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.
7 “You are not the first man ever born.You were not born before the hills were made.
