2 “If you were really wise, you would not answer with your worthless personal opinions! A wise man would not be so full of hot air.
3 Do you think a wise man would use empty words and meaningless speeches to win his arguments?
4 If you had your way, no one would respect God and pray to him.
5 What you say clearly shows your sin. Job, you are trying to hide your sin by using clever words.
6 I don’t need to prove to you that you are wrong. The words from your own mouth show that you are wrong. Your own lips speak against you.
7 “Do you think you were the first person ever to be born? Were you born before the hills?
8 Did you listen to God’s secret plans? Do you think you are the only wise person?
