Job: Chapter 15 (asv) - Online Bible

Job 15
- 1 Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite, and said,
- 2 Should a wise man make answer with vain knowledge, And fill himself with the east wind?
- 3 Should he reason with unprofitable talk, Or with speeches wherewith he can do no good?
- 4 Yea, thou doest away with fear, And hinderest devotion before God.
- 5 For thine iniquity teacheth thy mouth, 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 brought forth before the hills?
- 8 Hast thou heard the secret counsel of God? And dost thou limit 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 gray-headed and the very aged men, Much elder than thy father.
- 11 Are the consolations of God too small for thee, Even the word that is gentle toward thee?
- 12 Why doth thy heart carry thee away? And why do thine eyes flash,
- 13 That against God thou turnest thy spirit, And lettest words go out of thy mouth?
- 14 What is man, that he should be clean? And he that is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?
- 15 Behold, he putteth no trust in his holy ones; Yea, the heavens are not clean in his sight:
- 16 How much less one that is abominable and corrupt, A man that drinketh iniquity like water!
- 17 I will show thee, hear thou 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 land was given, And no stranger passed among them):
- 20 The wicked man travaileth with pain all his days, Even the number of years that are laid up for the oppressor.
- 21 A sound of terrors 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 Distress and anguish make him afraid; They prevail against him, as a king ready to the battle.
- 25 Because he hath stretched out his hand against God, And behaveth himself proudly against the Almighty;
- 26 He runneth upon him with astiffneck, With the thick bosses of his bucklers;
- 27 Because he hath covered his face with his fatness, And gathered fat upon his loins;
- 28 And he hath dwelt in desolate cities, In houses which no man inhabited, Which were ready to become heaps;
- 29 He shall not be rich, neither shall his substance continue, Neither shall their possessions be extended on the earth.
- 30 He shall not depart out of darkness; The flame shall dry up his branches, And by the breath ofGod’smouth shall he go away.
- 31 Let him not trust in vanity, deceiving himself; For vanity shall be his recompense.
- 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-tree.
- 34 For the company of the godless shall be barren, And fire shall consume the tents of bribery.
- 35 They conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity, And their heart prepareth deceit.

The American Standard Version (ASV) of the Holy Bible is in the Public Domain. Please feel free to copy it, give it away, memorize it, publish it, sell it, or whatever God leads you to do with it.

The American Standard Version of 1901 is an Americanization of the English Revised Bible, which is an update of the KJV to less archaic spelling and greater accuracy of translation. It has been called "The Rock of Biblical Honesty." It is the product of the work of over 50 Evangelical Christian scholars.

While the ASV retains many archaic word forms, it is still more understandable to the modern reader than the KJV in many passages. The ASV also forms the basis for several modern English translations, including the World English Bible (http://www.eBible.org/bible/WEB), which is also in the Public Domain. The ASV uses "Jehovah" for Godߴs proper name. While the current consensus is that this Holy Name was more likely pronounced "Yahweh," it is refreshing to see this rendition instead of the overloading of the word "Lord" that the KJV, NASB, and many others do.

Pronouns referring to God are not capitalized in the ASV, as they are not in the NIV and some others, breaking the tradition of the KJV. Since Hebrew has no such thing as tense, and the oldest Greek manuscripts are all upper case, anyway, this tradition was based only on English usage around 1600, anyway. Not capitalizing these pronouns solves some translational problems, such as the coronation psalms, which refer equally well to an earthly king and to God.
