Chapter 15

Eliphaz’s second speech

Eliphaz says that Job is wrong

v1 Eliphaz, who belonged to the people called Temanites, answered. He said:

v2 A wise man should not speak foolish words. He should not make sounds that mean nothing, like the wind. v3 He should check that his words are helpful. His speeches should always be good.

v4 But, Job, your speeches do not respect God. You suggest that prayer has no value. v5 You have spoken evil words. Your words are clever (but they are not right). v6 I do not accuse you. But your own words prove that you are wrong.
