1Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered, 2"Should a wise man answer with vain knowledge, 3Should he reason with unprofitable talk, 4Yes, you do away with fear, 5For your iniquity teaches your mouth, 6Your own mouth condemns you, and not I. 7"Are you the first man who was born? 8Have you heard the secret counsel of God? 9What do you know, that we do not know? 10With us are both the gray-headed and the very aged men, 11Are the consolations of God too small for you, 12Why does your heart carry you away? 13That you turn your spirit against God, 14What is man, that he should be clean? 15Behold, he puts no trust in his holy ones. 16how much less one who is abominable and corrupt, 17"I will show you, listen to me; 18(Which wise men have told by their fathers, 19to whom alone the land was given, 20the wicked man writhes in pain all his days, 21A sound of terrors is in his ears. 22He doesn't believe that he shall return out of darkness. 23He wanders abroad for bread, saying, 'Where is it?' 24Distress and anguish make him afraid. 25Because he has stretched out his hand against God, 26he runs at him with a stiff neck, 27because he has covered his face with his fatness, 28He has lived in desolate cities, 29He shall not be rich, neither shall his substance continue, 30He shall not depart out of darkness. 31Let him not trust in emptiness, deceiving himself; 32It shall be accomplished before his time. 33He shall shake off his unripe grape as the vine, 34For the company of the godless shall be barren, 35They conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity.
