Job 15:2-9
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 15
2
'Should a wise man answer with windy knowledge,
And fill himself with the east wind?
3
Should he argue with useless talk,
Or with words which do not benefit?
4
Indeed, you do away with reverence,
And hinder meditation before God.
5
For your wrongdoing teaches your mouth,
And you choose the language of the cunning.
6
Your 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?
8
Do you hear the secret discussion of God,
And limit wisdom to yourself?
9
What do you know that we do not know?
What
do you understand that we do not?
King James Version
Chapter 15
2
Should a wise man utter vain knowledge, and fill his belly with the east wind?
3
Should he reason with unprofitable talk? or with speeches wherewith he can do no good?
4
Yea, thou castest off fear, and restrainest prayer before God.
5
For thy mouth uttereth thine iniquity, and thou choosest the tongue of the crafty.
6
Thine own mouth condemneth thee, and not I: yea, thine own lips testify against thee.
7
Art thou the first man that was born? or wast thou made before the hills?
8
Hast thou heard the secret of God? and dost thou restrain wisdom to thyself?
9
What knowest thou, that we know not? what understandest thou, which is not in us?
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 15
2
Does a wise man answer with empty counsel
or fill himself with the hot east wind?
3
Should he argue with useless talk
or with words that serve no good purpose?
4
But you even undermine the fear of God
and hinder meditation before him.
5
Your iniquity teaches you what to say,
and you choose the language of the crafty.
6
Your own mouth condemns you, not I;
your own lips testify against you.
7
Were you the first human ever born,
or were you brought forth before the hills?
8
Do you listen in on the council of God,
or have a monopoly on wisdom?
9
What do you know that we don’t?
What do you understand that is not clear to us?
New Living Translation
Chapter 15
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?
English Standard Version
Chapter 15
2
"Should a wise man answer with windy knowledge,
and fill his belly with the east wind?
3
Should he argue in unprofitable talk,
or in words with which he can do no good?
4
But you are doing away with the fear of God
and hindering meditation before God.
5
For your iniquity teaches your mouth,
and you choose the tongue of the crafty.
6
Your own mouth condemns you, and not I;
your own lips testify against you.
7
"Are you the first man who was born?
Or were you brought forth before the hills?
8
Have you listened in the council of God?
And do you limit wisdom to yourself?
9
What do you know that we do not know?
What do you understand that is not clear to us?
New International Version
Chapter 15
2
"Would a wise person answer with empty notions
or fill their belly with the hot east wind?
3
Would they argue with useless words,
with speeches that have no value?
4
But you even undermine piety
and hinder devotion to God.
5
Your sin prompts your mouth;
you adopt the tongue of the crafty.
6
Your 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?
8
Do you listen in on God’s council?
Do you have a monopoly on wisdom?
9
What do you know that we do not know?
What insights do you have that we do not have?
New King James Version
Chapter 15
2
“Should a wise man answer with empty knowledge,
And fill himself with the east wind?
3
Should he reason with unprofitable talk,
Or by speeches with which he can do no good?
4
Yes, you cast off fear,
And restrain prayer before God.
5
For 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?
