie, which drinketh iniquitie like water?

Geneva 1599I will tell thee: heare me, and I will declare that which I haue seene:

Geneva 1599Which wise men haue tolde, as they haue heard of their fathers, and haue not kept it secret:

Geneva 1599To whome alone the land was giuen and no stranger passed through them.

Geneva 1599The wicked man is continually as one that traueileth of childe, and the nomber of yeeres is hid from the tyrant.

Geneva 1599A sounde of feare is in his eares, and in his prosperitie the destroyer shall come vpon him.

Geneva 1599He beleeueth not to returne out of darknesse: for he seeth the sworde before him.

Geneva 1599He wandreth to and from for bread where he may: he knoweth that the day of darkenesse is prepared at hande.

Geneva 1599Affliction and anguish shall make him afraide: they shall preuaile against him as a King readie to the battell.

Geneva 1599For he hath stretched out his hand against GOD, and made him selfe strong against the Almightie.

Geneva 1599Therefore God shall runne vpon him, euen vpon his necke, and against the most thicke part of his shielde.

Geneva 1599Because he hath couered his face with his fatnesse, and hath colloppes in his flancke.

Geneva 1599Though he dwell in desolate cities, and in houses which no man inhabiteth, but are become heapes,

Geneva 1599He shall not be rich, neither shall his substance continue, neither shall he prolong the perfection thereof in the earth.

Geneva 1599He shall neuer depart out of darkenesse: the flame shall drie vp his branches, and he shall goe away with the breath of his mouth.

Geneva 1599He beleeueth not that he erreth in vanitie: therefore vanitie shalbe his change.

Geneva 1599His branch shall not be greene, but shall be cut off before his day.

Geneva 1599God shall destroy him as the vine her sower grape, and shall cast him off, as the oliue doeth her flowre.

Geneva 1599For the congregation of the hypocrite shalbe desolate, and fire shall deuoure the houses of bribes.

Geneva 1599For they conceiue mischiefe and bring foorth vanitie, and their bellie hath prepared deceite.
