Job 4:1–5 · Berean Standard Bible

1 Then Eliphaz the Temanite replied:

2 “If one ventures a word with you, will you be wearied? Yet who can keep from speaking?

3 Surely you have instructed many, and have strengthened their feeble hands.

4 Your words have steadied those who stumbled; you have braced the knees that were buckling.

5 But now trouble has come upon you, and you are weary. It strikes you, and you are dismayed.
