| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2"Will you get offended if somebody tries to talk to you? Who can keep from speaking at a time like this? |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3Look! You've admonished many people, and you've strengthened feeble hands. |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4A word from you has supported those who have stumbled, and has strengthened faltering knees. |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5"But now it's your turn, and you're the one who is worn out! Now it's striking you, and you're dismayed! |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6"Your fear of God has been your confidence, hasn't it? The integrity of your life has been your hope, hasn't it? |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7Now please think: Who has ever perished when they're innocent? Where have the upright been destroyed? |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8It's been my experience that those who plow the soil of iniquity and those who sow the seed of trouble will reap their harvest! |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9They perish by the breath of God; they are consumed by the storm that is his anger. |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10"The lioness may roar, and the lion cub may growl; but even the ivory teeth of the full grown lion are broken. |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11Full grown lions die when they cannot find prey; that's when the lion cubs are scattered. |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12"A message was confided to me; my ear caught a whisper of it. |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13Disquieting thoughts from dreams at night; when deep sleep falls on everyone. |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14A fear fell upon me, along with trembling that caused all my bones to shake in terror. |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15A spirit glided past me and made the hair on my skin to bristle. |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16It remained standing, but I couldn't recognize its appearance. A form appeared before my eyes; At first there was silence, and then this voice: |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17Can a mortal person be more righteous than God? Or can the purity of the valiant exceed that of his maker?' |
| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18"Indeed, since he doesn't trust his servants, since he charges his angels with error, |
| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19how much less confidence does he have in those who dwell in houses of clay; who were formed from a foundation in dust and can perish like a moth? |
| 20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20They are defeated between morning and evening; they perish forever—and no one notices! |
| 21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21Their wealth perishes with them, doesn't it? They die, and do so without having wisdom, don't they?" |
