Job 15:1 - 17:16 - Can upright people suffer?

Title: Job 15:1 - 17:16
Date: Nov 15, 2006
Speaker: Pastor Antonye Holyde

Passage: Job 15:1-16

1 Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said:
2 " Should a wise man answer with empty knowledge, And fill himself with the east wind?
3 Should he reason with unprofitable talk, Or by speeches with which he can do no good?
4 Yes, you cast off fear, And restrain prayer before God.
5 For your iniquity teaches your mouth, And you choose the tongue of the crafty.
6 Your own mouth condemns you, and not I; Yes, your own lips testify against you.
7 " Are you the first man who was born? Or were you made before the hills?
8 Have you heard the counsel of God? Do you limit wisdom to yourself?
9 What do you know that we do not know? What do you understand that is not in us?
10 Both the gray-haired and the aged are among us, Much older than your father.
11 Are the consolations of God too small for you, And the word spoken gently with you?
12 Why does your heart carry you away, And what do your eyes wink at,
13 That you turn your spirit against God, And let such words go out of your mouth?
14 " What is man, that he could be pure? And he who is born of a woman, that he could be righteous?
15 If God puts no trust in His saints, And the heavens are not pure in His sight,
16 How much less man, who is abominable and filthy, Who drinks iniquity like water!
