THEN answered Eliphaz the Temanite, and said,</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013675">2</a>. Should a wise man utter vain knowledge, and fill his belly with the east wind?</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013676">3</a>. Should he reason with unprofitable talk?  or with speeches wherewith he can do no good?</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013677">4</a>. Yea, thou castest off fear, and restrainest prayer before God.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013678">5</a>. For thy mouth uttereth thine iniquity, and thou choosest the tongue of the crafty.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013679">6</a>. Thine own mouth condemneth thee, and not I: yea, thine own lips testify against thee.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013680">7</a>. Art thou the first man that was born?  or wast thou made before the hills?</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013681">8</a>. Hast thou heard the secret of God?  and dost thou restrain wisdom to thyself?</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013682">9</a>. What knowest thou, that we know not?  what understandest thou, which is not in us?</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013683">10</a>. With us are both the grayheaded and very aged men, much elder than thy father.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013684">11</a>. Are the consolations of God small with thee?  is there any secret thing with thee?</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013685">12</a>. Why doth thine heart carry thee away?  and what do thy eyes wink at,</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013686">13</a>. That thou turnest thy spirit against God, and lettest such words go out of thy mouth?</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013687">14</a>. What is man, that he should be clean?  and he which is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013688">15</a>. Behold, he putteth no trust in his saints; yea, the heavens are not clean in his sight.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013689">16</a>. How much more abominable and filthy is man, which drinketh iniquity like water?</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013690">17</a>. I will shew thee, hear me; and that which I have seen I will declare;</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013691">18</a>. Which wise men have told from their fathers, and have not hid it:</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013692">19</a>. Unto whom alone the earth was given, and no stranger passed among them.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013693">20</a>. The wicked man travaileth with pain all his days, and the number of years is hidden to the oppressor.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013694">21</a>. A dreadful sound is in his ears: in prosperity the destroyer shall come upon him.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013695">22</a>. He believeth not that he shall return out of darkness, and he is waited for of the sword.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013696">23</a>. He wandereth abroad for bread, saying, Where is it?  he knoweth that the day of darkness is ready at his hand.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013697">24</a>. Trouble and anguish shall make him afraid; they shall prevail against him, as a king ready to the battle.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013698">25</a>. For he stretcheth out his hand against God, and strengtheneth himself against the Almighty.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013699">26</a>. He runneth upon him, even on his neck, upon the thick bosses of his bucklers:</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013700">27</a>. Because he covereth his face with his fatness, and maketh collops of fat on his flanks.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013701">28</a>. And he dwelleth in desolate cities, and in houses which no man inhabiteth, which are ready to become heaps.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013702">29</a>. He shall not be rich, neither shall his substance continue, neither shall he prolong the perfection thereof upon the earth.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013703">30</a>. He shall not depart out of darkness; the flame shall dry up his branches, and by the breath of his mouth shall he go away.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013704">31</a>. Let not him that is deceived trust in vanity: for vanity shall be his recompence.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013705">32</a>. It shall be accomplished before his time, and his branch shall not be green.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013706">33</a>. He shall shake off his unripe grape as the vine, and shall cast off his flower as the olive.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013707">34</a>. For the congregation of hypocrites shall be desolate, and fire shall consume the tabernacles of bribery.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1013708">35</a>. They conceive mischief, and bring forth vanity, and their belly prepareth deceit.</li>
