1 # Then answered <06030> (8799) Eliphaz <0464> the Temanite <08489>, and said <0559> (8799),
2 Should a wise man <02450> utter <06030> (8799) vain <07307> knowledge <01847>, and fill <04390> (8762) his belly <0990> with the east wind <06921>?
3 Should he reason <03198> (8687) with unprofitable <05532> (8799) talk <01697>? or with speeches <04405> wherewith he can do no good <03276> (8686)?
4 Yea, thou castest off <06565> (8686) fear <03374>, and restrainest <01639> (8799) prayer <07881> before <06440> God <0410>.
5 For thy mouth <06310> uttereth <0502> (8762) thine iniquity <05771>, and thou choosest <0977> (8799) the tongue <03956> of the crafty <06175>.
6 Thine own mouth <06310> condemneth <07561> (8686) thee, and not I: yea, thine own lips <08193> testify <06030> (8799) against thee.
7 Art thou the first <07223> (8675) <07223> man <0120> that was born <03205> (8735) ? or wast thou made <02342> (8797) before <06440> the hills <01389>?
8 Hast thou heard <08085> (8799) the secret <05475> of God <0433>? and dost thou restrain <01639> (8799) wisdom <02451> to thyself?
9 What knowest <03045> (8804) thou, that we know <03045> (8799) not? what understandest <0995> (8799) thou, which is not in us?
10 With us are both the grayheaded <07867> (8802) and very aged <03453> men, much <03524> elder <03117> than thy father <01>.
11 Are the consolations <08575> of God <0410> small <04592> with thee? is there any secret <0328> thing <01697> with thee?
12 Why doth thine heart <03820> carry thee away <03947> (8799)? and what do thy eyes <05869> wink at <07335> (8799),
13 That thou turnest <07725> (8686) thy spirit <07307> against God <0410>, and lettest such words <04405> go out <03318> (8689) of thy mouth <06310>?
14 What is man <0582>, that he should be clean <02135> (8799)? and he which is born <03205> (8803) of a woman <0802>, that he should be righteous <06663> (8799)?
15 Behold, he putteth no trust <0539> (8686) in his saints <06918>; yea, the heavens <08064> are not clean <02141> (8804) in his sight <05869>.
16 How much more abominable <08581> (8737) and filthy <0444> (8737) is man <0376>, which drinketh <08354> (8802) iniquity <05766> (8675) <05766> like water <04325>?
17 # I will shew <02331> (8762) thee, hear <08085> (8798) me; and that which I have seen <02372> (8804) I will declare <05608> (8762);
18 Which wise <02450> men have told <05046> (8686) from their fathers <01>, and have not hid <03582> (8765) it:
19 Unto whom alone the earth <0776> was given <05414> (8738), and no stranger <02114> (8801) passed <05674> (8804) among <08432> them.
20 The wicked <07563> man travaileth <02342> (8711) with pain all his days <03117>, and the number <04557> of years <08141> is hidden <06845> (8738) to the oppressor <06184>.
21 A dreadful <06343> sound <06963> is in his ears <0241>: in prosperity <07965> the destroyer <07703> (8802) shall come <0935> (8799) upon him.
22 He believeth <0539> (8686) not that he shall return <07725> (8800) out of darkness <02822>, and he is waited <06822> (8803) for of the sword <02719>.
23 He wandereth abroad <05074> (8802) for bread <03899>, saying, Where is it? he knoweth <03045> (8804) that the day <03117> of darkness <02822> is ready <03559> (8737) at his hand <03027>.
24 Trouble <06862> and anguish <04691> shall make him afraid <01204> (8762); they shall prevail <08630> (8799) against him, as a king <04428> ready <06264> to the battle <03593>.
25 For he stretcheth out <05186> (8804) his hand <03027> against God <0410>, and strengtheneth <01396> (8691) himself against the Almighty <07706>.
26 He runneth <07323> (8799) upon him, even on his neck <06677>, upon the thick <05672> bosses <01354> of his bucklers <04043>:
27 Because he covereth <03680> (8765) his face <06440> with his fatness <02459>, and maketh <06213> (8799) collops of fat <06371> on his flanks <03689>.
28 And he dwelleth <07931> (8799) in desolate <03582> (8737) cities <05892>, and in houses <01004> which no man inhabiteth <03427> (8799), which are ready <06257> (8694) to become heaps <01530>.
29 He shall not be rich <06238> (8799), neither shall his substance <02428> continue <06965> (8799), neither shall he prolong <05186> (8799) the perfection <04512> thereof upon the earth <0776>.
30 He shall not depart <05493> (8799) out of darkness <02822>; the flame <07957> shall dry up <03001> (8762) his branches <03127>, and by the breath <07307> of his mouth <06310> shall he go away <05493> (8799).
31 Let not him that is deceived <08582> (8738) trust <0539> (8686) in vanity <07723>: for vanity <07723> shall be his recompence <08545>.
32 It shall be accomplished <04390> (8735) before <03808> his time <03117>, and his branch <03712> shall not be green <07488>.
33 He shall shake off <02554> (8799) his unripe grape <01154> as the vine <01612>, and shall cast off <07993> (8686) his flower <05328> as the olive <02132>.
34 For the congregation <05712> of hypocrites <02611> shall be desolate <01565>, and fire <0784> shall consume <0398> (8804) the tabernacles <0168> of bribery <07810>.
35 They conceive <02029> (8800) mischief <05999>, and bring forth <03205> (8800) vanity <0205>, and their belly <0990> prepareth <03559> (8686) deceit <04820>.
