And fill himself with the east wind?

Or with speeches wherewith he can do no good?

And hinderest devotion before God.

And thou choosest the tongue of the crafty.

Yea, thine own lips testify against thee.

Or wast thou brought forth before the hills?

And dost thou limit wisdom to thyself?

What understandest thou, which is not in us?

Much elder than thy father.

Even the word that is gentle toward thee?

And why do thine eyes flash,

And lettest words go out of thy mouth?

And he that is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?

Yea, the heavens are not clean in his sight:

A man that drinketh iniquity like water!

And that which I have seen I will declare

From their fathers, and have not hid it;

And no stranger passed among them):

Even the number of years that are laid up for the oppressor.

In prosperity the destroyer shall come upon him.

And he is waited for of the sword.

He knoweth that the day of darkness is ready at his hand.

They prevail against him, as a king ready to the battle.

And behaveth himself proudly against the Almighty;

With the thick bosses of his bucklers;

And gathered fat upon his loins;

In houses which no man inhabited,

Which were ready to become heaps;

Neither shall their possessions be extended on the earth.

The flame shall dry up his branches,

And by the breath of God’s mouth shall he go away.

For vanity shall be his recompense.

And his branch shall not be green.

And shall cast off his flower as the olive-tree.

And fire shall consume the tents of bribery.

And their heart prepareth deceit.
