[1]Then EliphazH464 the TemaniteH8489 answeredH6030[H8799] H559and saidH8799
[2]If we assayH5254[H8765] to communeH1697 with thee, wilt thou be grievedH3811[H8799]? but who canH3201[H8799] withholdH6113[H8800] himself from speakingH4405?
[3]Behold, thou hast instructedH3256[H8765] manyH7227, and thou hast strengthenedH2388[H8762] the weakH7504 handsH3027.
[4]Thy wordsH4405 have upholdenH6965[H8686] him that was fallingH3782[H8802], and thou hast strengthenedH553[H8762] the feebleH3766[H8802] kneesH1290.
[5]But now it is comeH935[H8799] upon thee, and thou faintestH3811[H8799]; it touchethH5060[H8799] thee, and thou art troubledH926.[H8735]
[6]Is not this thy fearH3374, thy confidenceH3690, thy hopeH8615, and the uprightnessH8537 of thy waysH1870?
[7]RememberH2142[H8798], I pray thee, who ever perishedH6[H8804], being innocentH5355? or whereH375 were the righteousH3477 cut offH3582?[H8738]
[8]Even as I have seenH7200[H8804], they that plowH2790[H8802] iniquityH205, and sowH2232[H8802] wickednessH5999, reapH7114 the sameH8799.
[9]By the blastH5397 of GodH433 they perishH6[H8799], and by the breathH7307 of his nostrilsH639 are they consumedH3615.[H8799]
[10]The roaringH7581 of the lionH738, and the voiceH6963 of the fierce lionH7826, and the teethH8127 of the young lionsH3715, are brokenH5421.[H8738]
[11]The old lionH3918 perishethH6[H8802] for lackH1097 of preyH2964, and the stout lion'sH3833 whelpsH1121 are scattered abroadH6504.[H8691]
[12]Now a thingH1697 was secretly broughtH1589[H8792] to me, and mine earH241 receivedH3947[H8799] a little thereofH8102.
[13]In thoughtsH5587 from the visionsH2384 of the nightH3915, when deep sleepH8639 fallethH5307[H8800] on menH582,
[14]FearH6343 cameH7122[H8804] upon me, and tremblingH7461, which made allH7230 my bonesH6106 to shakeH6342.[H8689]
[15]Then a spiritH7307 passedH2498[H8799] before my faceH6440; the hairH8185 of my fleshH1320 stood upH5568:[H8762]
[16]It stood stillH5975[H8799], but I could not discernH5234[H8686] the formH4758 thereof: an imageH8544 was before mine eyesH5869, there was silenceH1827, and I heardH8085[H8799] a voice, sayingH6963,
[17]Shall mortal manH582 be more justH6663[H8799] than GodH433? shall a manH1397 be more pureH2891[H8799] than his makerH6213?[H8802]
[18]Behold, he put no trustH539[H8686] in his servantsH5650; and his angelsH4397 he chargedH7760[H8799] with follyH8417:
[19]How much lessH637 in them that dwellH7931[H8802] in housesH1004 of clayH2563, whose foundationH3247 is in the dustH6083, which are crushedH1792[H8762] beforeH6440 the mothH6211?
[20]They are destroyedH3807[H8714] from morningH1242 to eveningH6153: they perishH6[H8799] for everH5331 without any regardingH7760 itH8688.
[21]Doth not their excellencyH3499 which is in them go awayH5265[H8738]? they dieH4191[H8799], even without wisdomH2451.
