¹ And Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said:² Shall one try a word with you, you who are weary? But who can hold back with words?³ Behold, you have instructed many; and you have made weak hands strong.⁴ Your words have upheld him who was falling, and you have made feeble knees strong.⁵ But now it has come upon you, and you faint. It touches you, and you are troubled.⁶ Is not your reverence your hope; your hope the uprightness of your ways?

⁷ I beg you, remember, Who ever perished, being innocent? Or where were the righteous cut off?⁸ As I have seen, the ones who plow iniquity and sow misery reap the same.⁹ They perish from the breath of God, and by the blast of His anger they are consumed.¹⁰ The lion roars; and the voice of the lion and the teeth of the young lions are broken;¹¹ the old lion is perishing for lack of prey; and the lioness' offspring are scattered.

¹² Now a word was stolen to me, and my ear received a whisper of it.¹³ In thoughts from the visions of the night, when deep sleep falls on men,¹⁴ fear and trembling met me, and made my many bones dread.¹⁵ Then a spirit passed before my face; the hair of my flesh stood up;¹⁶ it stood still, but I could not discern its form; an image was before my eyes; there was silence; then I heard a voice:¹⁷ Is man more righteous than God? Or a strong man be purer than his Maker?¹⁸ Behold, He puts no trust in His servants; and He charges His angels with folly!¹⁹ How much more those that dwell in houses of clay; whose foundation is in the dust; they crush them before the moth!²⁰ They are shattered from morning till evening; they perish forever with no one regarding.²¹ Is not their tent cord pulled up within them? They die, but not with wisdom.
