New Living Translation (NLT)
Job 14
22 They suffer painfully; their life is full of trouble.”
Job 15
1 Then Eliphaz the Temanite replied:
2 “A wise man wouldn’t answer with such empty talk! You are nothing but a windbag.
3 The wise don’t engage in empty chatter. What good are such words?
4 Have you no fear of God, no reverence for him?
5 Your sins are telling your mouth what to say. Your words are based on clever deception.
6 Your 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?
8 Were you listening at God’s secret council? Do you have a monopoly on wisdom?
9 What do you know that we don’t? What do you understand that we do not?
10 On our side are aged, gray-haired men much older than your father!
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
