## Text

[1] Then Eliphaz the Temanite replied: [2] “If one ventures a word with you, will you be wearied?
Yet who can keep from speaking? [3] Surely you have instructed many,
and have strengthened their feeble hands. [4] Your words have steadied those who stumbled;
you have braced the knees that were buckling. [5] But now trouble has come upon you, and you are weary.
It strikes you, and you are dismayed. [6] Is your reverence not your confidence,
and the uprightness of your ways your hope? [7] Consider now, I plead:
Who, being innocent, has ever perished?
Or where have the upright been destroyed? [8] As I have observed, 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] The lion may roar, and the fierce lion may growl,
yet the teeth of the young lions are broken. [11] The old lion perishes for lack of prey,
and the cubs of the lioness are scattered. [12] Now a word came to me secretly;
my ears caught a whisper of it. [13] In disquieting visions in the night,
when deep sleep falls on men, [14] fear and trembling came over me
and made all my bones shudder. [15] Then a spirit glided past my face,
and the hair on my body bristled. [16] It stood still,
but I could not discern its appearance;
a form loomed before my eyes,
and I heard a whispering voice: [17] ‘Can a mortal be more righteous than God,
or a man more pure than his Maker? [18] If God puts no trust in His servants,
and He charges His angels with error, [19] how much more those who dwell in houses of clay,
whose foundations are in the dust,
who can be crushed like a moth! [20] They are smashed to pieces from dawn to dusk;
unnoticed, they perish forever. [21] Are not their tent cords pulled up,
so that they die without wisdom?’
