1 Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite, and said, 2 Should a wise man make answer with vain knowledge, and fill his belly with the east wind? 3 Should he reason with unprofitable talk, or with speeches wherewith he can do no good? 4 Yea, thou doest away with fear, and restrainest devotion before God. 5 For thine iniquity teacheth thy mouth, and thou choosest the tongue of the crafty. 6 Thine own mouth condemneth thee, and not I; yea, thine own lips testify against thee. 7 Art thou the first man that was born? or wast thou brought forth before the hills? 8 Hast thou heard the secret counsel of God? and dost thou restrain wisdom to thyself? 9 What knowest thou, that we know not? what understandest thou, which is not in us?
