1. And Eliphaz the Themanite, answered, and said:
2. Will a wise man answer as if he were speaking in the wind, and fill his stomach with burning heat?
3. Thou reprovest him by words, who is not equal to thee, and thou speakest that which is not good for thee.
4. As much as is in thee, thou hast made void fear, and hast taken away prayers from before God.
5. For thy iniquity hath taught thy mouth, and thou imitatest the tongue of blasphemers.
6. Thy own mouth shall condemn thee, and not I: and thy own lips shall answer thee.
7. Art thou the first man that was born, or wast thou made before the hills?
8. Hast thou heard God's counsel, and shall his wisdom be inferior to thee?
