BRAGADAYJAH 1268
Eliphaz continues to chastise Job

                He hypothesized: “Which wise men have told from their fathers and have not hid it? Unto whom alone the earth was given and no stranger pass among them. The wicked man travaileth in pain all his days and the number of years is hidden from the oppressor. A dreadful sound is in his ears in prosperity the destroyer shall come upon him. He believeth not that he shall return out of darkness, and he is waited for of the sword. He wandereth abroad for bread saying, where is it? He knoweth that the day of darkness is ready at his hand. Trouble and anguish shall make him afraid. They shall prevail against him as a king ready to the battle; for he stretcheth out his hand against God and strengtheneth himself against the Almighty. He runneth upon him even upon his neck; upon the thick bosses of his bucklers, because he covereth his face with his fatness and makes collops of fat on his flanks. And he dwelleth in desolate cities, and in houses which no man inhabiteth; which are ready to become heaps. He shall not be rich neither shall his substance continue. Neither shall he prolong the perfection thereof upon the earth. 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. Let not him that is deceived trust in vanity; for vanity shall be his recompense. It shall be accomplished before his time, and his branch shall not be given. He shall shake off the unripe grape as the vine, and shall cast off his flower as the olive. For the congregation of hypocrites shall be desolate, and fire shall consume the tabernacles of bribery. They conceive mischief, and bring forth vanity, and their belly prepareth deceit.
