New Living Translation (NLT)
Job 14
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?
5 Your sins are telling your mouth what to say. Your words are based on clever deception.
6 Your own mouth condemns you, not I. Your own lips testify against you.
7 “Were you the first person ever born? Were you born before the hills were made?
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
