4:1  Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said:
4:2  “If one ventures a word with you, will you be impatient? Yet who can keep from speaking?
4:3  Behold, you have instructed many, and you have strengthened the weak hands.
4:4  Your words have upheld him who was stumbling, and you have made firm the feeble knees.
4:5  But now it has come to you, and you are impatient; it touches you, and you are dismayed.
4:6  Is not your fear of God your confidence, and the integrity of your ways your hope?
4:7  “Remember: who that was innocent ever perished? Or where were the upright cut off?

4:9  By the breath of God they perish, and by the blast of his anger they are consumed.
4:10  The roar of the lion, the voice of the fierce lion, the teeth of the young lions are broken.

4:16  It stood still, but I could not discern its appearance. A form was before my eyes; there was silence, then I heard a voice:
4:17  ‘Can mortal man be in the right before God? Can a man be pure before his Maker?
4:18  Even in his servants he puts no trust, and his angels he charges with error;
4:19  how much more those who dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, who are crushed like the moth.
4:20  Between morning and evening they are beaten to pieces; they perish for ever without anyone regarding it.
4:21  Is not their tent-cord plucked up within them, do they not die, and that without wisdom?’
