World English Bible Classic
[1] Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered,
[2] “If someone ventures to talk with you, will you be grieved?
But who can withhold himself from speaking?
[3] Behold, you have instructed many,
you have strengthened the weak hands.
[4] Your words have supported him who was falling,
you have made the feeble knees firm.
[5] But now it has come to you, and you faint.
It touches you, and you are troubled.
[6] Isn’t your piety your confidence?
Isn’t the integrity of your ways your hope? [7] “Remember, now, who ever perished, being innocent?
Or where were the upright cut off?
[8] According to what I have seen, those who plow iniquity
and sow trouble, reap the same.
[9] By the breath of God they perish.
By the blast of his anger are they consumed.
[10] The roaring of the lion,
and the voice of the fierce lion,
the teeth of the young lions, are broken.
[11] The old lion perishes for lack of prey.
The cubs of the lioness are scattered abroad. [12] “Now a thing was secretly brought to me.
My ear received a whisper of it.
[13] In thoughts from the visions of the night,
when deep sleep falls on men,
[14] fear came on me, and trembling,
which made all my bones shake.
[15] Then a spirit passed before my face.
The hair of my flesh stood up.
[16] It stood still, but I couldn’t discern its appearance.
A form was before my eyes.
Silence, then I heard a voice, saying,
[17] ‘Shall mortal man be more just than God?
Shall a man be more pure than his Maker?
[18] Behold, he puts no trust in his servants.
He charges his angels with error.
[19] How much more those who dwell in houses of clay,
whose foundation is in the dust,
who are crushed before the moth!
[20] Between morning and evening they are destroyed.
They perish forever without any regarding it.
[21] Isn’t their tent cord plucked up within them?
They die, and that without wisdom.’
King James Version

Eliphaz Speaks

[1] Then Eliphaz H464 the Temanite H8489 answered H6030 and said, H559
[2] If we assay H5254 to commune H1697§ with thee, wilt thou be grieved? H3811
But who can H3201 withhold H6113 himself from speaking? H4405
[3] Behold, thou hast instructed H3256 many, H7227
And thou hast strengthened H2388 the weak H7504 hands. H3027
[4] Thy words H4405 have upholden H6965 him that was falling, H3782
And thou hast strengthened H553 the feeble H3766 knees. H1290ⓘ
[5] But now it is come H935 upon thee, and thou faintest; H3811
It toucheth H5060 thee, and thou art troubled. H926
[6] Is not this thy fear, H3374 thy confidence, H3690
Thy hope, H8615 and the uprightness H8537 of thy ways? H1870
[7] Remember, H2142 I pray thee, who ever perished, H6 being innocent? H5355
Or where H375 were the righteous H3477 cut off? H3582
[8] Even as I have seen, H7200 they that plow H2790 iniquity, H205
And sow H2232 wickedness, H5999 reap H7114 the same.
[9] By the blast H5397 of God H433 they perish, H6
And by the breath H7307 of his nostrils H639 are they consumed. H3615
[10] The roaring H7581 of the lion, H738 and the voice H6963 of the fierce lion, H7826
And the teeth H8127 of the young lions, H3715 are broken. H5421
[11] The old lion H3918 perisheth H6 for lack H1097 of prey, H2964
And the stout lion’s H3833 whelps H1121 are scattered abroad. H6504
[12] Now a thing H1697 was secretly§ brought H1589 to me,
And mine ear H241 received H3947 a little H8102 thereof.
[13] In thoughts H5587 from the visions H2384 of the night, H3915
When deep sleep H8639 falleth H5307 on H5921 men, H582
[14] Fear H6343 came H7122 upon me,§ and trembling, H7461
Which made all H7230 my bones H6106§ to shake. H6342
[15] Then a spirit H7307 passed H2498 before my face; H6440
The hair H8185 of my flesh H1320 stood up: H5568
[16] It stood still, H5975
But I could not discern H5234 the form H4758 thereof:
An image H8544 was before mine eyes, H5869
There was silence, H1827§ and I heard H8085 a voice, H6963 saying,
[17] Shall mortal man H582 be more just H6663 than God? H433
Shall a man H1397 be more pure H2891 than his maker? H6213
[18] Behold, he put no trust H539 in his servants; H5650
And his angels H4397 he charged H7760§ with folly: H8417
[19] How much less H637 in them that dwell H7931 in houses H1004 of clay, H2563
Whose H834 foundation H3247 is in the dust, H6083
Which are crushed H1792 before H6440 the moth? H6211
[20] They are destroyed H3807§ from morning H1242 to evening: H6153
They perish H6 for ever H5331 without any regarding H7760 it.
[21] Doth not H3808 their excellency H3499 which is in them go away? H5265
They die, H4191 even without wisdom. H2451
