Job 15:1-13

New Century Version

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.
⁴ But you even destroy respect for God
    and limit the worship of him.
⁵ Your sin teaches your mouth what to say;
    you use words to trick others.
⁶ It is your own mouth, not mine, that shows you are wicked;
    your own lips testify against you.

⁷ “You are not the first man ever born;
    you are not older than the hills.
⁸ You did not listen in on God’s secret council.
    But you limit wisdom to yourself.
⁹ You don’t know any more than we know.
    You don’t understand any more than we understand.
¹⁰ Old people with gray hair are on our side;
    they are even older than your father.
¹¹ Is the comfort God gives you not enough for you,
    even when words are spoken gently to you?
¹² Has your heart carried you away from God?
    Why do your eyes flash with anger?
¹³ Why do you speak out your anger against God?
    Why do these words pour out of your mouth?
