Why is your heart uncontrolled, and why are your eyes lifted up;

Will a wise man make answer with knowledge of no value, or will he give birth to the east wind?

Were you present at the secret meeting of God? and have you taken all wisdom for yourself?

The evil man is in pain all his days, and the number of the years stored up for the cruel is small.

Let him not put his hope in what is false, falling into error: for he will get deceit as his reward.

(The things which wise men have got from their fathers, and have not kept secret from us;

It is by your mouth, even yours, that you are judged to be in the wrong, and not by me; and your lips give witness against you.

Were you the first man to come into the world? or did you come into being before the hills?

How much less one who is disgusting and unclean, a man who takes in evil like water!

He does not get wealth for himself, and is unable to keep what he has got; the heads of his grain are not bent down to the earth.

For your mouth is guided by your sin, and you have taken the tongue of the false for yourself.

And Eliphaz the Temanite made answer and said,

Take note and give ear to my words; and I will say what I have seen:

What knowledge have you which we have not? is there anything in your mind which is not in ours?

What is man, that he may be clean? and how may the son of woman be upright?

Are the comforts of God not enough for you, and the gentle word which was said to you?

So that you are turning your spirit against God, and letting such words go out of your mouth?

Truly, he puts no faith in his holy ones, and the heavens are not clean in his eyes;

For only to them was the land given, and no strange people were among them:)

Will he make arguments with words in which is no profit, and with sayings which have no value?

With us are men who are grey-haired and full of years, much older than your father.

Truly, you make the fear of God without effect, so that the time of quiet worship before God is made less by your outcry.
