Then EliphazH464 the TemaniteH8489 answeredH6030 and saidH559,
If we assayH5254 to communeH1697 with thee, wilt thou be grievedH3811? but who canH3201 withholdH6113 himself from speakingH4405? {to…: Heb. a word} {withhold…: Heb. refrain from words?}
Behold, thou hast instructedH3256 manyH7227, and thou hast strengthenedH2388 the weakH7504 handsH3027.
Thy wordsH4405 have upholdenH6965 him that was fallingH3782, and thou hast strengthenedH553 the feebleH3766 kneesH1290.
But now it is comeH935 upon thee, and thou faintestH3811; it touchethH5060 thee, and thou art troubledH926.
Is not this thy fearH3374, thy confidenceH3690, thy hopeH8615, and the uprightnessH8537 of thy waysH1870?
RememberH2142, I pray thee, who ever perishedH6, being innocentH5355? or whereH375 were the righteousH3477 cut offH3582?
Even as I have seenH7200, they that plowH2790 iniquityH205, and sowH2232 wickednessH5999, reapH7114 the same.
By the blastH5397 of GodH433 they perishH6, and by the breathH7307 of his nostrilsH639 are they consumedH3615. {by the breath…: that is, by his anger}
The roaringH7581 of the lionH738, and the voiceH6963 of the fierce lionH7826, and the teethH8127 of the young lionsH3715, are brokenH5421.
The old lionH3918 perishethH6 for lackH1097 of preyH2964, and the stout lion'sH3833 whelpsH1121 are scattered abroadH6504.
Now a thingH1697 was secretly broughtH1589 to me, and mine earH241 receivedH3947 a littleH8102 thereof. {secretly: Heb. by stealth}
In thoughtsH5587 from the visionsH2384 of the nightH3915, when deep sleepH8639 fallethH5307 on menH582,
FearH6343 cameH7122 upon me, and tremblingH7461, which made allH7230 my bonesH6106 to shakeH6342. {came…: Heb. met} {all: Heb. the multitude of}
Then a spiritH7307 passedH2498 before my faceH6440; the hairH8185 of my fleshH1320 stood upH5568:
It stood stillH5975, but I could not discernH5234 the formH4758 thereof: an imageH8544 was before mine eyesH5869, there was silenceH1827, and I heardH8085 a voiceH6963, saying, {there…: or, I heard a still voice}
Shall mortal manH582 be more justH6663 than GodH433? shall a manH1397 be more pureH2891 than his makerH6213?
Behold, he put no trustH539 in his servantsH5650; and his angelsH4397 he chargedH7760 with follyH8417: {and his…: or, nor in his angels, in whom he put light}
How much lessH637 in them that dwellH7931 in housesH1004 of clayH2563, whose foundationH3247 is in the dustH6083, which are crushedH1792 beforeH6440 the mothH6211?
They are destroyedH3807 from morningH1242 to eveningH6153: they perishH6 for everH5331 without any regardingH7760 it. {destroyed: Heb. beaten in pieces}
Doth not their excellencyH3499 which is in them go awayH5265? they dieH4191, even without wisdomH2451.

ForG1063 out ofG1537 muchG4183 afflictionG2347 andG2532 anguishG4928 of heartG2588 I wroteG1125 unto youG5213 withG1223 manyG4183 tearsG1144; notG3756 thatG2443 ye should be grievedG3076, butG235 thatG2443 ye might knowG1097 the loveG26 whichG3739 I haveG2192 more abundantlyG4056 untoG1519 youG5209.
ButG1161 if anyG1536 have caused griefG3076, he hathG3076 notG3756 grievedG3076 meG1691, butG235 inG575 partG3313: thatG3363 I mayG1912 notG3363 overchargeG1912 youG5209 allG3956.
SufficientG2425 to such a manG5108 is thisG3778 punishmentG2009, whichG3588 was inflicted ofG5259 manyG4119. {punishment: or, censure}
For I am fullH4390 of matterH4405, the spiritH7307 withinH990 me constrainethH6693 me. {matter: Heb. words} {spirit…: Heb. spirit of my belly}
Behold, my bellyH990 is as wineH3196 which hath no ventH6605; it is ready to burstH1234 like newH2319 bottlesH178. {hath…: Heb. is not opened}
I will speakH1696, that I may be refreshedH7304: I will openH6605 my lipsH8193 and answerH6030. {be…: Heb. breathe}
ForG3754 thoughG1499 I madeG3076 youG5209 sorryG3076 withG1722 a letterG1992, I doG3338 notG3756 repentG3338, thoughG1499 I did repentG3338: forG1063 I perceiveG991 thatG3754 the sameG1565 epistleG1992 hath madeG3076 youG5209 sorryG3076, though it were butG1499 forG4314 a seasonG5610.
NowG3568 I rejoiceG5463, notG3756 thatG3754 ye were made sorryG3076, butG235 thatG3754 ye sorrowedG3076 toG1519 repentanceG3341: forG1063 ye were made sorryG3076 afterG2596 a godly mannerG2316, thatG2443 ye might receive damageG2210 byG1537 usG2257 inG1722 nothingG3367. {after…: or, according to God}
ForG1063 godlyG2316+G2596 sorrowG3077 workethG2716 repentanceG3341 toG1519 salvationG4991 not to be repented ofG278: butG1161 the sorrowG3077 of the worldG2889 workethG2716 deathG2288.
Therefore I am fullH4392 of the furyH2534 of the LORDH3068; I am wearyH3811 with holding inH3557: I will pour it outH8210 upon the childrenH5768 abroadH2351, and upon the assemblyH5475 of young menH970 togetherH3162: for even the husbandH376 with the wifeH802 shall be takenH3920, the agedH2205 with him that is fullH4390 of daysH3117.
