Then EliphazH464 the TemaniteH8489 answeredH6030 and said,H559
2
If we assayH5254 to communeH1697 with you, will you be grieved?H3811 but whoH4310 canH3201 withholdH6113 himself from speaking?H4405
3
Behold,H2009 you have instructedH3256 many,H7227 and you have strengthenedH2388 the weakH7504 hands.H3027
4
Your wordsH4405 have upheldH6965 him that was falling,H3782 and you have strengthenedH553 the feebleH3766 knees.H1290
5
But nowH6258 it is comeH935 on you, and you faint;H3811 it touchesH5060 you, and you are troubled.H926
6
Is not this your fear,H3374 your confidence,H3690 your hope,H8615 and the uprightnessH8537 of your ways?H1870
7
Remember,H2142 I prayH4994 you, whoH4310 ever perished,H6 being innocent?H5355 or whereH375 were the righteousH6662 cutH3582 off?
8
Even as I have seen,H7200 they that plowH2790 iniquity,H205 and sowH2232 wickedness,H5999 reapH7114 the same.
9
By the blastH5397 of GodH433 they perish,H6 and by the breathH7307 of his nostrilsH639 are they consumed.H3615
10
The roaringH7581 of the lion,H738 and the voiceH6963 of the fierceH7826 lion,H7826 and the teethH8127 of the youngH3715 lions,H3715 are broken.H5421
11
The old lionH3918 perishesH6 for lackH1097 of prey,H2964 and the stout lion'sH3833 whelpsH1121 are scatteredH6504 abroad.H6504
12
Now a thingH1697 was secretlyH1589 broughtH1589 to me, and my earH241 receivedH3947 a littleH8102 thereof.
13
In thoughtsH5587 from the visionsH2384 of the night,H3915 when deepH8639 sleepH8639 fallsH5307 onH5921 men,H582
14
FearH6343 cameH7122 on me, and trembling,H7460 which made allH7230 my bonesH6106 to shake.H6342
15
Then a spiritH7307 passedH2498 beforeH5921 my face;H6440 the hairH8185 of my fleshH1320 stoodH5568 up:
16
It stoodH5975 still, but I could not discernH5234 the formH4758 thereof: an imageH8544 was beforeH5048 my eyes,H5869 there was silence,H1827 and I heardH8085 a voice,H6963 saying,
17
Shall mortalH582 manH582 be more justH6663 than God?H433 shall a manH1400 be more pureH2891 than his maker?H6213
18
Behold,H2005 he put noH3808 trustH539 in his servants;H5650 and his angelsH4397 he chargedH7760 with folly:H8417
19
HowH637 muchH637 less in them that dwellH7931 in housesH1004 of clay,H2563 whoseH834 foundationH3247 is in the dust,H6083 which are crushedH1792 beforeH6440 the moth?H6211
20
They are destroyedH3807 from morningH1242 to evening:H6153 they perishH6 for everH5331 without any regardingH7760 it.
21
Does not their excellencyH3499 which is in them goH5265 away?H5265 they die,H4191 even withoutH3808 wisdom.H2451
