Job 15
Reading Job chapter 15 in the Young's Literal Translation, public-domain text from 1898.
Verses 1–10
1 And Eliphaz the Temanite answereth and saith: --
2 Doth a wise man answer with vain knowledge? And fill with an east wind his belly?
3 To reason with a word not useful? And speeches--no profit in them?
4 Yea, thou dost make reverence void, And dost diminish meditation before God.
5 For thy mouth teacheth thine iniquity, And thou chooseth the tongue of the subtile.
6 Thy mouth declareth thee wicked, and not I, And thy lips testify against thee.
7 The first man art thou born? And before the heights wast thou formed?
8 Of the secret counsel of God dost thou hear? And withdrawest thou unto thee wisdom?
9 What hast thou known, and we know not? Understandest thou--and it is not with us?
10 Both the gray-headed And the very aged are among us--Greater than thy father in days.
