\v 1 Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 2 If anyone tries to speak with you, will you be grieved?
|
|
\q But who can stop himself from speaking?
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 3 See, you have instructed many;
|
|
\q you have strengthened weak hands.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 4 Your words have supported him who was falling,
|
|
\q you have made feeble knees firm.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 5 But now trouble has come to you, and you faint;
|
|
\q it touches you, and you are troubled.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 6 Should not your fear of God give you confidence?
|
|
\q Should not the integrity of your ways give you hope?
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 7 Think about this, I beg you: who has ever perished when innocent?
|
|
\q Or when was the upright person ever cut off?
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 8 Based on what I have observed, those who plow iniquity
|
|
\q and sow trouble, reap the same.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 9 By the breath of God they perish;
|
|
\q by the blast of his anger they are consumed.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 10 The roaring of the lion, the voice of the fierce lion,
|
|
\q the teeth of the young lions—they are broken.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 11 The old lion perishes for lack of victims;
|
|
\q the cubs of the lioness are scattered everywhere.

\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 12 Now a certain matter was secretly brought to me;
|
|
\q my ear received a whisper about it.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 13 In thoughts from visions in the night,
|
|
\q when deep sleep falls on people.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 14 Fear and trembling came on me,
|
|
\q and made all my bones shake.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 15 Then a spirit passed before my face;
|
|
\q the hair of my flesh stood up.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 16 The spirit stood still, but I could not discern its appearance.
|
|
\q A form was before my eyes;
|
|
\q there was silence, and I heard a voice that said,
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 17 "Can a mortal man be more righteous than God?
|
|
\q Can a man be more pure than his Maker?
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 18 See, if God puts no trust in his servants;
|
|
\q if he accuses his angels of folly,
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 19 how much more is this true of those who live in houses of clay,
|
|
\q whose foundation is in the dust,
|
|
\q who are crushed sooner than a moth?
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 20 Between morning and evening they are destroyed;
|
|
\q they perish forever without anyone noticing them.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 21 Are not their tent cords plucked up among them?
|
|
\q They die; they die without wisdom.
