Eliphaz Speaks: Job Has Sinned

4Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered:H464H8489H6030H559 2"If one ventures a word with you, will you be offended? But who can keep from speaking?H5254H1697H3811H3201H6113H4405 3See, you have instructed many; you have strengthened the weak hands.H3256H7227H2388H7504H3027 4Your words have supported those who were stumbling, and you have made firm the feeble knees.H4405H6965H3782H553H3766H1290 5But now it has come to you, and you are impatient; it touches you, and you are dismayed.H935H3811H5060H926 6Is not your fear of God your confidence, and the integrity of your ways your hope?H3374H3690H8615H8537H1870 7"Think now, who that was innocent ever perished? Or where were the upright cut off?H2142H6H5355H375H3477H3582 8As I have seen, those who plow iniquity and sow trouble reap the same.H7200H2790H205H2232H5999H7114 9By the breath of God they perish, and by the blast of his anger they are consumed.H5397H433H6H7307H639H3615 10The roar of the lion, the voice of the fierce lion, and the teeth of the young lions are broken.H7581H738H6963H7826H8127H3715H5421 11The strong lion perishes for lack of prey, and the whelps of the lioness are scattered.H3918H6H1097H2964H3833H1121H6504 12"Now a word came stealing to me, my ear received the whisper of it.H1697H1589H241H3947H8102 13Amid thoughts from visions of the night, when deep sleep falls on mortals,H5587H2384H3915H8639H5307H582 14dread came upon me, and trembling, which made all my bones shake.H6343H7122H7461H7230H6106H6342 15A spirit glided past my face; the hair of my flesh bristled.H7307H2498H6440H8185H1320H5568 16It stood still, but I could not discern its appearance. A form was before my eyes; there was silence, then I heard a voice:H5975H5234H4758H8544H5869H1827H8085H6963 17'Can mortals be righteous before God? Can human beings be pure before their Maker?H582H6663H433H1397H2891H6213 18Even in his servants he puts no trust, and his angels he charges with error;H539H5650H4397H7760H8417 19how much more those who live in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, who are crushed like a moth.H637H7931H1004H2563H3247H6083H1792H6440H6211 20Between morning and evening they are destroyed; they perish forever without any regarding it.H3807H1242H6153H6H5331H7760 21Their tent-cord is plucked up within them, and they die devoid of wisdom.'H3499H5265H4191H2451
