Job:4

* Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered , and said , * If one assay to commune with you , will you be grieved ? But who can withhold himself from speaking ? * Look , you have instructed many , And you have strengthened the weak hands . * Your words have upheld him who was falling , And you have made firm the feeble knees . * But now it has come to you , and you faint ; It touches you , and you are troubled . * Isn 't your fear [of God ] your confidence , [And ] the integrity of your ways your hope ? * Remember , I pray you , who [ever ] perished , being innocent ? Or where were the upright cut off ? * According to as I have seen , those who plow iniquity , And sow trouble , reap the same . * By the breath of God they perish , And by the blast of his anger are they consumed . * The roaring of the lion , and the voice of the fierce lion , And the teeth of the young lions , are broken . * The old lion perishes for lack of prey , And the whelps of the lioness are scattered abroad . * Now a thing was secretly brought to me , And my ear received a whisper of it . * In thoughts from the visions of the night , When deep sleep falls on men , * Fear came upon me , and trembling , Which made all my bones to shake . * Then a spirit passed before my face ; The hair of my flesh stood up . * It stood still , but I could not discern its appearance ; A form was before my eyes : [There was ] silence , and I heard a voice [saying ], * Will common man be more just than God ? Will [noble ] man be more pure than his Maker ? * Look , he puts no trust in his slaves ; And his angels he charges with folly : * How much more those who stay in houses of clay , Whose foundation is in the dust , Who are crushed before the moth ! * Between morning and evening they are destroyed : They perish forever without any regarding it . * Isn 't their tent-cord plucked up inside them ? They die , and that without wisdom .
