Job 4:1-9 ▼

1 Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite, and said,

2 If one assay to commune with thee, wilt thou be grieved? but who can withhold himself from speaking?

3 Behold, thou hast instructed many, and thou hast strengthened the weak hands.

4 Thy words have upholden him that was falling, and thou hast confirmed the feeble knees.

5 But now it is come unto thee, and thou faintest; it toucheth thee, and thou art troubled.

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

7 Remember, I pray thee, who ever perished, being innocent? or where were the upright cut off?

8 According as I have seen, they that plow iniquity, and sow trouble, reap the same.

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