Job 15
Reading Job chapter 15 in the World English Bible, public-domain text from 2000.
Verses 1–10
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?
10 With us are both the grey-headed and the very aged men, much older than your father.
