      | ¶ | Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said, | |
 | [If] we assay to commune with thee, wilt thou be grieved? but who can withhold himself from speaking? | ||
| Behold, thou hast instructed many, and thou hast strengthened the weak hands. | ||
| Thy words have upholden him that was falling, and thou hast strengthened the feeble knees. | ||
| But now it is come upon thee, and thou faintest; it toucheth thee, and thou art troubled. | ||
| [Is] not [this] thy fear, thy confidence, thy hope, and the uprightness of thy ways? | ||
| Remember, I pray thee, who [ever] perished, being innocent? or where were the righteous cut off? | ||
| Even as I have seen, they that plow iniquity, and sow wickedness, reap the same. | ||
| By the blast of God they perish, and by the breath of his nostrils are they consumed. | ||
| The roaring of the lion, and the voice of the fierce lion, and the teeth of the young lions, are broken. | ||
| The old lion perisheth for lack of prey, and the stout lion's whelps are scattered abroad. | ||
| ¶ | Now a thing was secretly brought to me, and mine ear received a little thereof. | |
| In thoughts from the visions of the night, when deep sleep falleth on men, | ||
| Fear came upon me, and trembling, which made all my bones to shake. | ||
| Then a spirit passed before my face; the hair of my flesh stood up: | ||
| It stood still, but I could not discern the form thereof: an image [was] before mine eyes, [there was] silence, and I heard a voice, [saying], | ||
| Shall mortal man be more just than God? shall a man be more pure than his maker? | ||
| Behold, he put no trust in his servants; and his angels he charged with folly: | ||
| How much less [in] them that dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation [is] in the dust, [which] are crushed before the moth? | ||
| They are destroyed from morning to evening: they perish for ever without any regarding [it]. | ||
| Doth not their excellency [which is] in them go away? they die, even without wisdom. |
