Then answeredH6030 EliphazH464 the TemaniteH8489, and saidH559,
Should a wise manH2450 utterH6030 vainH7307 knowledgeH1847, and fillH4390 his bellyH990 with the east windH6921? {vain…: Heb. knowledge of wind}
Should he reasonH3198 with unprofitableH5532 talkH1697? or with speechesH4405 wherewith he can do no goodH3276?
Yea, thou castest offH6565 fearH3374, and restrainestH1639 prayerH7881 beforeH6440 GodH410. {castest…: Heb. makest void} {prayer: or, speech}
For thy mouthH6310 utterethH502 thine iniquityH5771, and thou choosestH977 the tongueH3956 of the craftyH6175. {uttereth: Heb. teacheth}
Thine own mouthH6310 condemnethH7561 thee, and not I: yea, thine own lipsH8193 testifyH6030 against thee.
Art thou the firstH7223+H7223 manH120 that was bornH3205? or wast thou madeH2342 beforeH6440 the hillsH1389?
Hast thou heardH8085 the secretH5475 of GodH433? and dost thou restrainH1639 wisdomH2451 to thyself?
What knowestH3045 thou, that we knowH3045 not? what understandestH995 thou, which is not in us?
With us are both the grayheadedH7867 and very agedH3453 men, muchH3524 elderH3117 than thy fatherH1.
Are the consolationsH8575 of GodH410 smallH4592 with thee? is there any secretH328 thingH1697 with thee?
Why doth thine heartH3820 carry thee awayH3947? and what do thy eyesH5869 wink atH7335,
That thou turnestH7725 thy spiritH7307 against GodH410, and lettest such wordsH4405 go outH3318 of thy mouthH6310?
What is manH582, that he should be cleanH2135? and he which is bornH3205 of a womanH802, that he should be righteousH6663?
Behold, he putteth no trustH539 in his saintsH6918; yea, the heavensH8064 are not cleanH2141 in his sightH5869.
How much more abominableH8581 and filthyH444 is manH376, which drinkethH8354 iniquityH5766+H5766 like waterH4325?
I will shewH2331 thee, hearH8085 me; and that which I have seenH2372 I will declareH5608;
Which wiseH2450 men have toldH5046 from their fathersH1, and have not hidH3582 it:
Unto whom alone the earthH776 was givenH5414, and no strangerH2114 passedH5674 amongH8432 them.
The wickedH7563 man travailethH2342 with pain all his daysH3117, and the numberH4557 of yearsH8141 is hiddenH6845 to the oppressorH6184.
A dreadfulH6343 soundH6963 is in his earsH241: in prosperityH7965 the destroyerH7703 shall comeH935 upon him. {A dreadful…: Heb. A sound of fears}
He believethH539 not that he shall returnH7725 out of darknessH2822, and he is waitedH6822 for of the swordH2719.
He wandereth abroadH5074 for breadH3899, saying, Where is it? he knowethH3045 that the dayH3117 of darknessH2822 is readyH3559 at his handH3027.
TroubleH6862 and anguishH4691 shall make him afraidH1204; they shall prevailH8630 against him, as a kingH4428 readyH6264 to the battleH3593.
For he stretcheth outH5186 his handH3027 against GodH410, and strengthenethH1396 himself against the AlmightyH7706.
He runnethH7323 upon him, even on his neckH6677, upon the thickH5672 bossesH1354 of his bucklersH4043:
Because he coverethH3680 his faceH6440 with his fatnessH2459, and makethH6213 collops of fatH6371 on his flanksH3689.
And he dwellethH7931 in desolateH3582 citiesH5892, and in housesH1004 which no man inhabitethH3427, which are readyH6257 to become heapsH1530.
He shall not be richH6238, neither shall his substanceH2428 continueH6965, neither shall he prolongH5186 the perfectionH4512 thereof upon the earthH776.
He shall not departH5493 out of darknessH2822; the flameH7957 shall dry upH3001 his branchesH3127, and by the breathH7307 of his mouthH6310 shall he go awayH5493.
Let not him that is deceivedH8582 trustH539 in vanityH7723: for vanityH7723 shall be his recompenceH8545.
It shall be accomplishedH4390 beforeH3808 his timeH3117, and his branchH3712 shall not be greenH7488. {accomplished: or, cut off}
He shall shake offH2554 his unripe grapeH1154 as the vineH1612, and shall cast offH7993 his flowerH5328 as the oliveH2132.
For the congregationH5712 of hypocritesH2611 shall be desolateH1565, and fireH784 shall consumeH398 the tabernaclesH168 of briberyH7810.
They conceiveH2029 mischiefH5999, and bring forthH3205 vanityH205, and their bellyH990 preparethH3559 deceitH4820. {vanity: or, iniquity}

I would seekH199+H1875 unto GodH410, and unto GodH430 would I commitH7760 my causeH1700:
Which doethH6213 great thingsH1419 and unsearchableH369+H2714; marvellous thingsH6381 without numberH4557: {unsearchable: Heb. there is no search} {without…: Heb. till there be no number}
Who givethH5414 rainH4306 uponH6440 the earthH776, and sendethH7971 watersH4325 uponH6440 the fieldsH2351: {fields: Heb. outplaces}
To set upH7760 on highH4791 those that be lowH8217; that those which mournH6937 may be exaltedH7682 to safetyH3468.
He disappointethH6565 the devicesH4284 of the craftyH6175, so that their handsH3027 cannot performH6213 their enterpriseH8454. {their enterprise: or, any thing}
He takethH3920 the wiseH2450 in their own craftinessH6193: and the counselH6098 of the frowardH6617 is carried headlongH4116.
They meetH6298 with darknessH2822 in the daytimeH3119, and gropeH4959 in the noondayH6672 as in the nightH3915. {meet…: or, run into}
But he savethH3467 the poorH34 from the swordH2719, from their mouthH6310, and from the handH3027 of the mightyH2389.
So the poorH1800 hath hopeH8615, and iniquityH5766 stoppethH7092 her mouthH6310.
Behold, happyH835 is the manH582 whom GodH433 correctethH3198: therefore despiseH3988 not thou the chasteningH4148 of the AlmightyH7706:
For he maketh soreH3510, and bindeth upH2280: he woundethH4272, and his handsH3027 make wholeH7495.
He shall deliverH5337 thee in sixH8337 troublesH6869: yea, in sevenH7651 there shall no evilH7451 touchH5060 thee.
In famineH7458 he shall redeemH6299 thee from deathH4194: and in warH4421 from the powerH3027 of the swordH2719. {power: Heb. hands}
Thou shalt be hidH2244 from the scourgeH7752 of the tongueH3956: neither shalt thou be afraidH3372 of destructionH7701 when it comethH935. {from…: or, when the tongue scourgeth}
At destructionH7701 and famineH3720 thou shalt laughH7832: neither shalt thou be afraidH3372 of the beastsH2416 of the earthH776.
For thou shalt be in leagueH1285 with the stonesH68 of the fieldH7704: and the beastsH2416 of the fieldH7704 shall be at peaceH7999 with thee.
And thou shalt knowH3045 that thy tabernacleH168 shall be in peaceH7965; and thou shalt visitH6485 thy habitationH5116, and shalt not sinH2398. {thy tabernacle…: or, peace is thy tabernacle} {sin: or, err}
Thou shalt knowH3045 also that thy seedH2233 shall be greatH7227, and thine offspringH6631 as the grassH6212 of the earthH776. {great: or, much}
Thou shalt comeH935 to thy graveH6913 in a full ageH3624, like as a shock of cornH1430 cometh inH5927 in his seasonH6256. {cometh in: Heb. ascendeth}
Hast thou heardH8085 the secretH5475 of GodH433? and dost thou restrainH1639 wisdomH2451 to thyself?
If thou prepareH3559 thine heartH3820, and stretchH6566 out thine handsH3709 toward him;
If iniquityH205 be in thine handH3027, put it far awayH7368, and let not wickednessH5766 dwellH7931 in thy tabernaclesH168.
For then shalt thou lift upH5375 thy faceH6440 without spotH3971; yea, thou shalt be stedfastH3332, and shalt not fearH3372:
Because thou shalt forgetH7911 thy miseryH5999, and rememberH2142 it as watersH4325 that pass awayH5674:
And thine ageH2465 shall be clearerH6965 than the noondayH6672; thou shalt shine forthH5774, thou shalt be as the morningH1242. {be clearer…: Heb. shall arise above the noon-day}
And thou shalt be secureH982, because there isH3426 hopeH8615; yea, thou shalt digH2658 about thee, and thou shalt take thy restH7901 in safetyH983.
Also thou shalt lie downH7257, and none shall make thee afraidH2729; yea, manyH7227 shall make suitH2470 unto theeH6440. {make suit…: Heb. intreat thy face}
BlessedG2128 be GodG2316, evenG2532 the FatherG3962 of ourG2257 LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, the FatherG3962 of merciesG3628, andG2532 the GodG2316 of allG3956 comfortG3874;
WhoG3588 comfortethG3870 usG2248 inG1909 allG3956 ourG2257 tribulationG2347, thatG1519 weG2248 may be ableG1410 to comfortG3870 them which are inG1722 anyG3956 troubleG2347, byG1223 the comfortG3874 wherewithG3739 weG3870 ourselvesG846 are comfortedG3870 ofG5259 GodG2316.
ForG3754 asG2531 the sufferingsG3804 of ChristG5547 aboundG4052 inG1519 usG2248, soG3779 ourG2257 consolationG3874 alsoG2532 aboundethG4052 byG1223 ChristG5547.
