1. Eliphaz from Teman answered:
2. “I must say something. Would it upset you if I speak?
3. Job, you have taught many people. You encouraged those who were ready to quit.
4. Your words helped those who were ready to fall. You gave strength to those who could not stand by themselves.
5. But now trouble comes to you, and you are discouraged. Trouble hits you, and you are upset.
6. You worship God. You trust him. You are a good man, so let that be your hope.
