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}

How much lessH637 in them that dwellH7931 in housesH1004 of clayH2563, whose foundationH3247 is in the dustH6083, which are crushedH1792 beforeH6440 the mothH6211?

To the chief MusicianH5329, A Psalm of DavidH1732. The foolH5036 hath saidH559 in his heartH3820, There is no GodH430. They are corruptH7843, they have done abominableH8581 worksH5949, there is none that doethH6213 goodH2896.
The LORDH3068 looked downH8259 from heavenH8064 upon the childrenH1121 of menH120, to seeH7200 if thereH3426 were any that did understandH7919, and seekH1875 GodH430.
They are all gone asideH5493, they are all togetherH3162 become filthyH444: there is none that doethH6213 goodH2896, no, not oneH259. {filthy: Heb. stinking}
An ungodlyH1100 witnessH5707 scornethH3887 judgmentH4941: and the mouthH6310 of the wickedH7563 devourethH1104 iniquityH205. {An…: Heb. A witness of Belial}
Every one of them is gone backH5472: they are altogetherH3162 become filthyH444; there is none that doethH6213 goodH2896, no, not oneH259.
AndG2532 even asG2531 they didG1381 notG3756 likeG1381 to retainG2192 GodG2316 inG1722 their knowledgeG1922, GodG2316 gaveG3860 themG846 overG3860 toG1519 a reprobateG96 mindG3563, to doG4160 those things which areG2520 notG3361 convenientG2520; {to retain: or, to acknowledge} {a reprobate…: or, a mind void of judgment or, an unapproving mind}

WhatG5101 thenG3767? are we betterG4284 than they? NoG3756, in no wiseG3843: forG1063 we have before provedG4256 bothG5037 JewsG2453 andG2532 GentilesG1672, that they areG1511 allG3956 underG5259 sinG266; {proved: Gr. charged}
AsG2531 it is writtenG1125+G3754, There isG2076 noneG3756 righteousG1342, no, notG3761 oneG1520:
There isG2076 noneG3756 that understandethG4920, there isG2076 noneG3756 that seeketh afterG1567 GodG2316.
They areG1578 allG3956 gone out of the wayG1578, they areG889 togetherG260 become unprofitableG889; there isG2076 noneG3756 that doethG4160 goodG5544, no, notG3756 oneG2076+G2193+G1520.
TheirG846 throatG2995 is an openG455 sepulchreG5028; with theirG846 tonguesG1100 they have used deceitG1387; the poisonG2447 of aspsG785 is underG5259 theirG846 lipsG5491:
WhoseG3739 mouthG4750 is fullG1073 of cursingG685 andG2532 bitternessG4088:
TheirG846 feetG4228 are swiftG3691 to shedG1632 bloodG129:
DestructionG4938 andG2532 miseryG5004 are inG1722 theirG846 waysG3598:
AndG2532 the wayG3598 of peaceG1515 haveG1097 they notG3756 knownG1097:
There isG2076 noG3756 fearG5401 of GodG2316 beforeG561 theirG846 eyesG3788.
NowG1161 we knowG1492 thatG3754 what things soeverG3745 the lawG3551 saithG3004, it saithG2980 to them who are underG1722 the lawG3551: thatG2443 everyG3956 mouthG4750 may be stoppedG5420, andG2532 allG3956 the worldG2889 may becomeG1096 guiltyG5267 before GodG2316. {guilty…: or, subject to the judgment of God}
