Job 4:1-8
New American Standard Bible 1995
Eliphaz: Innocent Do Not Suffer
4 Then Eliphaz the Temanite [a]answered,
2 “If one ventures a word with you, will you become impatient?
But (A)who can refrain [b]from speaking?
3 “Behold (B)you have admonished many,
And you have strengthened weak hands.
4 “Your words have [c]helped the tottering to stand,
And you have strengthened [d]feeble knees.
5 “But now it has come to you, and you (C)are impatient;
It (D)touches you, and you are dismayed.
6 “Is not your [e](E)fear of God (F)your confidence,
And the integrity of your ways your hope?
7 “Remember now, (G)who ever perished being innocent?
Or where were the upright destroyed?
8 “According to what I have seen, (H)those who plow iniquity
And those who sow trouble harvest it.
