Verses 1–10
1 Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered,
2 “If someone ventures to talk with you, will you be grieved? But who can withhold himself from speaking?
3 Behold, you have instructed many, you have strengthened the weak hands.
4 Your words have supported him who was falling, you have made the feeble knees firm.
5 But now it has come to you, and you faint. It touches you, and you are troubled.
6 Isn’t your piety your confidence? Isn’t the integrity of your ways your hope?
7 “Remember, now, who ever perished, being innocent? Or where were the upright cut off?
8 According to what I have seen, those who plough iniquity and sow trouble, reap the same.
9 By the breath of God they perish. By the blast of his anger are they consumed.
10 The roaring of the lion, and the voice of the fierce lion, the teeth of the young lions, are broken.
