Job 15:1 In-Context

1 And Eliphaz the Themanite, answered, and said:

2 Will a wise man answer as if he were speaking in the wind, and fill his stomach with burning heat?

3 Thou reprovest him by words, who is not equal to thee, and thou speakest that which is not good for thee.

4 As much as is in thee, thou hast made void fear, and hast taken away prayers from before God.

5 For thy iniquity hath taught thy mouth, and thou imitatest the tongue of blasphemers.
