1	Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered# and said# ,
			2	If we assay# to commune with thee, wilt thou be grieved# ? but who can# withhold# himself from speaking? [to...: Heb. a word] [withhold...: Heb. refrain from words?]
			3	Behold, thou hast instructed# many, and thou hast strengthened# the weak hands.
			4	Thy words have upholden# him that was falling# , and thou hast strengthened# the feeble# knees.
			5	But now it is come# upon thee, and thou faintest# ; it toucheth# thee, and thou art troubled# .
			6	Is not this thy fear, thy confidence, thy hope, and the uprightness of thy ways?
			7	Remember# , I pray thee, who ever perished# , being innocent? or where were the righteous cut off# ?
			8	Even as I have seen# , they that plow# iniquity, and sow# wickedness, reap# the same.
			9	By the blast of God they perish# , and by the breath of his nostrils are they consumed# . [by the breath...: that is, by his anger]
			10	The roaring of the lion, and the voice of the fierce lion, and the teeth of the young lions, are broken# .
			11	The old lion perisheth# for lack of prey, and the stout lion's whelps are scattered abroad# .
			12	Now a thing was secretly brought# to me, and mine ear received# a little thereof. [secretly: Heb. by stealth]
			13	In thoughts from the visions of the night, when deep sleep falleth# on men,
			14	Fear came# upon me, and trembling, which made all my bones to shake# . [came...: Heb. met] [all: Heb. the multitude of]
			15	Then a spirit passed# before my face; the hair of my flesh stood up# :
			16	It stood still# , but I could not discern# the form thereof: an image was before mine eyes, there was silence, and I heard# a voice, saying , [there...: or, I heard a still voice]
			17	Shall mortal man be more just# than God? shall a man be more pure# than his maker# ?
			18	Behold, he put no trust# in his servants; and his angels he charged# with folly: [and his...: or, nor in his angels, in whom he put light]
			19	How much less in them that dwell# in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, which are crushed# before the moth?
			20	They are destroyed# from morning to evening: they perish# for ever without any regarding# it . [destroyed: Heb. beaten in pieces]
			21	Doth not their excellency which is in them go away# ? they die# , even without wisdom.
