Job 15:1-9 ▼

1 Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered,

2 “Should a wise man answer with vain knowledge, and fill himself with the east wind?

3 Should he reason with unprofitable talk, or with speeches with which he can do no good?

4 Yes, you do away with fear, and hinder devotion before God.

5 For your iniquity teaches your mouth, and you choose the language of the crafty.

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

7 “Are you the first man who was born? Or were you brought out before the hills?

8 Have you heard the secret counsel of God? Do you limit wisdom to yourself?

9 What do you know that we don’t know? What do you understand which is not in us?
