Job 15:1-9 ▼

1 And Eliphaz the Themanite, answered, and said:

2 Will a wise man answer as if he were speaking in the wind, and fill his stomach with burning heat?

3 Thou reprovest him by words, who is not equal to thee, and thou speakest that which is not good for thee.

4 As much as is in thee, thou hast made void fear, and hast taken away prayers from before God.

5 For thy iniquity hath taught thy mouth, and thou imitatest the tongue of blasphemers.

6 Thy own mouth shall condemn thee, and not I: and thy own lips shall answer thee.

7 Art thou the first man that was born, or wast thou made before the hills ?

8 Hast thou heard God's counsel, and shall his wisdom be inferior to thee?

9 What knowest thou that we are ignorant of? what dost thou understand that we know not?
