015:005 For your iniquity teaches your mouth, and you choose the language of the crafty. 015:006 Your own mouth condemns you, and not I. Yes, your own lips testify against you. 015:007 "Are you the first man who was born? Or were you brought forth before the hills? 015:008 Have you heard the secret counsel of God? Do you limit wisdom to yourself? 015:009 What do you know, that we don't know? What do you understand, which is not in us? 015:010 With us are both the gray-headed and the very aged men, much elder than your father. 015:011 Are the consolations of God too small for you, even the word that is gentle toward you? 015:012 Why does your heart carry you away? Why do your eyes flash, 015:013 That you turn your spirit against God, and let such words go out of your mouth? 015:014 What is man, that he should be clean? What is he who is born of a woman, that he should be righteous? 015:015 Behold, he puts no trust in his holy ones. Yes, the heavens are not clean in his sight; 015:016 how much less one who is abominable and corrupt, a man who drinks iniquity like water! 015:017 "I will show you, listen to me; that which I have seen I will declare: 015:018 (Which wise men have told by their fathers, and have not hidden it; 015:019 to whom alone the land was given, and no stranger passed among them): 015:020 the wicked man writhes in pain all his days, even the number of years that are laid up for the oppressor. 015:021 A sound of terrors is in his ears. In prosperity the destroyer shall come on him. 015:022 He doesn't believe that he shall return out of darkness. He is waited for by the sword. 015:023 He wanders abroad for bread, saying, 'Where is it?' He knows that the day of darkness is ready at his hand. 015:024 Distress and anguish make him afraid. They prevail against him, as a king ready to the battle. 015:025 Because he has stretched out his hand against God, and behaves himself proudly against the Almighty; 015:026 he runs at him with a stiff neck, with the thick shields of his bucklers; 015:027 because he has covered his face with his fatness, and gathered fat on his thighs. 015:028 He has lived in desolate cities, in houses which no one inhabited, which were ready to become heaps. 015:029 He shall not be rich, neither shall his substance continue, neither shall their possessions be extended on the earth. 015:030 He shall not depart out of darkness. The flame shall dry up his branches. By the breath of God's mouth shall he go away. 015:031 Let him not trust in emptiness, deceiving himself; for emptiness shall be his reward. 015:032 It shall be accomplished before his time. His branch shall not be green. 015:033 He shall shake off his unripe grape as the vine, and shall cast off his flower as the olive tree.
