  • Proverbs 26:4–5 (structural): These proverbs reflect on the limits and potential harm of speech when addressing folly — thematically related to Job 15:3's claim that words are ineffectual and may fail to correct or persuade.
  • Jeremiah 6:10 (thematic): God laments that prophetic warning meets deaf ears ('to whom shall I speak...that they hear?'), paralleling the theme that spoken rebuke or instruction can be ineffectual.

Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said:

Shall a wise man answer with empty notions, and fill his belly with the east wind?

Reproof with words will not be listened to; speech will do him no good.

You yourself tear away reverence and cut off discourse before God.

For your mouth teaches your iniquity, and you choose the tongue of the crafty.

Your own mouth will condemn you, not I; your lips will testify against you.

Were you the first of men, born before the hills?

Have you heard the secret counsel of God, and kept wisdom for yourself alone?

What have you known that we do not know? What have you understood that is not with us?

Are there not elders among us—men of experience—even those older than your father?

Does God give you few consolations, and a brief word only to you?

What is it your heart takes hold of, and what is that gleam in your eyes?

For you would lift your spirit against God and put forth words from your mouth.

What is man that he should be pure? Or a mortal born of woman that he should be righteous?

Behold, even his holy ones he does not trust; the heavens are not pure in his sight.

How much less one who is abhorred and base—one who drinks up wrongdoing like water!

Hear now my rebuke; give ear to what I have seen and will declare.

What the wise have spoken I will relate, and they did not hide it from their fathers.

To them alone the earth was given; no stranger passed among them.
