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

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

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',

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite, and said,

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