2 Should a wise man utter vain knowledge and fill his belly with the east wind

3 Should he reason with unprofitable talk or with speeches wherewith he can do no good

4 Yea thou castest off fear and restrainest prayer before God

5 For thy mouth uttereth thine iniquity and thou choosest the tongue of the crafty

6 Thine own mouth condemneth thee and not I yea thine own lips testify against thee

7 Art thou the first __ man that was born or wast thou made before the hills

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

28 And he dwelleth in desolate cities and in houses which no man inhabiteth which are ready to become heaps

29 He shall not be rich neither shall his substance continue neither shall he prolong the perfection thereof upon the earth

30 He shall not depart out of darkness the flame shall dry up his branches and by the breath of his mouth shall he go away

31 Let not him that is deceived trust in vanity for vanity shall be his recompence

32 It shall be accomplished before his time and his branch shall not be green

33 He shall shake off his unripe grape as the vine and shall cast off his flower as the olive

34 For the congregation of hypocrites shall be desolate and fire shall consume the tabernacles of bribery

35 They conceive mischief and bring forth vanity and their belly prepareth deceit
