"You rebuke with words he who is not equal to you, and you speak what is not expedient for you, "
— Job 15:3, Catholic Public Domain Version
“Should he reason with unprofitable talk? or with speeches wherewith he can do no good?”
“Should he reason with unprofitable talk, Or with speeches wherewith he can do no good? ”
“Should he reason with unprofitable talk, or with speeches with which he can do no good?”
“Does he argue with useless talk, with words that have no value in them?”
“Thou reprovest him by words, who is not equal to thee, and thou speakest that which is not good for thee.”
“Will he make arguments with words in which is no profit, and with sayings which have no value?”
“Should he reason with unprofitable talk? or with speeches wherewith he can do no good?”
But Eliphaz the Themanite, answering, said:
Will a wise man answer as if he were speaking wind, and will he fill his stomach with fire?
You rebuke with words he who is not equal to you, and you speak what is not expedient for you,
to such an extent that, within yourself, you have expelled reverence and have taken away prayers from the presence of God.
For your iniquity has mislead your mouth, and you imitate the tongue of blasphemers.
Your own mouth will condemn you, not I; and your own lips will answer you.
