Bible. Job
18:014:014 If a man die, shall he live again? all the days of my
appointed time will I wait, till my change come.
18:014:015 Thou shalt call, and I will answer thee: thou wilt have a
desire to the work of thine hands.
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.
