1Then EliphazH464 the TemaniteH8489 respondedH6030H559,2“If one venturesH5254 a wordH1697 with you, will you becomeH3811 impatientH3811? But 1whoH4310 canH3201 refrainH6113 2from speakingH4405?3BeholdH2009, 3you have taughtH3256 manyH7227, And you have strengthenedH2388 weakH7504 handsH3027.4Your wordsH4405 have helpedH6965 the stumblingH3782 toH6965 standH6965, And you have strengthenedH553 4feebleH3766 kneesH1290.5But nowH6258 it comesH935 to you, and you 5areH3811 impatientH3811; It 6touchesH5060 you, and you are horrifiedH926.6Is your 78fearH3374 of God not 9your confidenceH3690, And the integrityH8537 of your waysH1870 your hopeH8615?
7“RememberH2142 nowH4994, 10whoH4310 ever perishedH6 being innocentH5355? Or whereH375 were the uprightH3477 destroyedH3582?8According to whatH834 I have seenH7200, 11those who 12plowH2790 wrongdoingH205 And those who sowH2232 troubleH5999 harvestH7114 it.9By 13the breathH5397 of GodH433 they perishH6, And 14by the 15blastH7307 of His angerH639 they comeH3615 toH3615 anH3615 endH3615.10The 16roaringH7581 of the lionH743 and the voiceH6963 of the fierce lionH7826, And the teethH8127 of the youngH3715 lionsH3715 are brokenH5421 outH5421.11The 17lionH3918 perishesH6 for lackH1097 of preyH2964, And the 18cubsH1121 of the lionessH3833 are scatteredH6504.
