[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 is come to you, and you
faint;	  It touches you, and you are troubled. [6] Isn`t your piety your
confidence,    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 whelps 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 the appearance
of it;	  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.`
