New International Reader's Version

Job 15:2-8 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

2. "Job, if you were wise, would you answer us with a lot of meaningless talk? Would you fill your stomach with the hot east wind?

3. Would you argue with useless words? Would you give worthless speeches?

4. But you even cause others to lose their respect for God. You make it hard for them to be faithful to him.

5. Your sin makes you say evil things. You talk like people who twist the truth.

6. Your own mouth judges you, not mine. Your own lips witness against you.

7. "Are you the first man who was ever born? Were you created before the hills?

8. Do you listen in when God speaks with his angels? Do you think you are the only wise person?
