God delivereth me to the ungodly, And casteth me into the hands of the wicked.

Should a wise man make answer with vain knowledge, And fill himself with the east wind?
How much less one that is abominable and corrupt, A man that drinketh iniquity like water!
Job 15
Yea, thou doest away with fear, And hinderest devotion before God.
Why doth thy heart carry thee away? And why do thine eyes flash,
If a man die, shall he live `again'? All the days of my warfare would I wait, Till my release should come.
Because he hath covered his face with his fatness, And gathered fat upon his loins;
His sons come to honor, and he knoweth it not; And they are brought low, but he perceiveth it not of them.
But now thou numberest my steps: Dost thou not watch over my sin?
For thine iniquity teacheth thy mouth, And thou choosest the tongue of the crafty.
My transgression is sealed up in a bag, And thou fastenest up mine iniquity.
What knowest thou, that we know not? What understandest thou, which is not in us?
But man dieth, and is laid low: Yea, man giveth up the ghost, and where is he?
So man lieth down and riseth not: Till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake, Nor be roused out of their sleep.
Oh that thou wouldest hide me in Sheol, That thou wouldest keep me secret, until thy wrath be past, That thou wouldest appoint me a set time, and remember me!
The wicked man travaileth with pain all his days, Even the number of years that are laid up for the oppressor.
I will show thee, hear thou me; And that which I have seen I will declare:
Art thou the first man that was born? Or wast thou brought forth before the hills?
A sound of terrors is in his ears; In prosperity the destroyer shall come upon him.
Thou prevailest for ever against him, and he passeth; Thou changest his countenance, and sendest him away.
Should he reason with unprofitable talk, Or with speeches wherewith he can do no good?
That against God thou turnest thy spirit, And lettest words go out of thy mouth?
The waters wear the stones; The overflowings thereof wash away the dust of the earth: So thou destroyest the hope of man.
Hast thou heard the secret counsel of God? And dost thou limit wisdom to thyself?
(Which wise men have told From their fathers, and have not hid it;
He wandereth abroad for bread, `saying', Where is it? He knoweth that the day of darkness is ready at his hand.
Thine own mouth condemneth thee, and not I; Yea, thine own lips testify against thee.
He believeth not that he shall return out of darkness, And he is waited for of the sword.
Thou wouldest call, and I would answer thee: Thou wouldest have a desire to the work of thy hands.
