The Verses “Then Eliphaz the Temanite responded,‘Should a wise man answer with windy knowledge,And fill himself with the east wind?Should he argue with useless talk,Or with words which do not benefit?Indeed, you do away with reverence,And hinder meditation before God.For your wrongdoing teaches your mouth,And you choose the language of the cunning.Your own mouth condemns you, and not I;And your own lips testify against you.

The Verses “Man, who is born of woman,Is short-lived and full of turmoil.Like a flower he comes out and withers.He also flees like a shadow and does not remain.You also open Your eyes on himAnd bring him into judgment with Yourself.Who can make the clean out of the unclean?No one!Since his days are determined,The number of his months is with You,And You have set his limits so that he cannot…

The Verses “Behold, my eye has seen all this,My ear has heard and understood it.What you know, I also know;I am not inferior to you.But I would speak to the Almighty,And I desire to argue with God.But you smear me with lies;You are all worthless physicians.Oh that you would be completely silent,And that it would become your wisdom!Please hear my argument,And give your attention to the contentions of my lips.Will…

“Then Zophar the Naamathite responded,‘Shall a multitude of words go unanswered,And a talkative man be acquitted?Shall your boasts silence people?And will you scoff, and no one rebuke?For you have said, “My teaching is pure,And I am innocent in Your eyes.”But if only God would speak,And open His lips against you,And show you the secrets of wisdom!For sound wisdom has two sides.Know then that God forgets part of your guilt. Can…

“I am disgusted with my own life;I will express my complaint freely;I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.I will say to God, ‘Do not condemn me;Let me know why You contend with me.Is it right for You indeed to oppress,To reject the work of Your hands,And to look favorably on the plan of the wicked?Do You have eyes of flesh?Or do You see as mankind sees?Are Your days…
