Job 4:1-11

1Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,

2“If we dare to converse with you, will you be impatient [or offended]? But who can restrain himself from speaking?

3Behold, you have admonished and instructed many, And you have strengthened weak hands.

4Your words have helped the one who was stumbling to stand, And you have strengthened feeble knees.

5But now adversity comes upon you, and you are impatient and intolerant; It touches you, and you are horrified.

6Is not your fear of God your confidence, And [is not] the integrity and uprightness of your ways your hope?

7“Remember now, who, being innocent, ever perished? Or where [and in what circumstances] were those upright and in right standing with God destroyed?

8As I have seen, those who plow wickedness And those who sow trouble and harm harvest it.

9By the breath of God they perish, And by the blast of His anger they are consumed.

10The roaring of the lion and the voice of the fierce lion, And the teeth of the young lions are broken.

11The lion perishes for lack of prey, And the cubs of the lioness are scattered.
