41Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered,+2“If someone ventures to talk with you, will you be grieved?But who can withhold himself from speaking?+3Behold, you have instructed many,you have strengthened the weak hands.+4Your words have supported him who was falling,You have made firm the feeble knees.+5But now it has come to you, and you faint.It touches you, and you are troubled.+6Isn’t your piety your confidence?Isn’t the integrity of your ways your hope?+7“Remember, now, whoever perished, being innocent?Or where were the upright cut off?+8According to what I have seen, those who plow iniquity,and sow trouble,reap the same.+9By the breath of God they perish.By the blast of his anger are they consumed.+10The roaring of the lion,and the voice of the fierce lion,the teeth of the young lions, are broken.+11The 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.+13In thoughts from the visions of the night,when deep sleep falls on men,+14fear came on me, and trembling,which made all my bones shake.+15Then a spirit passed before my face.The hair of my flesh stood up.+16It 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?+18Behold, he puts no trust in his servants.He charges his angels with error.+19How much more, those who dwell in houses of clay,whose foundation is in the dust,who are crushed before the moth!+20Between morning and evening they are destroyed.They perish forever without any regarding it.+21Isn’t their tent cord plucked up within them?They die, and that without wisdom.’+
