1. Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered:
2. “A wise man would not answer with empty words.He would not fill his stomach with hot, east wind.
3. He would not argue with useless words.He would not make speeches that have no value.
4. But you even break down the worship of God.You stand in the way of those who pray to him.
5. Your sin teaches your mouth what to say.You use the same words as people who trick others.
6. It is your own mouth, not mine, that shows you are wicked.Your own lips speak as a witness against you.
