1 Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite, and said,
2 If one assay to commune with thee, wilt thou be grieved?
3 Behold, thou hast instructed many,
4 Thy words have upholden him that was falling,
5 But now it is come unto thee, and thou faintest;
6 Is not thy fear
7 Remember, I pray thee, who
8 According as I have seen, they that plow iniquity,
9 By the breath of God they perish,
10 The roaring of the lion, and the voice of the fierce lion,
11 The old lion perisheth for lack of prey,
12 Now a thing was secretly brought to me,
13 In thoughts from the visions of the night,
14 Fear came upon me, and trembling,
15 Then a spirit passed before my face;
16 It stood still, but I could not discern the appearance thereof;
17 Shall mortal man be more just than God?
18 Behold, he putteth no trust in his servants;
19 How much more them that dwell in houses of clay,
20 Betwixt morning and evening they are destroyed:
21 Is not their tent-cord plucked up within them?
