JOB 15:1-19
1Then Eliphaz the Temanite replied: 2“Does a wise man answer with empty counsel or fill his belly with the hot east wind? 3Should he argue with useless words or speeches that serve no purpose? 4But you even undermine the fear of God and hinder meditation before Him. 5For your iniquity instructs your mouth, and you choose the language of the crafty. 6Your own mouth, not mine, condemns you; your own lips testify against you. 7Were you the first man ever born? Were you brought forth before the hills? 8Do you listen in on the council of God or limit wisdom to yourself? 9What do you know that we do not? What do you understand that is not clear to us? 10Both the gray-haired and the aged are on our side— men much older than your father. 11Are the consolations of God not enough for you, even words spoken gently to you? 12Why has your heart carried you away, and why do your eyes flash, 13so that you turn your spirit against God and pour such words from your mouth? 14What is man, that he should be pure, or one born of woman, that he should be righteous? 15If God puts no trust in His holy ones, if even the heavens are not pure in His eyes, 16how much less man, who is vile and corrupt, who drinks injustice like water? 17Listen to me and I will inform you. I will describe what I have seen, 18what was declared by wise men and was not concealed from their fathers, 19to whom alone the land was given when no foreigner passed among them.
Secondary reading — PSA 108:1-13
1My heart is steadfast, O God; I will sing and make music with all my being. 2Awake, O harp and lyre! I will awaken the dawn. 3I will praise You, O LORD, among the nations; I will sing Your praises among the peoples. 4For Your loving devotion extends beyond the heavens, and Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds. 5Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; may Your glory cover all the earth. 6Respond and save us with Your right hand, that Your beloved may be delivered. 7God has spoken from His sanctuary: “I will triumph! I will parcel out Shechem and apportion the Valley of Succoth. 8Gilead is Mine, and Manasseh is Mine; Ephraim is My helmet, Judah is My scepter. 9Moab is My washbasin; upon Edom I toss My sandal; over Philistia I shout in triumph.” 10Who will bring me to the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom? 11Have You not rejected us, O God? Will You no longer march out, O God, with our armies? 12Give us aid against the enemy, for the help of man is worthless. 13With God we will perform with valor, and He will trample our enemies.
