Job 4:1-9 ▼

1 Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,

2 “If one tries a word with you, will you become weary? But who can hold back from speaking?

3 Behold, you have disciplined many, And you have strengthened limp hands.

4 Your words have helped the stumbling to stand, And you have encouraged feeble knees.

5 But now it has come to you, and you are impatient; It touches you, and you are dismayed.

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

7 “Remember now, who ever perished being innocent? Or where were the upright wiped out?

8 According to what I have seen, those who plow wickedness And those who sow trouble harvest it.

9 By the breath of God they perish, And by the wind of His anger they come to an end.
