Job 15:3

⁶Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one.

³⁶I tell you that every idle word that men speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment. ³⁷For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”

¹Then Job answered, ²“How have you helped him who is without power! How have you saved the arm that has no strength! ³How have you counseled him who has no wisdom, and plentifully declared sound knowledge!

⁴But you are forgers of lies. You are all physicians of no value. ⁵Oh that you would be completely silent! Then you would be wise.

⁴he is conceited, knowing nothing, but obsessed with arguments, disputes, and word battles, from which come envy, strife, insulting, evil suspicions, ⁵constant friction of people of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth, who suppose that godliness is a means of gain. Withdraw yourself from such.

²“I have heard many such things. You are all miserable comforters! ³Shall vain words have an end? Or what provokes you that you answer?

¹³“Your words have been harsh against me,” says the LORD. “Yet you say, ‘What have we spoken against you?’ ¹⁴You have said, ‘It is vain to serve God,’ and ‘What profit is it that we have followed his instructions and that we have walked mournfully before the LORD of Armies? ¹⁵Now we call the proud happy; yes, those who work wickedness are built up; yes, they tempt God, and escape.’
