1. And Eliphaz the Tĕmanite answered and said,
2. “If one tries a word with you, would you become impatient? But who is able to withhold himself from speaking?
3. See, you have instructed many, and you have made weak hands strong.
4. Your words have raised up him who was stumbling, and you have strengthened the weak knees.
5. But now it has come to you, and you are impatient; it strikes you, and you are troubled.
6. Is not your reverence your trust, the integrity of ways your expectancy?
7. Remember, please: Who, being innocent, has ever perished? And where have the straight ones ever been cut off?
8. According to what I have seen, those who plough wickedness and sow suffering reap the same.
9. Through the breath of Eloah they perish, and through the Spirit of His nostrils they are consumed.
