Eliphaz Speaks

4Then Eliphaz the Temanite replied:H464H8489H6030H559
2Should anyone try to speak with you when you are exhausted? Yet who can keep from speaking?H5254H1697H3811H3201H6113H4405
3Look! You have instructed many and have strengthened weak hands.H3256H7227H2388H7504H3027
4Your words have steadied the one who was stumbling, and braced the knees that were buckling.H4405H6965H3782H553H3766H1290
5But now that this has happened to you, you have become exhausted. It strikes you, and you are dismayed.H935H3811H5060H926
6Isn't your piety your confidence, and the integrity of your life your hope?H3374H3690H8615H8537H1870
7Consider: who has perished when he was innocent? Where have the honest been destroyed?H2142H6H5355H375H3477H3582
8In my experience, those who plow injustice and those who sow trouble reap the same.H7200H2790H205H2232H5999H7114
9They perish at a [single] blast from God and come to an end by the breath of His nostrils.H5397H433H6H7307H639H3615
10The lion may roar and the fierce lion growl, but the fangs of young lions are broken.H7581H738H6963H7826H8127H3715H5421
11The strong lion dies if [it catches] no prey, and the cubs of the lioness are scattered.H3918H6H1097H2964H3833H1121H6504
12A word was brought to me in secret; my ears caught a whisper of it.H1697H1589H241H3947H8102
13Among unsettling thoughts from visions in the night, when deep sleep descends on men,H5587H2384H3915H8639H5307H582
14fear and trembling came over me and made all my bones shake.H6343H7122H7461H7230H6106H6342
15A wind passed by me, and I shuddered with fear.H7307H2498H6440H8185H1320H5568
16[A figure] stood there, but I could not recognize its appearance; a form loomed before my eyes. I heard a quiet voice:H5975H5234H4758H8544H5869H1827H8085H6963
17"Can a person be more righteous than God, or a man more pure than his Maker?"H582H6663H433H1397H2891H6213
18If God puts no trust in His servants and He charges His angels with foolishness,H539H5650H4397H7760H8417
19how much more those who dwell in clay houses, whose foundation is in the dust, who are crushed like a moth!H637H7931H1004H2563H3247H6083H1792H6440H6211
20They are smashed to pieces from dawn to dusk; they perish forever while no one notices.H3807H1242H6153H6H5331H7760
21Are their tent cords not pulled up? They die without wisdom.H3499H5265H4191H2451
