Job 15

¹Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite, and saide,

²Shal a wise man speake words of ye winde, and fill his bellie with the East winde?

³Shall he dispute with wordes not comely? or with talke that is not profitable?

⁴Surely thou hast cast off feare, and restrainest prayer before God.

⁵For thy mouth declareth thine iniquitie, seeing thou hast chosen ye tongue of the crafty.

⁶Thine owne mouth condemneth thee, and not I, and thy lippes testifie against thee.

⁷Art thou the first man, that was borne? and wast thou made before the hils?

⁸Hast thou heard the secret counsell of God, and doest thou restraine wisedome to thee?

⁹What knowest thou that we knowe not? and vnderstandest that is not in vs?

¹⁰With vs are both auncient and very aged men, farre older then thy father.

¹¹Seeme the consolations of God small vnto thee? is this thing strange vnto thee?

¹²Why doeth thine heart take thee away, and what doe thine eyes meane,

¹³That thou answerest to God at thy pleasure, and bringest such wordes out of thy mouth?

¹⁴What is man, that he should be cleane? and he that is borne of woman, that he shoulde be iust?

¹⁵Beholde, he founde no stedfastnesse in his Saintes: yea, the heauens are not cleane in his sight.
