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.

And with the blastH7307 of thy nostrilsH639 the watersH4325 were gathered togetherH6192, the floodsH5140 stood uprightH5324 as an heapH5067, and the depthsH8415 were congealedH7087 in the heartH3820 of the seaH3220.
And, behold, there cameH935 a greatH1419 windH7307 fromH5676 the wildernessH4057, and smoteH5060 the fourH702 cornersH6438 of the houseH1004, and it fellH5307 upon the young menH5288, and they are deadH4191; and I only am escapedH4422 alone to tellH5046 thee. {from…: Heb. from aside, etc}
Thou didst blowH5398 with thy windH7307, the seaH3220 coveredH3680 them: they sankH6749 as leadH5777 in the mightyH117 watersH4325.
He shall not departH5493 out of darknessH2822; the flameH7957 shall dry upH3001 his branchesH3127, and by the breathH7307 of his mouthH6310 shall he go awayH5493.
Behold, I will sendH5414 a blastH7307 upon him, and he shall hearH8085 a rumourH8052, and shall returnH7725 to his own landH776; and I will cause him to fallH5307 by the swordH2719 in his own landH776.
But with righteousnessH6664 shall he judgeH8199 the poorH1800, and reproveH3198 with equityH4334 for the meekH6035 of the earthH776: and he shall smiteH5221 the earthH776 with the rodH7626 of his mouthH6310, and with the breathH7307 of his lipsH8193 shall he slayH4191 the wickedH7563. {reprove: or, argue}
Then the channelsH650 of watersH4325 were seenH7200, and the foundationsH4146 of the worldH8398 were discoveredH1540 at thy rebukeH1606, O LORDH3068, at the blastH5397 of the breathH7307 of thy nostrilsH639.
For TophetH8613 is ordainedH6186 of oldH865; yea, for the kingH4428 it is preparedH3559; he hath made it deepH6009 and largeH7337: the pileH4071 thereof is fireH784 and muchH7235 woodH6086; the breathH5397 of the LORDH3068, like a streamH5158 of brimstoneH1614, doth kindleH1197 it. {of old: Heb. from yesterday}
