Revision as of 03:47, 6 July 2010

• 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?

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

• 1 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.

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

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

• 1 In thoughts from the visions of the night, when deep sleep falleth on men,

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

• 1 Then a spirit passed before my face; the hair of my flesh stood up:

• 1 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?

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

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

• 1 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.
