Job 15:1-13

World English Bible

² “Should a wise man answer with vain knowledge,
    and fill himself with the east wind?
³ Should he reason with unprofitable talk,
    or with speeches with which he can do no good?
⁴ Yes, you do away with fear,
    and hinder devotion before God.
⁵ For your iniquity teaches your mouth,
    and you choose the language of the crafty.
⁶ Your own mouth condemns you, and not I.
    Yes, your own lips testify against you.

⁷ “Are you the first man who was born?
    Or were you brought out before the hills?
⁸ Have you heard the secret counsel of God?
    Do you limit wisdom to yourself?
⁹ What do you know that we don’t know?
    What do you understand which is not in us?
¹⁰ With us are both the gray-headed and the very aged men,
    much older than your father.
¹¹ Are the consolations of God too small for you,
    even the word that is gentle toward you?
¹² Why does your heart carry you away?
    Why do your eyes flash,
¹³ that you turn your spirit against God,
    and let such words go out of your mouth?
