Job 15:1–13

Then answered aEliphaz the Temanite, and said,

2  Should ba wise man utter †vain knowledge,

And fill his cbelly with dthe east wind?

3  Should he reason with ddunprofitable talk?

Or with speeches wherewith he ecan do no good?

4  Yea, †thou castest off ffear,

And restrainest ||prayer before God.

5  For thy mouth †uttereth thine iniquity,

And thou choosest the tongue of the crafty.

6  gThine own mouth condemneth thee, and not I:

Yea, thine own lips htestify against thee.

7  Art thou the first man that was born?

Or iwast thou made jbefore the hills?

8  Hast thou heard kthe secret of God?

And dost thou lrestrain wisdom to thyself?

9  mWhat knowest thou, that we know not?

What understandest thou, which is not in us?

10  nWith us are both the grayheaded and overy aged men,

Much elder than thy father.

11  Are the consolations of God small with thee?

Is there any secret thing with thee?

12  Why doth thine heart carry thee away?

And what do thy eyes wink at,

13  That thou turnest thy pspirit against God,

And lettest such words go out of thy mouth?
