BRAGADAYJAH 1267
Eliphaz’s Second Speech. He rebukes Job.
Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite and said; “Should a wise man utter vain knowledge, and fill his belly with the east wind? Should he reason with unprofitable talk, or with speeches wherein he can do no good? Yea thou castest off fear, and restrainest prayer before God. For thy mouth utter thine iniquity, and thou chooseth the tongue of the crafty. Thy own mouth condemn thee, and not I. Thine own lips testify against thee. Art thou the first man that was born? Or wast thou made before the hills? Hast thou heard the secret of God and dost thou restrain wisdom to thyself? What knowest thou that we know not, what understandest thou that is not in us? With us are both the gray headed and very aged men, much older than thy father. Are the consolations of God small with thee? Why dost thy heart carry thee away? And what do thy eyes wink at, that thou turnest thy spirit against God, and letest such words go out of thy mouth? What is man that he should be clean, and he that is born of a woman that he should be righteous? Behold He puttest no trust in his saints, yea the heavens are not clean in His sight. How much more abominable and filthy is man which drinketh iniquity like water? I will show thee; hear me, and that which I have seen I will declare.
