• 1 Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,

• 1 “If we try to commutate with you, will you become weary? But who can restrain himself from speaking?

• 1 Behold, you have instructed many, and you have strengthened the weak hands.

• 1 Your words have upheld him who was falling, and you have strengthened the feeble knees.

• 1 But now it is come upon you, and you are weary; it touches you, and you are troubled.

• 1 Is this not your admiration, your confidence, your hope, and the uprightness of your ways?

• 1 “Remember now, who ever perished being innocent? Or were the righteous ever cut off?

• 1 Even as I have seen, those who plow iniquity, and sow wickedness, reap the same.

• 1 By the blast of God they perish, and by the breath of His nostrils are they consumed.

• 10 The roaring of the lion, and the voice of the fierce lion, and the teeth of the young lions are broken.

• 1 The old lion perishes for lack of prey, and the cubs of the lioness are scattered.

• 1 “Now a thing was brought to me secretly, and my ear received a whisper of it.

• 1 During thoughts from the visions of the night, when deep sleep falls on men,

• 1 Fear came upon me, and trembling, which made all my bones shake.

• 15 Then a spirit passed before my face; the hair of my body stood up.

• 1 It stood still, but I could not discern its appearance. A shape was before my eyes; there was silence, and I heard a voice saying:

• 1 ‘Can a mortal man be more just than God? Can a man be more pure than his Maker?

• 1 Behold, if He put no trust in His servants, and He has charged His angels with fault,

• 1 How much less in them that dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, who are crushed before the moth?

• 1 They are destroyed from morning to evening: they perish forever without any regarding it.

• 21 Does not their own excellence in them go away? They die, even without wisdom.’
