New Living Translation (NLT)
Job 14
16 For then you would guard my steps, instead of watching for my sins.
17 My sins would be sealed in a pouch, and you would cover my guilt.
18 “But instead, as mountains fall and crumble and as rocks fall from a cliff,
19 as water wears away the stones and floods wash away the soil, so you destroy people’s hope.
20 You always overpower them, and they pass from the scene. You disfigure them in death and send them away.
21 They never know if their children grow up in honor or sink to insignificance.
22 They suffer painfully; their life is full of trouble.”
Job 15
1 Then Eliphaz the Temanite replied:
2 “A wise man wouldn’t answer with such empty talk! You are nothing but a windbag.
3 The wise don’t engage in empty chatter. What good are such words?
4 Have you no fear of God, no reverence for him?
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
