1 Then answered 6030 Eliphaz 464 the Temanite 8489, and said 559,
2 Should a wise man 2450 utter 6030 vain 7307 knowledge 1847, and fill 4390 his belly 990 with the east wind 6921?
3 Should he reason 3198 with unprofitable 5532 talk 1697? or with speeches 4405 wherewith he can do no good 3276?
4 Yea, thou castest off 6565 fear 3374, and restrainest 1639 prayer 7881 before 6440 God 410.
5 For thy mouth 6310 uttereth 502 thine iniquity 5771, and thou choosest 977 the tongue 3956 of the crafty 6175.
6 Thine own mouth 6310 condemneth 7561 thee, and not I: yea, thine own lips 8193 testify 6030 against thee.
7 Art thou the first 7223 7223 man 120 that was born 3205? or wast thou made 2342 before 6440 the hills 1389?
8 Hast thou heard 8085 the secret 5475 of God 433? and dost thou restrain 1639 wisdom 2451 to thyself?
9 What knowest 3045 thou, that we know 3045 not? what understandest 995 thou, which is not in us?
10 With us are both the grayheaded 7867 and very aged 3453 men, much 3524 elder 3117 than thy father 1.
11 Are the consolations 8575 of God 410 small 4592 with thee? is there any secret 328 thing 1697 with thee?
12 Why doth thine heart 3820 carry thee away 3947? and what do thy eyes 5869 wink at 7335,
13 That thou turnest 7725 thy spirit 7307 against God 410, and lettest such words 4405 go out 3318 of thy mouth 6310?
14 What is man 582, that he should be clean 2135? and he which is born 3205 of a woman 802, that he should be righteous 6663?
15 Behold, he putteth no trust 539 in his saints 6918; yea, the heavens 8064 are not clean 2141 in his sight 5869.
16 How much more abominable 8581 and filthy 444 is man 376, which drinketh 8354 iniquity 5766 5766 like water 4325?
17 I will shew 2331 thee, hear 8085 me; and that which I have seen 2372 I will declare 5608;
18 Which wise 2450 men have told 5046 from their fathers 1, and have not hid 3582 it:
19 Unto whom alone the earth 776 was given 5414, and no stranger 2114 passed 5674 among 8432 them.
20 The wicked 7563 man travaileth 2342 with pain all his days 3117, and the number 4557 of years 8141 is hidden 6845 to the oppressor 6184.
21 A dreadful 6343 sound 6963 is in his ears 241: in prosperity 7965 the destroyer 7703 shall come 935 upon him.
22 He believeth 539 not that he shall return 7725 out of darkness 2822, and he is waited 6822 for of the sword 2719.
23 He wandereth abroad 5074 for bread 3899, saying, Where is it? he knoweth 3045 that the day 3117 of darkness 2822 is ready 3559 at his hand 3027.
24 Trouble 6862 and anguish 4691 shall make him afraid 1204; they shall prevail 8630 against him, as a king 4428 ready 6264 to the battle 3593.
25 For he stretcheth out 5186 his hand 3027 against God 410, and strengtheneth 1396 himself against the Almighty 7706.
26 He runneth 7323 upon him, even on his neck 6677, upon the thick 5672 bosses 1354 of his bucklers 4043:
27 Because he covereth 3680 his face 6440 with his fatness 2459, and maketh 6213 collops of fat 6371 on his flanks 3689.
28 And he dwelleth 7931 in desolate 3582 cities 5892, and in houses 1004 which no man inhabiteth 3427, which are ready 6257 to become heaps 1530.
29 He shall not be rich 6238, neither shall his substance 2428 continue 6965, neither shall he prolong 5186 the perfection 4512 thereof upon the earth 776.
30 He shall not depart 5493 out of darkness 2822; the flame 7957 shall dry up 3001 his branches 3127, and by the breath 7307 of his mouth 6310 shall he go away 5493.
31 Let not him that is deceived 8582 trust 539 in vanity 7723: for vanity 7723 shall be his recompence 8545.
32 It shall be accomplished 4390 before 3808 his time 3117, and his branch 3712 shall not be green 7488.
33 He shall shake off 2554 his unripe grape 1154 as the vine 1612, and shall cast off 7993 his flower 5328 as the olive 2132.
34 For the congregation 5712 of hypocrites 2611 shall be desolate 1565, and fire 784 shall consume 398 the tabernacles 168 of bribery 7810.
35 They conceive 2029 mischief 5999, and bring forth 3205 vanity 205, and their belly 990 prepareth 3559 deceit 4820.
