SECOND SERIES OF SPEECHES

ELIPHAZ SPEAKS

15 Then Eliphaz the Temanite replied:

2 Does a wise man answer with empty* counselo

or fill himselfD with the hot east wind?

3 Should he arguep with useless talk

or with words that serve no good purpose?

4 But you even undermine the fear of God

and hinder meditation before him.

5 Your iniquityq teaches you what to say,

and you choose the language of the crafty.

6 Your own mouth condemns you, not I;

your own lips testify against you.r
