1. THEN ELIPHAZ the Temanite answered [Job],
2. Should a wise man utter such windy knowledge [as we have just heard] and fill himself with the east wind [of withering, parching, and violent accusations]?
3. Should he reason with unprofitable talk? Or with speeches with which he can do no good?
4. Indeed, you are doing away with [reverential] fear, and you are hindering and diminishing meditation and devotion before God.
5. For your iniquity teaches your mouth, and you choose the tongue of the crafty.
6. Your own mouth condemns you, and not I; yes, your own lips testify against you.
