Eliphaz Reproves Job

 
Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered, +
"If someone ventures to talk with you, will you be grieved?But who can withhold himself from speaking? +
Behold, you have instructed many,you have strengthened the weak hands. +
Your words have supported him who was falling,You have made firm the feeble knees.
But now it has come to you, and you faint.It touches you, and you are troubled. +
Isn't your piety your confidence?Isn't the integrity of your ways your hope? +
"Remember, now, whoever perished, being innocent?Or where were the upright cut off?
According to what I have seen, those who plow iniquity,and sow trouble,reap the same. +
By the breath of God they perish.By the blast of his anger are they consumed. +
10 
The roaring of the lion,and the voice of the fierce lion,the teeth of the young lions, are broken. +
11 
The old lion perishes for lack of prey.The cubs of the lioness are scattered abroad.
12 
"Now a thing was secretly brought to me.My ear received a whisper of it. +
13 
In thoughts from the visions of the night,when deep sleep falls on men, +
14 
fear came on me, and trembling,which made all my bones shake.
15 
Then a spirit passed before my face.The hair of my flesh stood up.
16 
It stood still, but I couldn't discern its appearance.A form was before my eyes.Silence, then 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 puts no trust in his servants.He charges his angels with error. +
19 
How much more, those who dwell in houses of clay,whose foundation is in the dust,who are crushed before the moth! +
20 
Between morning and evening they are destroyed.They perish forever without any regarding it. +
21 
Isn't their tent cord plucked up within them?They die, and that without wisdom.' +
