Job 4:1-11 ▼

1 And Eliphaz the Temanite will answer and say,

2 Trying the word to thee shalt thou be weary? who shall be able to with hold in speaking?

3 Behold, thou didst instruct many, and thou wilt strengthen the weak hands.

4 Thy words will raise up the weak and thou wilt strengthen the bent knees.

5 But now it shall come to thee and thou wilt be wearied; it will touch even to thee, and thou wilt tremble.

6 Is not thy fear, thy confidence, thy hope, and the integrity of thy ways?

7 Remember now, who perished, he being innocent? and where were the upright cut off?

8 According to what I saw, they ploughing iniquity and sowing labor shall reap it.

9 By the breath of God they shall perish, and from the spirit of his anger they shall be finished.

10 The roaring of the lion, and the voice of the lion, and the teeth of the young lions were broken.

11 The lion perished from failure of prey, and the sons of the lioness shall be scattered.
