Job Capítulo 15

15 : 1 Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered, and said,

15 : 2 Should a wise man make answer with vain knowledge, and fill himself with the east wind?

15 : 3 Should he reason with unprofitable talk, or with speeches with which he can do no good?

15 : 4 Yea, thou do away with fear, and hinder devotion before God.

15 : 5 For thine iniquity teaches thy mouth. And thou choose the tongue of the crafty.

15 : 6 Thine own mouth condemns thee, and not I. Yes, thine own lips testify against thee.

15 : 7 Are thou the first man who was born? Or were thou brought forth before the hills?

15 : 8 Have thou heard the secret counsel of God? And do thou limit wisdom to thyself?

15 : 9 What do thou know, that we do not know? What do thou understand, which is not in us?

15 : 10 With us are both the gray-headed and the very aged men, much older than thy father.

15 : 11 Are the consolations of God too small for thee, even the word that is gentle toward thee?

15 : 12 Why does thy heart carry thee away? And why do thine eyes flash,

15 : 13 that against God thou turn thy spirit, and let words go out of thy mouth?

15 : 14 What is man, that he should be clean? And he who is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?

15 : 15 Behold, he puts no trust in his holy ones. Yea, the heavens are not clean in his sight.

15 : 16 How much less one who is abominable and corrupt, a man who drinks iniquity like water!

15 : 17 I will show thee. Hear thou me, and that which I have seen I will declare,

15 : 18 which wise men have told from their fathers, and have not hid it,

15 : 19 to whom alone the land was given, and no stranger passed among them:

15 : 20 The wicked man travails with pain all his days, even the number of years that are laid up for the oppressor.

15 : 21 A sound of terrors is in his ears. In prosperity the destroyer shall come upon him.

15 : 22 He does not believe that he shall return out of darkness. And he is awaited by the sword.

15 : 23 He wanders abroad for bread, saying, Where is it? He knows that the day of darkness is ready at his hand.

15 : 24 Distress and anguish make him afraid. They prevail against him as a king ready to the battle.

15 : 25 Because he has stretched out his hand against God, and behaves himself proudly against the Almighty.

15 : 26 He runs upon him with a stiff neck, with the thick studs of his bucklers,

15 : 27 because he has covered his face with his fatness, and gathered fat upon his loins.

15 : 28 And he has dwelt in desolate cities, in houses which no man inhabited, which were ready to become heaps.

15 : 29 He shall not be rich, neither shall his substance continue, neither shall their possessions be extended on the earth.

15 : 30 He shall not depart out of darkness. The flame shall dry up his branches, and by the breath of God's mouth he shall go away.

15 : 31 Let him not trust in vanity, deceiving himself. For vanity shall be his recompense.

15 : 32 It shall be accomplished before his time, and his branch shall not be green.

15 : 33 He shall shake off his unripe grape as the vine, and shall cast off his flower as the olive tree.

15 : 34 For the company of the hypocrites shall be barren, and fire shall consume the tents of bribery.

15 : 35 They conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity, and their heart prepares deceit.
