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}

Is it goodH2895 unto thee that thou shouldest oppressH6231, that thou shouldest despiseH3988 the workH3018 of thine handsH3709, and shineH3313 upon the counselH6098 of the wickedH7563? {work: Heb. labour}
He is wiseH2450 in heartH3824, and mightyH533 in strengthH3581: who hath hardenedH7185 himself against him, and hath prosperedH7999?
The tabernaclesH168 of robbersH7703 prosperH7951, and they that provokeH7264 GodH410 are secureH987; into whose handH3027 GodH433 bringethH935 abundantly.
BecauseG1360 the carnalG4561 mindG5427 is enmityG2189 againstG1519 GodG2316: forG1063 it isG5293 notG3756 subjectG5293 to the lawG3551 of GodG2316, neitherG3761 indeedG1063 can beG1410. {the carnal…: Gr. the minding of the flesh}
Your wordsH1697 have been stoutH2388 against me, saithH559 the LORDH3068. Yet ye sayH559, What have we spokenH1696 so much against thee?
If any manG1536 amongG1722 youG5213 seemG1380 to beG1511 religiousG2357, and bridlethG5468 notG3361 hisG846 tongueG1100, butG235 deceivethG538 his ownG846 heartG2588, this man'sG5127 religionG2356 is vainG3152.
ForG1063 in many thingsG4183 we offendG4417 allG537. If any manG1536 offendG4417 notG3756 inG1722 wordG3056, the sameG3778 is a perfectG5046 manG435, and ableG1415 alsoG2532 to bridleG5468 the wholeG3650 bodyG4983.
BeholdG2400, we putG906 bitsG5469 inG1519 the horses'G2462 mouthsG4750, thatG4314 theyG846 may obeyG3982 usG2254; andG2532 we turn aboutG3329 theirG846 wholeG3650 bodyG4983.
BeholdG2400 alsoG2532 the shipsG4143, which though they beG5607 so greatG5082, andG2532 are drivenG1643 ofG5259 fierceG4642 windsG417, yet are they turned aboutG3329 withG5259 a very smallG1646 helmG4079, whithersoeverG3699+G302 the governorG2116 listethG3730+G1014.
EvenG2532 soG3779 the tongueG1100 isG2076 a littleG3398 memberG3196, andG2532 boasteth great thingsG3166. BeholdG2400, how greatG2245 a matterG5208 a littleG3641 fireG4442 kindlethG381! {a matter: or, wood}
AndG2532 the tongueG1100 is a fireG4442, a worldG2889 of iniquityG93: soG3779 isG2525 the tongueG1100 amongG1722 ourG2257 membersG3196, that it defilethG4695 the wholeG3650 bodyG4983, andG2532 setteth on fireG5394 the courseG5164 of natureG1078; andG2532 it is set on fireG5394 ofG5259 hellG1067. {course: Gr. wheel}
