Job 15:1-13

1And Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,

2Should a wise man answer with windy knowledge, and fill his belly with the east wind,

3Reasoning with unprofitable talk, and with speeches which do no good?

4Yea, thou makest piety of none effect, and restrainest meditation before 1God.

5For thy mouth uttereth thine iniquity, and thou hast chosen the tongue of the crafty.

6Thine own mouth condemneth thee, and not I; and thy lips testify against thee.

7Art thou the first man that was born? and wast thou brought forth before the hills?

8Hast thou listened in the secret council of 2God? And hast thou absorbed wisdom for thyself?

9What knowest thou that we know not? [what] understandest thou which is not in us?

10Both the greyheaded and the aged are with us, older than thy father.

11Are the consolations of 3God too small for thee? and the word gently spoken to thee?

12Why doth thy heart carry thee away? and why do thine eyes wink?

13That thou turnest thy spirit against 4God, and lettest words go out of thy mouth?
