Job 15:2

¹ Then Eliphaz the Temanite replied:

“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.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
