Eliphaz Accuses Job of Folly

1 Then ^aEliphaz the Temanite answered and said:

2 “Should a wise man answer with empty knowledge,
And fill¹ himself with the east wind?

3 Should he reason with unprofitable talk,
Or by speeches with which he can do no good?

4 Yes, you cast off fear,
And restrain¹ prayer before God.

5 For your iniquity teaches your mouth,
And you choose the tongue of the crafty.

Should he reason with unprofitable talk? - Should a man talk disrespectfully of his Maker, or speak to him without reverence? and should he suppose that he has proved any thing, when he has uttered words of little meaning, and used sound instead of sense?
