Job 15:1-2

EasyEnglish Bible

15 Then Eliphaz, the man from Teman, replied to Job. This is what he said:

²‘If you were wise,
you would not answer us with such silly ideas.
The words that come out from inside you are only a hot wind!

15:1 Eliphaz tells Job what will happen to bad people. He thinks that Job must be a bad person. That is why God is punishing him.
