¹ H464 Then Eliphaz H8489 the Temanite H6030 answered [H8799]   H559 and said [H8799]  ,

² H5254 If we assay [H8765]   H1697 to commune H3811 with thee, wilt thou be grieved [H8799]   H3201 ? but who can [H8799]   H6113 withhold [H8800]   H4405 himself from speaking?

³ H3256 Behold, thou hast instructed [H8765]   H7227 many H2388 , and thou hast strengthened [H8762]   H7504 the weak H3027 hands.

⁴ H4405 Thy words H6965 have upholden [H8686]   H3782 him that was falling [H8802]   H553 , and thou hast strengthened [H8762]   H3766 the feeble [H8802]   H1290 knees.

⁵ H935 But now it is come [H8799]   H3811 upon thee, and thou faintest [H8799]   H5060 ; it toucheth [H8799]   H926 thee, and thou art troubled [H8735]  .

⁶ H3374 Is not this thy fear H3690 , thy confidence H8615 , thy hope H8537 , and the uprightness H1870 of thy ways?

⁷ H2142 Remember [H8798]   H6 , I pray thee, who ever perished [H8804]   H5355 , being innocent H375 ? or where H3477 were the righteous H3582 cut off [H8738]  ?

⁸ H7200 Even as I have seen [H8804]   H2790 , they that plow [H8802]   H205 iniquity H2232 , and sow [H8802]   H5999 wickedness H7114 , reap [H8799]   the same.

⁹ H5397 By the blast H433 of God H6 they perish [H8799]   H7307 , and by the breath H639 of his nostrils H3615 are they consumed [H8799]  .

¹⁰ H7581 The roaring H738 of the lion H6963 , and the voice H7826 of the fierce lion H8127 , and the teeth H3715 of the young lions H5421 , are broken [H8738]  .

¹¹ H3918 The old lion H6 perisheth [H8802]   H1097 for lack H2964 of prey H3833 , and the stout lion's H1121 whelps H6504 are scattered abroad [H8691]  .

¹² H1697 Now a thing H1589 was secretly brought [H8792]   H241 to me, and mine ear H3947 received [H8799]   H8102 a little thereof.

¹³ H5587 In thoughts H2384 from the visions H3915 of the night H8639 , when deep sleep H5307 falleth [H8800]   H582 on men,

¹⁴ H6343 Fear H7122 came [H8804]   H7461 upon me, and trembling H7230 , which made all H6106 my bones H6342 to shake [H8689]  .

¹⁵ H7307 Then a spirit H2498 passed [H8799]   H6440 before my face H8185 ; the hair H1320 of my flesh H5568 stood up [H8762]  :

¹⁶ H5975 It stood still [H8799]   H5234 , but I could not discern [H8686]   H4758 the form H8544 thereof: an image H5869 was before mine eyes H1827 , there was silence H8085 , and I heard [H8799]   H6963 a voice, saying,

¹⁷ H582 Shall mortal man H6663 be more just [H8799]   H433 than God H1397 ? shall a man H2891 be more pure [H8799]   H6213 than his maker [H8802]  ?

¹⁸ H539 Behold, he put no trust [H8686]   H5650 in his servants H4397 ; and his angels H7760 he charged [H8799]   H8417 with folly:

¹⁹ H637 How much less H7931 in them that dwell [H8802]   H1004 in houses H2563 of clay H3247 , whose foundation H6083 is in the dust H1792 , which are crushed [H8762]   H6440 before H6211 the moth?

²⁰ H3807 They are destroyed [H8714]   H1242 from morning H6153 to evening H6 : they perish [H8799]   H5331 for ever H7760 without any regarding [H8688]   it .

²¹ H3499 Doth not their excellency H5265 which is in them go away [H8738]   H4191 ? they die [H8799]   H2451 , even without wisdom.
