Job 15:1 In-Context

1 Empty words, Job!
2 Empty words!
3 No one who is wise would talk the way you do or defend himself with such meaningless words.
4 If you had your way, no one would fear God; no one would pray to him.
5 Your wickedness is evident by what you say; you are trying to hide behind clever words.
