Job 15:35
“They conceive mischief, and produce iniquity. Their heart prepares deceit.””
What does Job 15:35 mean?
Eliphaz is describing how wrongdoing grows from the inside out, like a destructive pregnancy. He's saying that when people nurture harmful intentions in their hearts, those intentions eventually give birth to real harm and deception in the world around them. The image is striking: sin doesn't just happen randomly, it gestates and develops until it becomes something concrete and damaging. This reflects the ancient wisdom that our deepest thoughts and desires shape what we actually do, and what we do affects others.
