1 - Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered,

2 - "If someone ventures to talk with you, will you be grieved?But who can withhold himself from speaking?

3 - Behold, you have instructed many,you have strengthened the weak hands.

4 - Your words have supported him who was falling,You have made firm the feeble knees.

5 - But now it has come to you, and you faint.It touches you, and you are troubled.

6 - Isn't your piety your confidence?Isn't the integrity of your ways your hope?

7 - "Remember, now, whoever perished, being innocent?Or where were the upright cut off?

8 - According to what I have seen, those who plow iniquity,and sow trouble,reap the same.

9 - By the breath of God they perish.By the blast of his anger are they consumed.

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

11 - The old lion perishes for lack of prey.The cubs of the lioness are scattered abroad.

12 - "Now a thing was secretly brought to me.My ear received a whisper of it.

13 - In thoughts from the visions of the night,when deep sleep falls on men,

14 - fear came on me, and trembling,which made all my bones shake.

15 - Then a spirit passed before my face.The hair of my flesh stood up.

16 - It stood still, but I couldn't discern its appearance.A form was before my eyes.Silence, then I heard a voice, saying,

17 - 'Shall mortal man be more just than God?Shall a man be more pure than his Maker?

18 - Behold, he puts no trust in his servants.He charges his angels with error.

19 - How much more, those who dwell in houses of clay,whose foundation is in the dust,who are crushed before the moth!

20 - Between morning and evening they are destroyed.They perish forever without any regarding it.

21 - Isn't their tent cord plucked up within them?They die, and that without wisdom.'
