Job 15:1-9 ▼

1 Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered:

2 |Does a wise man answer with blustery knowledge, or fill his belly with the east wind?

3 Does he argue with useless talk, with words that have no value in them?

4 But you even break off piety, and hinder meditation before God.

5 Your sin inspires your mouth; you choose the language of the crafty.

6 Your own mouth condemns you, not I; your own lips testify against you.

7 |Were you the first man ever born? Were you brought forth before the hills?

8 Do you listen in on God's secret council? Do you limit wisdom to yourself?

9 What do you know that we don't know? What do you understand that we don't understand?
