1. Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said:
2. “Should a wise man answer with empty knowledge,And fill himself with the east wind?
3. Should he reason with unprofitable talk,Or by speeches with which he can do no good?
4. Yes, you cast off fear,And restrain prayer before God.
5. For your iniquity teaches your mouth,And you choose the tongue of the crafty.
