"to such an extent that, within yourself, you have expelled reverence and have taken away prayers from the presence of God."
— Job 15:4, Catholic Public Domain Version
“Yea, thou castest off fear, and restrainest prayer before God.”
“Yea, thou doest away with fear, And hinderest devotion before God. ”
“Yes, you do away with fear, and hinder devotion before God.”
“But you even break off piety, and hinder meditation before God.”
“As much as is in thee, thou hast made void fear, and hast taken away prayers from before God.”
“Truly, you make the fear of God without effect, so that the time of quiet worship before God is made less by your outcry.”
“Yea, thou castest off fear, and restrainest prayer before God.”
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.
Are you the first man who was born, or were you formed before the hills?
