2 Should a wise man make answer with vain knowledge, and fill his belly with the east wind?
3 Should he reason with unprofitable talk, or with speeches wherewith he can do no good?
4 Yea, thou doest away with fear, and restrainest devotion before God.
5 For thine iniquity teacheth thy mouth, and thou choosest the tongue of the crafty.
6 Thine own mouth condemneth thee, and not I; yea, thine own lips testify against thee.
7 Art thou the first man that was born? or wast thou brought forth before the hills?
8 Hast thou heard the secret counsel of God? and dost thou restrain wisdom to thyself?
