Job 15:1-9 ▼

1 Then aunswered Eliphaz the Themanite, and saide:

2 Shall a wyse mans aunswere be as the winde, and fill a mans belly as it were with the winde of the east?

3 Shall he reproue with a worde that is nothing worth, & speake the thinges which can do no good?

4 Surely thou hast cast of feare, and restrainest prayer before God.

5 For thy mouth setteth forth thyne owne iniquitie, seeing thou hast chosen the tongue of the craftie.

6 Thyne owne mouth condempneth thee, and not I: yea, thyne owne lippes shape an aunswere against thee.

7 Art thou the first man that euer was borne? or wast thou made before the hils?

8 Hast thou heard the secret counsell of God? and doest thou restraine wysdome to thee?

9 What knowest thou, that we knowe not? And what vnderstandest thou, but we can the same?
