1. Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite, and said,
2. Should a wise man make answer with vain knowledge, And fill himself with the east wind?
3. Should he reason with unprofitable talk, Or with speeches wherewith he can do no good?
4. Yea, thou doest away with fear, And hinderest devotion before God.
5. For thine iniquity teacheth thy mouth, And thou choosest the tongue of the crafty.
6. Thine own mouth condemneth thee, and not I; Yea, thine own lips testify against thee.
7. Art thou the first man that was born? Or wast thou brought forth before the hills?
8. Hast thou heard the secret counsel of God? And dost thou limit wisdom to thyself?
