41And Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,+2If a word were essayed to thee, wouldest thou be grieved? But who can refrain from speaking?+3Behold, thou hast instructed many, and thou hast strengthened the weak hands;+4Thy words have upholden him that was stumbling, and thou hast braced up the bending knees:+5But now it is come upon thee, and thou grievest; it toucheth thee, and thou art troubled.+6Hath not thy piety been thy confidence, and the perfection of thy ways thy hope?+7Remember, I pray thee, who that was innocent has perished? and where were the upright cut off?+8Even as I have seen, they that plough iniquity and sow mischief, reap the same.+9By the breath ofGod they perish, and by the blast of his nostrils are they consumed.+10The roar of the lion, and the voice of the fierce lion, and the teeth of the young lions, are broken;+11The old lion perisheth for lack of prey, and the whelps of the lioness are scattered.+12Now to me a word was secretly brought, and mine ear received a whisper thereof.+13In thoughts from visions of the night, when deep sleep falleth on men: —+14Fear came on me, and trembling, and made all my bones to shake;+15And a spirit passed before my face — the hair of my flesh stood up —+16It stood still; I could not discern the appearance thereof: a form was before mine eyes; I heard a slight murmur and a voice:+17Shall [mortal] man be more just thanGod? Shall a man be purer than his Maker?+18Lo, he trusteth not his servants, and his angels he chargeth with folly:+19How much more them that dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, who are crushed as the moth!+20From morning to evening are they smitten: without any heeding it, they perish for ever.+21Is not their tent-cord torn away in them? they die, and without wisdom.+
