JOB
[XXII
- And where are the dwelling places of the wicked?
- Have ye not asked them that go by the way?
- And do ye not know their tokens,
- That the wicked is reserved to the day of destruction?
- They shall be brought forth to the day of wrath.
- Who shall declare his way to his face?
- And who shall repay him what he hath done?
- Yet shall he be brought to the grave,
- And shall remain in the tomb.
- The clods of the valley shall be sweet unto him,
- And every man shall draw after him,
- As there are innumerable before him.
- How then comfort ye me in vain,
- Seeing in your answers there remaineth falsehood?
Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said.
- Can a man be profitable unto God,
- As he that is wise may be profitable unto himself?
- Is it any pleasure to the Almighty, that thou art righteous?
- Or is it gain to him, that thou makest thy ways perfect?
- Will he reprove thee for fear of thee?
- Will he enter with thee into judgment?
- Is not thy wickedness great?
- And thine iniquities infinite?
