Job 15:3

“Should he reason with unprofitable talk, or with speeches with which he can do no good?”

Verse in context — Job 15

Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered,

Should a wise man answer with vain knowledge, and fill himself with the east wind?

Should he reason with unprofitable talk, or with speeches with which he can do no good?

Yes, you do away with fear, and hinder devotion before God.

For your iniquity teaches your mouth, and you choose the language of the crafty.

A poetic exploration of suffering, faith, and God’s sovereignty.
