And undertaking, Eliphaz the Temanite says,
If we take to speak to you, will you tire? But the strength of your words, who shall endure?
For since you admonished many, and the hands of the weak comforted,
the ones being weak and also raised up with words, in knees and to the ones powerless courage you invested,
but now comes upon you misery, and touched you; and now you are hurried.
Is it not that your fear is in folly, and your hope, and the evil of your way?
Do you remember then who being pure was destroyed? or when the true ones entirely from the root were destroyed?
As in which manner I beheld the ones plowing the unnatural places, then the ones sowing them griefs shall harvest for themselves.
By the order of the lord they shall perish, and by the breath of his anger they shall be obliterated.
The strength of the lion, and the voice of the lioness, and the prancing of dragons shall be extinguished.
The small lion is destroyed by not having game; and the cubs of lions forsook one another.
To me it was spoken clandestinely in stealth; shall not receive my ear extraordinary things by him,
in amazement from vision my nightly falling fear upon men?
But a shuddering awe met with me, and trembling, greatly my bones quaked.
And a spirit upon my face came, shuddered my hair and flesh.
I rose up, and knew not; I saw and no was there before my eyes, but only a breeze; and a voice I heard, saying,
For what, Shall pure be a mortal before the lord? or from his works blameless shall a man?
If even his servants he does not trust, and even his angels as crooked in what he thinks about,
then the ones dwelling in houses of clay, of whom also we from out of the same mortar are—he smites them of a moth in the manner.
And from morning until evening no longer they are; by not being able themselves to help themselves they perish.
You raised up together their vestige in them; they perished by not having their wisdom.
