For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because you have rejected the Word of Jehovah, He also has rejected you from being king.

If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land.

But if you refuse and rebel, you shall be devoured with the sword; for the mouth of Jehovah has spoken.

Men shall clap their hands at him, and shall hiss him out of his place.

How long will you speak these things, and the words of your mouth be like a strong wind?

Does the Mighty God pervert justice? Or does the Almighty pervert righteousness?

Should not the multitude of words be answered? And should a man giving lip be justified?

Should your empty talk make men hold their peace? And when you mock, should no one make you ashamed?

Do you think this is just? Do you say, I am more righteous than the Mighty God?

For you say, What advantage will it be to You? What profit shall I have, more than if I had sinned?

therefore Job opens his mouth in vain; he multiplies words without knowledge.

And so it was, after Jehovah had spoken these words to Job, that Jehovah said to Eliphaz the Temanite, My wrath has been kindled against you and your two friends, for you have not spoken of Me what is right, as My servant Job has.
