“That thou turnest thy spirit against God, and lettest such words go out of thy mouth?”
"That you turn your spirit against God and let such words go out of your mouth?" Eliphaz defines Job's complaint as a turning-away from God, a spiritual rejection. The words that Job speaks are presented as emanating from a turned spirit—a being whose fundamental orientation is away from rather than toward the divine. This verse treats Job's argument as moral choice rather than intellectual necessity.
