18:014:016 For now thou numberest my steps: dost
thou not watch over my
sin?
18:014:017 My transgression is sealed up in a bag,
and thou sewest up
mine
iniquity.
18:014:018 And surely the mountains falling cometh
to nought, and the
rock
is removed out of his place.
18:014:019 The waters wear the stones: thou washest
away the things which
grow
out of the dust of the earth; and thou destroyest the
hope
of man.
18:014:020 Thou prevailest for ever against him, and
he passeth: thou
changest
his countenance, and sendest him away.
18:014:021 His sons come to honour, and he knoweth
it not; and they are
brought
low, but he perceiveth it not of them.
18:014:022 But his flesh upon him shall have pain,
and his soul within
him
shall mourn.
18:015:001 Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite, and said,
18:015:002 Should a wise man utter vain knowledge,
and fill his belly
with
the east wind?
18:015:003 Should he reason with unprofitable talk?
or with speeches
wherewith
he can do no good?
18:015:004 Yea, thou castest off fear, and restrainest prayer before God.
18:015:005 For thy mouth uttereth thine iniquity,
and thou choosest the
tongue
of the crafty.
18:015:006 Thine own mouth condemneth thee, and not
I: yea, thine own
lips
testify against thee.
18:015:007 Art thou the first man that was born? or
wast thou made before
the
hills?
18:015:008 Hast thou heard the secret of God? and
dost thou restrain
wisdom
to thyself?
18:015:009 What knowest thou, that we know not? what
understandest thou,
which
is not in us?
18:015:010 With us are both the grayheaded and very
aged men, much elder
than
thy father.
18:015:011 Are the consolations of God small with
thee? is there any
secret
thing with thee?
18:015:012 Why doth thine heart carry thee away? and
what do thy eyes
wink
at,
18:015:013 That thou turnest thy spirit against God,
and lettest such
words
go out of thy mouth?
18:015:014 What is man, that he should be clean? and
he which is born of
a
woman, that he should be righteous?
18:015:015 Behold, he putteth no trust in his saints;
yea, the heavens
are
not clean in his sight.
18:015:016 How much more abominable and filthy is
man, which drinketh
iniquity
like water?
18:015:017 I will shew thee, hear me; and that which
I have seen I will
declare;
18:015:018 Which wise men have told from their fathers,
and have not hid
it:
18:015:019 Unto whom alone the earth was given, and
no stranger passed
among
them.
