1 Then Eliphaz the Temanite replied:
2 Should anyone try to speak with youwhen you are exhausted?Yet who can keep from speaking?
3 Indeed, you have instructed manyand have strengthened weak hands.
4 Your words have steadied the one who was stumblingand braced the knees that were buckling.
5 But now that this has happened to you,you have become exhausted.It strikes you, and you are dismayed.
6 Isn’t your piety your confidence,and the integrity of your life your hope?
