4Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said:H464H8489H6030H5592"If one ventures a word with you, will you be impatient? Yet who can keep from speaking?H5254H1697H3811H3201H6113H44053Behold, you have instructed many, and you have strengthened the weak hands.H3256H7227H2388H7504H30274Your words have upheld him who was stumbling, and you have made firm the feeble knees.H4405H6965H3782H553H3766H12905But now it has come to you, and you are impatient; it touches you, and you are dismayed.H935H3811H5060H9266Is not your fear of God your confidence, and the integrity of your ways your hope?H3374H3690H8615H8537H18707"Remember: who that was innocent ever perished? Or where were the upright cut off?H2142H6H5355H375H3477H35828As I have seen, those who plow iniquity and sow trouble reap the same.H7200H2790H205H2232H5999H71149By the breath of God they perish, and by the blast of his anger they are consumed.H5397H433H6H7307H639H361510The roar of the lion, the voice of the fierce lion, the teeth of the young lions are broken.H7581H738H6963H7826H8127H3715H542111The strong lion perishes for lack of prey, and the cubs of the lioness are scattered.H3918H6H1097H2964H3833H1121H650412"Now a word was brought to me stealthily; my ear received the whisper of it.H1697H1589H241H3947H810213Amid thoughts from visions of the night, when deep sleep falls on men,H5587H2384H3915H8639H5307H58214dread came upon me, and trembling, which made all my bones shake.H6343H7122H7461H7230H6106H634215A spirit glided past my face; the hair of my flesh stood up.H7307H2498H6440H8185H1320H556816It stood still, but I could not discern its appearance. A form was before my eyes; there was silence, then I heard a voice:H5975H5234H4758H8544H5869H1827H8085H696317'Can mortal man be in the right before God? Can a man be pure before his Maker?H582H6663H433H1397H2891H621318Even in his servants he puts no trust, and his angels he charges with error;H539H5650H4397H7760H841719how much more those who dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, who are crushed like the moth.H637H7931H1004H2563H3247H6083H1792H6440H621120Between morning and evening they are beaten to pieces; they perish forever without anyone regarding it.H3807H1242H6153H6H5331H776021Is not their tent-cord plucked up within them, do they not die, and that without wisdom?'H3499H5265H4191H2451
