2 "Should a wise man answer with vain knowledge, And fill himself with the east wind?
3 Should he reason with unprofitable talk, Or with speeches with which he can do no good?
4 Yes, you do away with fear, And hinder devotion before God.
5 For your iniquity teaches your mouth, And you choose the language of the crafty.
6 Your own mouth condemns you, and not I; Yes, your own lips testify against you.
7 "Are you the first man who was born? Or were you brought forth before the hills?
