1 Then Eliphaz the Temanite responded and said:
2 “Does a wise man answer with empty knowledge, or fill his belly with the east wind?
3 Does he argue with useless talk and words that have no value in them?
4 You even do away with reverence and hinder devotion before God.
5 For your iniquity prompts your mouth and you choose the tongue of the crafty.
6 Your own mouth condemns you—not I; your own lips testify against you.
