15:27 Because he covereth his face with his fatness, and maketh collops of fat on his flanks.

15:28 And he dwelleth in desolate cities, and in houses which no man inhabiteth, which are ready to become heaps.
Voice Reading
15:29 He shall not be rich, neither shall his substance continue, neither shall he prolong the perfection thereof upon the earth.
Voice Reading
15:30 He shall not depart out of darkness; the flame shall dry up his branches, and by the breath of his mouth shall he go away.
Voice Reading
15:31 Let not him that is deceived trust in vanity: for vanity shall be his recompence.
Voice Reading
15:32 It shall be accomplished before his time, and his branch shall not be green.
Voice Reading
15:33 He shall shake off his unripe grape as the vine, and shall cast off his flower as the olive.
Voice Reading
15:34 For the congregation of hypocrites shall be desolate, and fire shall consume the tabernacles of bribery.
Voice Reading
15:35 They conceive mischief, and bring forth vanity, and their belly prepareth deceit.

Chapter 16
16:1 Then Job answered and said,
Voice Reading
16:2 I have heard many such things: miserable comforters are ye all.
Voice Reading
16:3 Shall vain words have an end? or what emboldeneth thee that thou answerest?
Voice Reading
16:4 I also could speak as ye do: if your soul were in my soul's stead, I could heap up words against you, and shake mine head at you.
Voice Reading
16:5 But I would strengthen you with my mouth, and the moving of my lips should asswage your grief.
Voice Reading
16:6 Though I speak, my grief is not asswaged: and though I forbear, what am I eased?
Voice Reading
16:7 But now he hath made me weary: thou hast made desolate all my company.
Voice Reading
16:8 And thou hast filled me with wrinkles, which is a witness against me: and my leanness rising up in me beareth witness to my face.
Voice Reading
16:9 He teareth me in his wrath, who hateth me: he gnasheth upon me with his teeth; mine enemy sharpeneth his eyes upon me.
Voice Reading
16:10 They have gaped upon me with their mouth; they have smitten me upon the cheek reproachfully; they have gathered themselves together against me.
Voice Reading
16:11 God hath delivered me to the ungodly, and turned me over into the hands of the wicked.
Voice Reading
16:12 I was at ease, but he hath broken me asunder: he hath also taken me by my neck, and shaken me to pieces, and set me up for his mark.
Voice Reading
16:13 His archers compass me round about, he cleaveth my reins asunder, and doth not spare; he poureth out my gall upon the ground.
Voice Reading
16:14 He breaketh me with breach upon breach, he runneth upon me like a giant.
Voice Reading
16:15 I have sewed sackcloth upon my skin, and defiled my horn in the dust.
