Job 4:1-9 ▼

1 And Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said:

2 “Should one try a word with you, will you be wearied? And who is able to be restrained from a word?

3 Behold, you have instructed many, and you have strengthened hands that are weak.

4 The one stumbling, your words, and bent knees you have strengthened.

5 But now it has come to you, and you are weary; it touches unto you, and you are disturbed.

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

7 Remember please: Who is he who has perished being innocent? And where have the upright been cut off?

8 According to what I have seen, those plowing iniquity and sowing trouble—they shall reap it.

9 By the breath of God they perish, and by the blast of his nose they are consumed.
