Job 15

1
Then Eliphaz the Temanite replied:
2
"Would a wise man answer with empty notions or fill his belly with the hot east wind?
3
Would he argue with useless words, with speeches that have no value?
4
But you even undermine piety and hinder devotion to God.
5
Your sin prompts your mouth; you adopt the tongue of the crafty.
6
Your own mouth condemns you, not mine; your own lips testify against you.
7
"Are you the first man ever born? Were you brought forth before the hills?
8
Do you listen in on God's council? Do you limit wisdom to yourself?
9
What do you know that we do not know? What insights do you have that we do not have?
10
The gray-haired and the aged are on our side, men even older than your father.
11
Are God's consolations not enough for you, words spoken gently to you?
12
Why has your heart carried you away, and why do your eyes flash,
13
so that you vent your rage against God and pour out such words from your mouth?
14
"What is man, that he could be pure, or one born of woman, that he could be righteous?
15
If God places no trust in his holy ones, if even the heavens are not pure in his eyes,
16
how much less man, who is vile and corrupt, who drinks up evil like water!
17
"Listen to me and I will explain to you; let me tell you what I have seen,
18
what wise men have declared, hiding nothing received from their fathers
19
(to whom alone the land was given when no alien passed among them):
20
All his days the wicked man suffers torment, the ruthless through all the years stored up for him.
21
Terrifying sounds fill his ears; when all seems well, marauders attack him.
22
He despairs of escaping the darkness; he is marked for the sword.
23
He wanders about--food for vultures ; he knows the day of darkness is at hand.
24
Distress and anguish fill him with terror; they overwhelm him, like a king poised to attack,
25
because he shakes his fist at God and vaunts himself against the Almighty,
26
defiantly charging against him with a thick, strong shield.
27
"Though his face is covered with fat and his waist bulges with flesh,
28
he will inhabit ruined towns and houses where no one lives, houses crumbling to rubble.
29
He will no longer be rich and his wealth will not endure, nor will his possessions spread over the land.
30
He will not escape the darkness; a flame will wither his shoots, and the breath of God's mouth will carry him away.
31
Let him not deceive himself by trusting what is worthless, for he will get nothing in return.
32
Before his time he will be paid in full, and his branches will not flourish.
33
He will be like a vine stripped of its unripe grapes, like an olive tree shedding its blossoms.
34
For the company of the godless will be barren, and fire will consume the tents of those who love bribes.
35
They conceive trouble and give birth to evil; their womb fashions deceit."


Job 16

1
Then Job replied:
2
"I have heard many things like these; miserable comforters are you all!
3
Will your long-winded speeches never end? What ails you that you keep on arguing?
4
I also could speak like you, if you were in my place; I could make fine speeches against you and shake my head at you.
5
But my mouth would encourage you; comfort from my lips would bring you relief.
6
"Yet if I speak, my pain is not relieved; and if I refrain, it does not go away.
7
Surely, O God, you have worn me out; you have devastated my entire household.
8
You have bound me--and it has become a witness; my gauntness rises up and testifies against me.
9
God assails me and tears me in his anger and gnashes his teeth at me; my opponent fastens on me his piercing eyes.
10
Men open their mouths to jeer at me; they strike my cheek in scorn and unite together against me.
11
God has turned me over to evil men and thrown me into the clutches of the wicked.
12
All was well with me, but he shattered me; he seized me by the neck and crushed me. He has made me his target;
13
his archers surround me. Without pity, he pierces my kidneys and spills my gall on the ground.
14
Again and again he bursts upon me; he rushes at me like a warrior.
15
"I have sewed sackcloth over my skin and buried my brow in the dust.
16
My face is red with weeping, deep shadows ring my eyes;
17
yet my hands have been free of violence and my prayer is pure.
18
"O earth, do not cover my blood; may my cry never be laid to rest!
19
Even now my witness is in heaven; my advocate is on high.
20
My intercessor is my friend as my eyes pour out tears to God;
21
on behalf of a man he pleads with God as a man pleads for his friend.
22
"Only a few years will pass before I go on the journey of no return.
