Job 4:1-9 ▼

1 Then Eliphaz the Temanite responded,

2 “If one ventures a word with you, will you become impatient? But who can refrain from speaking?

3 “Behold, you have taught many, And you have strengthened weak hands.

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

5 “But now it comes to you, and you are impatient; It touches you, and you are horrified.

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

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

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

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