Job 15:4

Job 15:4

Compare all

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.

6 ^aYour own mouth condemns you, and not I;
Yes, your own lips testify against you.

John Wesley's Notes

<< Job 15:3

Job 15:5 >>

Castest off - Heb. thou makes void fear; the fear of God, piety and religion, by thy unworthy speeches of God, and by those false and pernicious principles, that God makes no difference between good and bad in the course of his providence, but equally prospers or afflicts both: thou dost that which tends to the subversion of the fear and worship of God. Restrainest prayer - Thou dost by thy words and principles, as far as in thee lies, banish prayer out of the world, by making it useless and unprofitable to men.
