Job 4:1-9 ▼

1 And Eliphaz the Temanite answers and says:

2 “Has one tried a word with you? You are weary! And who is able to keep in words?

3 Behold, you have instructed many, || And feeble hands you make strong.

4 Your words raise up the stumbling one, || And you strengthen bowing knees.

5 But now, it comes to you, || And you are weary; It strikes to you, and you are troubled.

6 Is your reverence not your confidence? Your hope—the perfection of your ways?

7 Now remember, || Who, being innocent, has perished? And where have the upright been cut off?

8 As I have seen—plowers of iniquity, || And sowers of misery, reap it!

9 From the breath of God they perish, || And from the spirit of His anger [are] consumed.
