Behold, he putteth no trust in his servants; And his angels he chargeth with folly:

Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite, and said,

Shall mortal man be more just than God? Shall a man be more pure than his Maker?

Behold, thou hast instructed many, And thou hast strengthened the weak hands.

It stood still, but I could not discern the appearance thereof; A form was before mine eyes: There was' silence, and I heard a voice, saying',

The old lion perisheth for lack of prey, And the whelps of the lioness are scattered abroad.

The roaring of the lion, and the voice of the fierce lion, And the teeth of the young lions, are broken.

Remember, I pray thee, who `ever' perished, being innocent? Or where were the upright cut off?

According as I have seen, they that plow iniquity, And sow trouble, reap the same.

If one assay to commune with thee, wilt thou be grieved? But who can withhold himself from speaking?

Fear came upon me, and trembling, Which made all my bones to shake.

Is not thy fear of God' thy confidence, And' the integrity of thy ways thy hope?

Thy words have upholden him that was falling, And thou hast made firm the feeble knees.

Then a spirit passed before my face; The hair of my flesh stood up.

Now a thing was secretly brought to me, And mine ear received a whisper thereof.

How much more them that dwell in houses of clay, Whose foundation is in the dust, Who are crushed before the moth!

In thoughts from the visions of the night, When deep sleep falleth on men,

But now it is come unto thee, and thou faintest; It toucheth thee, and thou art troubled.

Betwixt morning and evening they are destroyed: They perish for ever without any regarding it.

Is not their tent-cord plucked up within them? They die, and that without wisdom.

By the breath of God they perish, And by the blast of his anger are they consumed.
