Job 15:2
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
“Does a wise man answer with empty counsel or fill his belly with the hot east wind?
In context
1 Then Eliphaz the Temanite replied:
2 “Does a wise man answer with empty counsel or fill his belly with the hot east wind?
3 Should he argue with useless words or speeches that serve no purpose?
4 But you even undermine the fear of God and hinder meditation before Him.
