fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData And Eliphaz the Temanite answereth and saith: -- |
| 2 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData Doth a wise man answer `with' vain knowledge? And fill `with' an east wind his belly? |
| 3 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData To reason with a word not useful? And speeches -- no profit in them? |
| 4 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData Yea, thou dost make reverence void, And dost diminish meditation before God. |
| 5 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData For thy mouth teacheth thine iniquity, And thou chooseth the tongue of the subtile. |
| 6 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData Thy mouth declareth thee wicked, and not I, And thy lips testify against thee. |
| 7 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData The first man art thou born? And before the heights wast thou formed? |
| 8 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData Of the secret counsel of God dost thou hear? And withdrawest thou unto thee wisdom? |
| 9 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData What hast thou known, and we know not? Understandest thou -- and it is not with us? |
| 10 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData Both the gray-headed And the very aged `are' among us -- Greater than thy father `in' days. |
| 11 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData Too few for thee are the comforts of God? And a gentle word `is' with thee, |
| 12 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData What -- doth thine heart take thee away? And what -- are thine eyes high? |
| 13 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData For thou turnest against God thy spirit? And hast brought out words from thy mouth: |
| 14 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData What `is' man that he is pure, And that he is righteous, one born of woman? |
| 15 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData Lo, in His holy ones He putteth no credence, And the heavens have not been pure in His eyes. |
| 16 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData Also -- surely abominable and filthy Is man drinking as water perverseness. |
| 17 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData I shew thee -- hearken to me -- And this I have seen and declare: |
| 18 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData Which the wise declare -- And have not hid -- from their fathers. |
| 19 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData To them alone was the land given, And a stranger passed not over into their midst: |
| 20 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData `All days of the wicked he is paining himself, And few years have been laid up for the terrible one. |
| 21 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData A fearful voice `is' in his ears, In peace doth a destroyer come to him. |
| 22 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData He believeth not to return from darkness, And watched `is' he for the sword. |
| 23 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData He is wandering for bread -- `Where `is' it?' He hath known that ready at his hand Is a day of darkness. |
| 24 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData Terrify him do adversity and distress, They prevail over him As a king ready for a boaster. |
| 25 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData For he stretched out against God his hand, And against the Mighty he maketh himself mighty. |
| 26 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData He runneth unto Him with a neck, With thick bosses of his shields. |
| 27 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData For he hath covered his face with his fat, And maketh vigour over `his' confidence. |
| 28 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData And he inhabiteth cities cut off, houses not dwelt in, That have been ready to become heaps. |
| 29 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData He is not rich, nor doth his wealth rise, Nor doth he stretch out on earth their continuance. |
| 30 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData He turneth not aside from darkness, His tender branch doth a flame dry up, And he turneth aside at the breath of His mouth! |
| 31 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData Let him not put credence in vanity, He hath been deceived, For vanity is his recompence. |
| 32 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData Not in his day is it completed, And his bending branch is not green. |
| 33 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData He shaketh off as a vine his unripe fruit, And casteth off as an olive his blossom. |
| 34 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData For the company of the profane `is' gloomy, And fire hath consumed tents of bribery. |
| 35 |
fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData fjrigjwwe9r2Younhs_EN_Bible:TextData To conceive misery, and to bear iniquity, Even their heart doth prepare deceit. |
