1 And Eliphaz the Temanite answers and says: 2 “Does a wise man answer [with] vain knowledge? And fill his belly [with] an east wind? 3 To reason with a word not useful? And speeches—no profit in them? 4 Indeed, you make reverence void, and diminish meditation before God. 5 For your mouth teaches your iniquity, || And you choose the tongue of the cunning. 6 Your mouth declares you wicked, and not I, || And your lips testify against you. 7 Are you the first man born? And were you formed before the heights? 8 Do you hear of the secret counsel of God? And withdraw wisdom to you? 9 What have you known, and we do not know? [What] do you understand, and it is not with us? Job 15:1-9, Literal Standard Version. Copyright © 2020 Covenant Press.
