Job 15:17-35

17I will shew thee, hearH8085 thou me; and that whichH2088 I have seenH2372 I will declareH5608: 18(WhichH834 wiseH2450 menH2450 have toldH5046 from their fathersH1, and have notH3808 hidH3582 it; 19Unto whom aloneH905 the landH776 was givenH5414, and noH3808 stranger passedH5674 among them:) 20The wickedH7563 manH7563 travaileth with pain allH3605 his daysH3117, even the numberH4557 of yearsH8141 that are laid upH6845 for the oppressor. 21A soundH6963 of terrorsH6343 is in his earsH241; in prosperityH7965 the spoiler shall comeH935 uponH935 him: 22He believeth notH3808 that he shall returnH7725 outH4480 of darknessH2822, and he is waited for of the swordH2719: 23He wandereth abroad for breadH3899, saying, Where is it? he knoweth that the dayH3117 of darknessH2822 is readyH3559 at his handH3027: 24DistressH6862 and anguishH4691 make him afraid; they prevail against him, as a kingH4428 readyH6264 to the battle: 25BecauseH3588 he hath stretchedH5186 outH5186 his handH3027 againstH413 GodH410, and behaveth himselfH3027 proudly againstH413 the AlmightyH7706; 26He runneth uponH413 him with a stiff neckH6677, with the thickH5672 bosses of his bucklers: 27BecauseH3588 he hath coveredH3680 his faceH6440 with his fatnessH2459, and madeH6213 collops of fatH2459 on his flanks; 28And he hath dweltH3427 in desolateH3582 citiesH5892, in housesH1004 whichH834 noH3808 man inhabitedH3427, whichH834 were readyH6257 to become heapsH1530. 29He shall notH3808 be richH6238, neitherH3808 shall his substanceH2428 continueH6965, neitherH3808 shall their produce bendH5186 to the earthH776. 30He shall notH3808 departH5493 outH4480 of darknessH2822; the flameH7957 shall dryH3001 upH3001 his branches, and by the breathH7307 of his mouthH6310 shall he goH5493 awayH5493. 31LetH408 him notH408 trustH539 in vanityH7723, deceivingH8582 himself: for vanityH7723 shall be his recompence. 32It shall be accomplishedH4390 beforeH3808 his time, and his branchH3712 shall notH3808 be greenH7488. 33He shall shake offH7993 his unripe grape as the vineH1612, and shall castH7993 offH7993 his flowerH5328 as the oliveH2132. 34For the companyH5712 of the godlessH2611 shall be barrenH1565, and fireH784 shall consumeH398 the tentsH168 of briberyH7810. 35They conceiveH2029 mischiefH5999, and bringH3205 forthH3205 iniquityH205, and their bellyH990 prepareth deceitH4820.
