18:015:031 Let not him that is deceived trust in vanity: for vanity shall be his recompence.

18:015:032 It shall be accomplished before his time, and his branch shall not be green.

18:015:033 He shall shake off his unripe grape as the vine, and shall cast off his flower as the olive.

18:015:034 For the congregation of hypocrites shall be desolate, and fire shall consume the tabernacles of bribery.

18:015:035 They conceive mischief, and bring forth vanity, and their belly prepareth deceit.

18:016:001 Then Job answered and said,

18:016:002 I have heard many such things: miserable comforters are ye all.

18:016:003 Shall vain words have an end? or what emboldeneth thee that thou answerest?

18:016:004 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.

18:016:005 But I would strengthen you with my mouth, and the moving of my lips should asswage your grief.
