Bible Chapter


¹Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite, and said,
²Should a wise man utter vain knowledge, and fill his belly with the east wind
³Should he reason with unprofitable talk or with speeches wherewith he can do no good
⁴Yea, thou castest off fear, and restrainest prayer before God.
⁵For thy mouth uttereth thine iniquity, and thou choosest the tongue of the crafty.
⁶Thine own mouth condemneth thee, and not I: yea, thine own lips testify against thee.
⁷Art thou the first man that was born or wast thou made before the hills
⁸Hast thou heard the secret of God and dost thou restrain wisdom to thyself
⁹What knowest thou, that we know not what understandest thou, which is not in us
¹⁰With us are both the grayheaded and very aged men, much elder than thy father.
¹¹Are the consolations of God small with thee is there any secret thing with thee
¹²Why doth thine heart carry thee away and what do thy eyes wink at,
¹³That thou turnest thy spirit against God, and lettest such words go out of thy mouth
¹⁴What is man, that he should be clean and he which is born of a woman, that he should be righteous
¹⁵Behold, he putteth no trust in his saints; yea, the heavens are not clean in his sight.
¹⁶How much more abominable and filthy is man, which drinketh iniquity like water
¹⁷I will show thee, hear me; and that which I have seen I will declare;
¹⁸Which wise men have told from their fathers, and have not hid it
¹⁹Unto whom alone the earth was given, and no stranger passed among them.
²⁰The wicked man travaileth with pain all his days, and the number of years is hidden to the oppressor.
²¹A dreadful sound is in his ears: in prosperity the destroyer shall come upon him.
²²He believeth not that he shall return out of darkness, and he is waited for of the sword.
²³He wandereth abroad for bread, saying, Where is it he knoweth that the day of darkness is ready at his hand.
²⁴Trouble and anguish shall make him afraid; they shall prevail against him, as a king ready to the battle.
²⁵For he stretcheth out his hand against God, and strengtheneth himself against the Almighty.
²⁶He runneth upon him, even on his neck, upon the thick bosses of his bucklers
²⁷Because he covereth his face with his fatness, and maketh collops of fat on his flanks.
²⁸And he dwelleth in desolate cities, and in houses which no man inhabiteth, which are ready to become heaps.
²⁹He shall not be rich, neither shall his substance continue, neither shall he prolong the perfection thereof upon the earth.
³⁰He shall not depart out of darkness; the flame shall dry up his branches, and by the breath of his mouth shall he go away.
³¹Let not him that is deceived trust in vanity: for vanity shall be his recompense.
³²It shall be accomplished before his time, and his branch shall not be green.
³³He shall shake off his unripe grape as the vine, and shall cast off his flower as the olive.
³⁴For the congregation of hypocrites shall be desolate, and fire shall consume the tabernacles of bribery.
³⁵They conceive mischief, and bring forth vanity, and their belly prepareth deceit.
