King James Version
And
Eliphaz the Temanite answereth
and saith:
--
Then
Eliphaz the Temanite answered
and said,
Hath
one
tried
a
word
with thee ?
--
Thou art
weary!
And
to
keep
in
words
who is
able
?
If
we
assay
to
commune
with thee ,
wilt
thou be
grieved?
but
who can
withhold
himself
from
speaking
?
Lo
, thou hast instructed many, And feeble
hands
thou makest
strong
.
Behold
, thou hast instructed many, and thou hast
strengthened
the
weak
hands
.
The
stumbling
one
do
thy words raise
up
, And bowing
knees
thou dost
strengthen
.
Thy words have
upholden
him
that
was
falling
, and thou hast
strengthened
the
feeble
knees
.
But now ,
it cometh
in
unto
thee, And thou art
weary
; It striketh
unto
thee, and thou art troubled.
But now it is
come
upon
thee, and thou faintest
; it toucheth
thee, and thou art troubled.
Is not thy reverence
thy confidence ?
Thy hope --
the perfection
of thy ways?
Is not this
thy fear,
thy confidence ,
thy hope ,
and
the uprightness
of thy ways?
Remember, I pray thee, Who, being innocent ,
hath
perished
? And
where have
the upright
been
cut off?
Remember, I pray thee, who ever
perished
, being innocent? or
where were
the righteous
cut off?
As I have seen --
ploughers
of
iniquity, And sowers
of
misery
, reap it!
Even
as I have seen ,
they
that
plow
iniquity, and sow
wickedness
, reap the
same.
From
the breath
of God they perish, And from
the spirit
of His anger
consumed.
By
the blast
of God they perish, and by
the breath
of his nostrils
are
they
consumed.
The roaring of a
lion, And the voice of a
fierce lion, And teeth of young lions have
been
broken.
The roaring of the
lion, and the voice of the
fierce lion, and the
teeth of the
young lions ,
are
broken.
An
old lion is
perishing
without
prey, And the whelps of
the
lioness
do
separate
.
The
old lion perisheth
for
lack
of
prey, and the stout
lion's
whelps are
scattered
abroad
.
And
unto
me
a thing is
secretly brought, And receive
doth
mine ear a little of
it
.
Now
a thing was
secretly brought to
me
, and mine ear received
a little thereof
.
In thoughts from visions of the night, In
the
falling
of
deep sleep on men,
In thoughts from the
visions of the night, when
deep sleep falleth
on men,
Fear hath
met
me, and trembling, And
the
multitude
of
my bones caused
to fear
.
Fear came
upon
me, and trembling, which
made
all
my bones to shake
.
And
a spirit before my face doth
pass,
Stand
up
doth
the hair of my flesh ;
Then
a spirit passed
before my face ;
the hair of my flesh stood
up:
It standeth
, and
I discern
not its
aspect,
A
similitude
`is'
over-against
mine eyes, Silence !
and a voice I
hear:
It stood
still
, but
I could
not discern
the
form
thereof:
an
image
was
before
mine eyes, there
was
silence ,
and I
heard
a voice ,
saying,
`Is
mortal man than God more
righteous
? Than his Maker is
a
man
cleaner
?
Shall
mortal man be
more
just
than God? shall
a
man
be
more
pure
than his maker?
Lo
, in
His
servants
He putteth
no credence,
Nor
in His messengers
setteth
praise.'
Behold
, he put
no trust
in his servants;
and
his
angels
he
charged
with
folly:
Also
--
the
inhabitants
of
houses of clay, (
Whose foundation `
is '
in the dust, They
bruise
them
before a
moth .)
How
much
less
in
them
that
dwell
in
houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, which
are
crushed
before the
moth ?
From morning to evening are
beaten
down,
Without any regarding ,
for
ever
they
perish
.
They
are
destroyed
from morning to evening :
they
perish
for
ever
without any regarding it
.
Hath
not their excellency been
removed
with
them? They die, and
not
in
wisdom !
Doth
not their excellency which
is
in
them go
away
? they die, even
without
wisdom .
