Job 15:1-15
New American Standard Bible

Chapter 15

1Then Eliphaz the Temanite responded,
2'Should a wise man answer with windy knowledge, And fill himself with the east wind? 3Should he argue with useless talk, Or with words which do not benefit? 4Indeed, you do away with reverence, And hinder meditation before God. 5For your wrongdoing teaches your mouth, And you choose the language of the cunning. 6Your own mouth condemns you, and not I; And your own lips testify against you. 7'Were you the first person to be born, Or were you brought forth before the hills? 8Do you hear the secret discussion of God, And limit wisdom to yourself? 9What do you know that we do not know? What do you understand that we do not? 10Both the gray-haired and the aged are among us, Older than your father. 11Are the consolations of God too little for you, Or the word spoken gently to you? 12Why does your heart take you away? And why do your eyes wink, 13That you can turn your spirit against God And produce such words from your mouth? 14What is man, that he would be pure, Or he who is born of a woman, that he would be righteous? 15Behold, He has no trust in His holy ones, And the heavens are not pure in His sight;
King James Version

Chapter 15

1Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite, and said, 2Should a wise man utter vain knowledge, and fill his belly with the east wind?
3Should he reason with unprofitable talk? or with speeches wherewith he can do no good?
4Yea, thou castest off fear, and restrainest prayer before God.
5For thy mouth uttereth thine iniquity, and thou choosest the tongue of the crafty.
6Thine own mouth condemneth thee, and not I: yea, thine own lips testify against thee.
7Art thou the first man that was born? or wast thou made before the hills?
8Hast thou heard the secret of God? and dost thou restrain wisdom to thyself?
9What knowest thou, that we know not? what understandest thou, which is not in us?
10With us are both the grayheaded and very aged men, much elder than thy father.
11Are the consolations of God small with thee? is there any secret thing with thee?
12Why doth thine heart carry thee away? and what do thy eyes wink at,
13That thou turnest thy spirit against God, and lettest such words go out of thy mouth?
14What is man, that he should be clean? and he which is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?
15Behold, he putteth no trust in his saints; yea, the heavens are not clean in his sight.

Chapter 15

1Then Eliphaz the Temanite replied:
2Does a wise man answer with empty counsel or fill himself with the hot east wind? 3Should he argue with useless talk or with words that serve no good purpose? 4But you even undermine the fear of God and hinder meditation before him. 5Your iniquity teaches you what to say, and you choose the language of the crafty.
6Your own mouth condemns you, not I; your own lips testify against you. 7Were you the first human ever born, or were you brought forth before the hills? 8Do you listen in on the council of God, or have a monopoly on wisdom? 9What do you know that we don’t? What do you understand that is not clear to us? 10Both the gray-haired and the elderly are with us— older than your father. 11Are God’s consolations not enough for you, even the words that deal gently with you? 12Why has your heart misled you, and why do your eyes flash
13as you turn your anger against God and allow such words to leave your mouth? 14What is a mere human, that he should be pure, or one born of a woman, that he should be righteous? 15If God puts no trust in his holy ones and the heavens are not pure in his sight,
New Living Translation

Chapter 15

1Then Eliphaz the Temanite replied:
2'A wise man wouldn’t answer with such empty talk! You are nothing but a windbag. 3The wise don’t engage in empty chatter. What good are such words? 4Have you no fear of God, no reverence for him? 5Your sins are telling your mouth what to say. Your words are based on clever deception. 6Your own mouth condemns you, not I. Your own lips testify against you.
7'Were you the first person ever born? Were you born before the hills were made? 8Were you listening at God’s secret council? Do you have a monopoly on wisdom? 9What do you know that we don’t? What do you understand that we do not? 10On our side are aged, gray-haired men much older than your father!
11'Is God’s comfort too little for you? Is his gentle word not enough? 12What has taken away your reason? What has weakened your vision, 13that you turn against God and say all these evil things? 14Can any mortal be pure? Can anyone born of a woman be just? 15Look, God does not even trust the angels. Even the heavens are not absolutely pure in his sight.

1Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said:
2"Should a wise man answer with windy knowledge, and fill his belly with the east wind? 3Should he argue in unprofitable talk, or in words with which he can do no good? 4But you are doing away with the fear of God and hindering meditation before God. 5For your iniquity teaches your mouth, and you choose the tongue of the crafty. 6Your own mouth condemns you, and not I; your own lips testify against you. 7 "Are you the first man who was born?

New International Version

Chapter 15

1Then Eliphaz the Temanite replied:
2"Would a wise person answer with empty notions or fill their belly with the hot east wind? 3Would they argue with useless words, with speeches that have no value? 4But you even undermine piety and hinder devotion to God. 5Your sin prompts your mouth; you adopt the tongue of the crafty.
6Your own mouth condemns you, not mine; your own lips testify against you. 7"Are you the first man ever born? Were you brought forth before the hills? 8Do you listen in on God’s council? Do you have a monopoly on wisdom? 9What do you know that we do not know? What insights do you have that we do not have? 10The gray-haired and the aged are on our side, men even older than your father. 11Are God’s consolations not enough for you, words spoken gently to you? 12Why has your heart carried you away, and why do your eyes flash,
13so that you vent your rage against God and pour out such words from your mouth? 14"What are mortals, that they could be pure, or those born of woman, that they could be righteous? 15If God places no trust in his holy ones, if even the heavens are not pure in his eyes,

1Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said:
2“Should a wise man answer with empty knowledge, And fill himself with the east wind? 3Should he reason with unprofitable talk, Or by speeches with which he can do no good? 4Yes, you cast off fear, And restrain prayer before God. 5For your iniquity teaches your mouth, And you choose the tongue 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 made before the hills? 8 Have you heard the counsel of God? Do you limit wisdom to yourself? 9 What do you know that we do not know? What do you understand that is not in us? 10 Both the gray-haired and the aged are among us, Much older than your father. 11 Are the consolations of God too small for you, And the word spoken gently with you? 12Why does your heart carry you away, And what do your eyes wink at, 13That you turn your spirit against God, And let such words go out of your mouth? 14“What is man, that he could be pure?
