1
|
Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered: |
2
|
"If someone should attempt a word with you, will you be impatient? But who can refrain from speaking? |
3
|
Look, you have instructed many; you have strengthened feeble hands. |
4
|
Your words have supported those who stumbled, and you have strengthened the knees that gave way. |
5
|
But now the same thing comes to you, and you are discouraged; it strikes you, and you are terrified. |
6
|
Is not your piety your confidence, and your blameless ways your hope? |
7
|
Call to mind now: Who, being innocent, ever perished? And where were upright people ever destroyed? |
8
|
Even as I have seen, those who plow iniquity and those who sow trouble reap the same. |
9
|
By the breath of God they perish, and by the blast of his anger they are consumed. |
10
|
There is the roaring of the lion and the growling of the young lion, but the teeth of the young lions are broken. |

|

12
|
"Now a word was secretly brought to me, and my ear caught a whisper of it. |
13
|
In the troubling thoughts of the dreams in the night when a deep sleep falls on men, |
14
|
a trembling gripped me— and a terror!— and made all my bones shake. |
15
|
Then a breath of air passes by my face; it makes the hair of my flesh stand up. |
16
|
It stands still, but I cannot recognize its appearance; an image is before my eyes, and I hear a murmuring voice: |
17
|
"Is a mortal man righteous before God? Or a man pure before his Creator? |
18
|
If God puts no trust in his servants and attributes folly to his angels, |
19
|
how much more to those who live in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, who are crushed like a moth? |
20
|
They are destroyed between morning and evening; they perish forever without anyone regarding it. |
21
|
Is not their excess wealth taken away from them? They die, yet without attaining wisdom. |
