American Standard Version of 1901
Versliste
Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite, and said,
Should a wise man make answer with {Hebrew: knowledge of wind.}vain knowledge,And fill himself with the east wind?
Should he reason with unprofitable talk,Or with speeches wherewith he can do no good?
Yea, thou doest away with fear,And {Hebrew: diminishest.}hinderest {Or, meditation}devotion before God.
For {Or, thy mouth teacheth thine iniquity}thine iniquity teacheth thy mouth,And thou choosest the tongue of the crafty.
Thine own mouth condemneth thee, and not I;Yea, thine own lips testify against thee.
But I have understanding as well as you;I am not inferior to you:Yea, who knoweth not such things as these?
What ye know, the same do I know also:I am not inferior unto you.
Then the high priest rent his garments, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy: what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard the blasphemy:
Though I be righteous, mine own mouth shall condemn me:Though I be perfect, {Or, he}it shall prove me perverse.
