וַיַּעַן אֱלִיפַז הַֽתֵּימָנִי וַיֹּאמַֽר
Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite, and said:
הֶֽחָכָם יַעֲנֶה דַֽעַת־רוּחַ וִֽימַלֵּא קָדִים בִּטְנֽוֹ
Should a wise man make answer with windy knowledge, And fill his belly with the east wind?
הוֹכֵחַ בְּדָבָר לֹא יִסְכּוֹן וּמִלִּים לֹא־יוֹעִיל בָּֽם
Should he reason with unprofitable talk, Or with speeches wherewith he can do no good?
אַף־אַתָּה תָּפֵר יִרְאָה וְתִגְרַע שִׂיחָה לִפְנֵי־אֵֽל
Yea, thou doest away with fear, And impairest devotion before God.
כִּי יְאַלֵּף עֲוֺנְךָ פִיךָ וְתִבְחַר לְשׁוֹן עֲרוּמִֽים
For thine iniquity teacheth thy mouth, And thou choosest the tongue of the crafty.
