Job 15
Reading Job chapter 15 in the Webster's Bible, public-domain text from 1833.
Verses 1–10
1 Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite, and said,
2 Should a wise men utter vain knowledge, and fill his belly with the east wind?
3 Should he reason with unprofitable talk? or with speeches with which he can do no good?
4 Yes, thou castest off fear, and restrainest prayer before God.
5 For thy mouth uttereth thy iniquity, and thou choosest the tongue of the crafty.
6 Thy own mouth condemneth thee, and not I: yes, thy own lips testify against thee.
7 [Art] thou the first man [that] was born? or wast thou made before the hills?
8 Hast thou heard the secret of God? and dost thou restrain wisdom to thyself?
9 What knowest thou that we know not? [what] understandest thou, which [is] not in us?
10 With us [are] both the gray headed and very aged men, much older than thy father.
