Job 15:8-27
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 15
8
Do you hear the secret discussion of God,
And limit wisdom to yourself?
9
What do you know that we do not know?
What
do you understand that we do not?
10
Both the gray-haired and the aged are among us,
Older than your father.
11
Are the consolations of God too little for you,
Or the word
spoken
gently to you?
12
Why does your heart take you away?
And why do your eyes wink,
13
That you can turn your spirit against God
And produce
such
words from your mouth?
14
What is man, that he would be pure,
Or he who is born of a woman, that he would be righteous?
15
Behold, He has no trust in His holy ones,
And the heavens are not pure in His sight;
16
How much less one who is detestable and corrupt:
A person who drinks malice like water!
17
'I will tell you, listen to me;
And what I have seen I will also declare;
18
What wise people have told,
And have not concealed from their fathers,
19
To whom alone the land was given,
And no stranger passed among them.
20
The wicked person writhes in pain all
his
days,
And the years reserved for the ruthless are numbered.
21
Sounds of terror are in his ears;
While he is
at peace the destroyer comes upon him.
22
He does not believe that he will return from darkness,
And he is destined for the sword.
23
He wanders about for food,
saying,
‘Where
is it?
’
He knows that a day of darkness is at hand.
24
Distress and anguish terrify him,
They overpower him like a king ready for the attack,
25
Because he has reached out with his hand against God,
And is arrogant toward the Almighty.
26
He rushes headlong at Him
With his massive shield.
27
For he has covered his face with his fat,
And put fat on his waist.
King James Version
Chapter 15
8
Hast thou heard the secret of God? and dost thou restrain wisdom to thyself?
9
What knowest thou, that we know not? what understandest thou, which is not in us?
10
With us are both the grayheaded and very aged men, much elder than thy father.
11
Are the consolations of God small with thee? is there any secret thing with thee?
12
Why doth thine heart carry thee away? and what do thy eyes wink at,
13
That thou turnest thy spirit against God, and lettest such words go out of thy mouth?
14
What is man, that he should be clean? and he which is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?
15
Behold, he putteth no trust in his saints; yea, the heavens are not clean in his sight.
16
How much more abominable and filthy is man, which drinketh iniquity like water?
17
I will shew thee, hear me; and that which I have seen I will declare;
18
Which wise men have told from their fathers, and have not hid it:
19
Unto whom alone the earth was given, and no stranger passed among them.
20
The wicked man travaileth with pain all his days, and the number of years is hidden to the oppressor.
21
A dreadful sound is in his ears: in prosperity the destroyer shall come upon him.
22
He believeth not that he shall return out of darkness, and he is waited for of the sword.
23
He wandereth abroad for bread, saying, Where is it? he knoweth that the day of darkness is ready at his hand.
24
Trouble and anguish shall make him afraid; they shall prevail against him, as a king ready to the battle.
25
For he stretcheth out his hand against God, and strengtheneth himself against the Almighty.
26
He runneth upon him, even on his neck, upon the thick bosses of his bucklers:
27
Because he covereth his face with his fatness, and maketh collops of fat on his flanks.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 15
8
Do you listen in on the council of God,
or have a monopoly on wisdom?
9
What do you know that we don’t?
What do you understand that is not clear to us?
10
Both the gray-haired and the elderly are with us—
older than your father.
11
Are God’s consolations not enough for you,
even the words that deal gently with you?
12
Why has your heart misled you,
and why do your eyes flash
13
as you turn your anger against God
and allow such words to leave your mouth?
14
What is a mere human, that he should be pure,
or one born of a woman, that he should be righteous?
15
If God puts no trust in his holy ones
and the heavens are not pure in his sight,
16
how much less one who is revolting and corrupt,
who drinks injustice like water?
17
Listen to me and I will inform you.
I will describe what I have seen,
18
what the wise have declared and not concealed,
that came from their ancestors,
19
to whom alone the land was given
when no foreigner passed among them.
20
A wicked person writhes in pain all his days,
throughout the number of years reserved for the ruthless.
21
Dreadful sounds fill his ears;
when he is at peace, a robber attacks him.
22
He doesn’t believe he will return from darkness;
he is destined for the sword.
23
He wanders about for food, asking, "Where is it?"
He knows the day of darkness is at hand.
24
Trouble and distress terrify him,
overwhelming him like a king prepared for battle.
25
For he has stretched out his hand against God
and has arrogantly opposed the Almighty.
26
He rushes headlong at him
with his thick, studded shields.
27
Though his face is covered with fat
and his waistline bulges with it,
New Living Translation
Chapter 15
8
Were you listening at God’s secret council?
Do you have a monopoly on wisdom?
9
What do you know that we don’t?
What do you understand that we do not?
10
On our side are aged, gray-haired men
much older than your father!
11
'Is God’s comfort too little for you?
Is his gentle word not enough?
12
What has taken away your reason?
What has weakened your vision,
13
that you turn against God
and say all these evil things?
14
Can any mortal be pure?
Can anyone born of a woman be just?
15
Look, God does not even trust the angels.
Even the heavens are not absolutely pure in his sight.
16
How much less pure is a corrupt and sinful person
with a thirst for wickedness!
17
'If you will listen, I will show you.
I will answer you from my own experience.
18
And it is confirmed by the reports of wise men
who have heard the same thing from their fathers —
19
from those to whom the land was given
long before any foreigners arrived.
20
'The wicked writhe in pain throughout their lives.
Years of trouble are stored up for the ruthless.
21
The sound of terror rings in their ears,
and even on good days they fear the attack of the destroyer.
22
They dare not go out into the darkness
for fear they will be murdered.
23
They wander around, saying, ‘Where can I find bread?’
They know their day of destruction is near.
24
That dark day terrifies them.
They live in distress and anguish,
like a king preparing for battle.
25
For they shake their fists at God,
defying the Almighty.
26
Holding their strong shields,
they defiantly charge against him.
27
'These wicked people are heavy and prosperous;
their waists bulge with fat.

He does not believe that he will return out of darkness,
and he is marked for the sword.
23
He wanders abroad for bread, saying, ‘Where is it?’
He knows that a day of darkness is ready at his hand;
24
distress and anguish terrify him;
they prevail against him, like a king ready for battle.
25
Because he has stretched out his hand against God
and defies the Almighty,
26
running stubbornly against him
with a thickly bossed shield;
27
because he has covered his face with his fat
and gathered fat upon his waist

Do you listen in on God’s council?
Do you have a monopoly on wisdom?
9
What do you know that we do not know?
What insights do you have that we do not have?
10
The gray-haired and the aged are on our side,
men even older than your father.
11
Are God’s consolations not enough for you,
words spoken gently to you?
12
Why has your heart carried you away,
and why do your eyes flash,
13
so that you vent your rage against God
and pour out such words from your mouth?
14
"What are mortals, that they could be pure,
or those born of woman, that they could be righteous?
15
If God places no trust in his holy ones,
if even the heavens are not pure in his eyes,
16
how much less mortals, who are vile and corrupt,
who drink up evil like water!
17
"Listen to me and I will explain to you;
let me tell you what I have seen,
18
what the wise have declared,
hiding nothing received from their ancestors
19
(to whom alone the land was given
when no foreigners moved among them):
20
All his days the wicked man suffers torment,
the ruthless man through all the years stored up for him.
21
Terrifying sounds fill his ears;
when all seems well, marauders attack him.
22
He despairs of escaping the realm of darkness;
he is marked for the sword.
23
He wanders about for food like a vulture;
he knows the day of darkness is at hand.
24
Distress and anguish fill him with terror;
troubles overwhelm him, like a king poised to attack,
25
because he shakes his fist at God
and vaunts himself against the Almighty,
26
defiantly charging against him
with a thick, strong shield.
27
