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.

Mine ageH1755 is departedH5265, and is removedH1540 from me as a shepherd'sH7473 tentH168: I have cut offH7088 like a weaverH707 my lifeH2416: he will cut me offH1214 with pining sicknessH1803: from dayH3117 even to nightH3915 wilt thou make an endH7999 of me. {with…: or, from the thrum}
