1. And Eliphaz the Temanite answereth and saith: --
2. Hath one tried a word with thee? --Thou art weary! And to keep in words who is able?
3. Lo, thou hast instructed many, And feeble hands thou makest strong.
4. The stumbling one do thy words raise up, And bowing knees thou dost strengthen.
5. But now, it cometh in unto thee, And thou art weary; It striketh unto thee, and thou art troubled.
6. Is not thy reverence thy confidence? Thy hope--the perfection of thy ways?
7. Remember, I pray thee, Who, being innocent, hath perished? And where have the upright been cut off?
