verses:

1. Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,

2. If we assay to commune with thee, wilt thou be grieved? but who can withhold himself from speaking?

3. Behold, thou hast instructed many, and thou hast strengthened the weak hands.

4. Thy words have upholden him that was falling, and thou hast strengthened the feeble knees.

5. But now it is come upon thee, and thou faintest; it toucheth thee, and thou art troubled.

6. Is not this thy fear, thy confidence, thy hope, and the uprightness of thy ways?

7. Remember, I pray thee, who ever perished, being innocent? or where were the righteous cut off?

8. Even as I have seen, they that plow iniquity, and sow wickedness, reap the same.

9. By the blast of God they perish, and by the breath of his nostrils are they consumed.

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

11. The old lion perisheth for lack of prey, and the stout lion's whelps are scattered abroad.

12. Now a thing was secretly brought to me, and mine ear received a little thereof.

13. In thoughts from the visions of the night, when deep sleep falleth on men,

14. Fear came upon me, and trembling, which made all my bones to shake.

15. Then a spirit passed before my face; the hair of my flesh stood up:

16. 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,

17. Shall mortal man be more just than God? shall a man be more pure than his maker?

18. Behold, he put no trust in his servants; and his angels he charged with folly:

19. How much less in them that dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, which are crushed before the moth?

20. They are destroyed from morning to evening: they perish for ever without any regarding it.

21. Doth not their excellency which is in them go away? they die, even without wisdom.

verses:

1. And Eliphaz the Temanite answereth and saith: --

2. Hath one tried a word with thee? -- Thou art weary! And to keep in words who is able?

3. Lo, thou hast instructed many, And feeble hands thou makest strong.

4. The stumbling one do thy words raise up, And bowing knees thou dost strengthen.

5. But now, it cometh in unto thee, And thou art weary; It striketh unto thee, and thou art troubled.

6. Is not thy reverence thy confidence? Thy hope -- the perfection of thy ways?

7. Remember, I pray thee, Who, being innocent, hath perished? And where have the upright been cut off?

8. As I have seen -- ploughers of iniquity, And sowers of misery, reap it!

9. From the breath of God they perish, And from the spirit of His anger consumed.

10. The roaring of a lion, And the voice of a fierce lion, And teeth of young lions have been broken.

11. An old lion is perishing without prey, And the whelps of the lioness do separate.

12. And unto me a thing is secretly brought, And receive doth mine ear a little of it.

13. In thoughts from visions of the night, In the falling of deep sleep on men,

14. Fear hath met me, and trembling, And the multitude of my bones caused to fear.

15. And a spirit before my face doth pass, Stand up doth the hair of my flesh;

16. It standeth, and I discern not its aspect, A similitude [is] over-against mine eyes, Silence! and a voice I hear:

17. `Is mortal man than God more righteous? Than his Maker is a man cleaner?

18. Lo, in His servants He putteth no credence, Nor in His messengers setteth praise.'

19. Also -- the inhabitants of houses of clay, (Whose foundation [is] in the dust, They bruise them before a moth.)

20. From morning to evening are beaten down, Without any regarding, for ever they perish.

21. Hath not their excellency been removed with them? They die, and not in wisdom!
