Job:15:1-13
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered ,
and said ,
*
Should a wise man make answer with vain knowledge ,
and fill himself with the east wind ?
*
Should he reason with unprofitable talk ,
or with speeches with which he can do no good ?
*
Yea ,
thou do away with fear ,
and hinder devotion before God .
*
For thine iniquity teaches thy mouth .
And thou choose the tongue of the crafty .
*
Thine own mouth condemns thee ,
and not I .
Yes ,
thine own lips testify against thee .
*
Are thou the first man who was born ?
Or were thou brought forth before the hills ?
*
Have thou heard the secret counsel of God ?
And do thou limit wisdom to thyself ?
*
What do thou know ,
that we do not know ?
What do thou understand ,
which is not in us ?
*
With us are both the gray-headed and the very aged men ,
much older than thy father .
*
Are the consolations of God too small for thee ,
even the word that is gentle toward thee ?
*
Why does thy heart carry thee away ?
And why do thine eyes flash ,
*
that against God thou turn thy spirit ,
and let words go out of thy mouth ?
