Job 15:1 In-Context

1 Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered:

2 "A wise person would not answer with empty words or fill his stomach with the hot east wind.

3 He would not argue with useless words or make speeches that have no value.

5 Your sin teaches your mouth what to say; you use words to trick others.
