Should a wise man answer with windy knowledge, and fill his belly with the east wind?
What you know, I know also; I do not fall short of you.
And Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,
Should he reason with talk that is not useful, or with speeches which have no profit?
Do you intend to criticize words, and the speeches of one who is hopeless, that are as wind?
How long will you speak these things, since the words of your mouth are like a strong wind?
The heart of the wise teaches his mouth, and adds learning to his lips.
As he came forth from his mother's womb naked, he shall return to go as he came. And from his labor he may not carry anything that may go in his hand.
Ephraim feeds on wind and follows after the east wind. He daily multiplies lies and cruelty. And they make a covenant with the Assyrians, and oil is carried into Egypt.
Jehovah also has a quarrel with Judah and will punish Jacob according to his ways; according to his doings He will repay him.
Who is wise and knowing among you? Let him show his works by his good conduct with meekness of wisdom.
