1 Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said:
2 “If one attempts a word with you, will you become weary?But who can withhold himself from speaking?
3 Surely you have instructed many,And you have strengthened weak hands.
4 Your words have upheld him who was stumbling,And you have strengthened the feeble knees;
5 But now it comes upon you, and you are weary;It touches you, and you are troubled.
6 Is not your reverence your confidence?And the integrity of your ways your hope?
7 “Remember now, who ever perished being innocent?Or where were the upright ever cut off?
