ELI PHAZ ANSWERS
And Eli Phaz the Temaniy answers and says, 2 If one tests a word with you, you weary; but who can refrain himself from utterances? 3 Behold, you instructed many and you strengthened the weak hands; 4 your utterances raised him who falters and you strengthened the kneeling knees. 5 But now it comes on you, and you weary; it touches you, and you terrify. 6 Is not this your awe, your confidence, your hope and the integrity of your ways? 7 Remember, I pray you, whoever destructs, being innocent? or, Where are the straight cut off? 8 Even as I see, they who plow mischief and seed toil, harvest thus. 9 By the breath of Elohah, they destruct and by the spirit/wind of his nostrils, they finish off. 10 The roaring of the lion and the voice of the roaring lion and the teeth of the whelps - all are pulled. 11 Without prey, the old lion destructs, and the whelps of the roaring lion separate. 12 And by stealth, a word is brought to me and my ear takes an inkling. 13 In sentiments from the visions of the night, when deep sleep falls on men, 14 dread and trembling confront me - which my abundant bones dread. 15 And a spirit passes in front of my face; the hair of my flesh stands on end; 16 it stands: but I recognize not the visage; a manifestation in front of my eyes: stillness - and I hear a voice, 17 Is mortal man more just than Elohah? The mighty more pure than his Worker? 18 Behold, he puts no trust in his servants; and he sets his angels with braggadocio; 19 yes, they who tabernacle in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust crush at the face of the moth 20 - crushed from morning to evening; they destruct in perpetuity without setting: 21 those remaining pull stakes - they die, even without wisdom.
