1 Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered:
2 “A wise person would not answer with empty wordsor fill his stomach with the hot east wind.
3 He would not argue with useless wordsor make speeches that have no value.
4 But you even destroy respect for Godand limit the worship of him.
5 Your sin teaches your mouth what to say;you use words to trick others.
6 It is your own mouth, not mine, that shows you are wicked;your own lips testify against you.
7 “You are not the first man ever born;you are not older than the hills.
