1 Eliphaz answered:
2 Will the wise respond with windy knowledgeand fill their belly with the east wind?
3 Will they argue with a word that has no benefitand with unprofitable words?
4 You are truly making religion ineffectiveand restraining meditation before God.
5 Your mouth multiplies your sins a thousand times;you opt for a clever tongue.
6 Your mouth condemns you, not I;your lips argue against you.
7 Were you born the first Adam,brought forth before the hills?
