## Job 4:2-7 in Context (Verses 1–10 KJV)
 
 [1 ](/kjv/job/4/1) Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,
 
 [2 ](/kjv/job/4/2) *If* we assay to commune with thee, wilt thou be grieved? but who can withhold himself from speaking?**
 
 [3 ](/kjv/job/4/3) Behold, thou hast instructed many, and thou hast strengthened the weak hands.
 
 [4 ](/kjv/job/4/4) Thy words have upholden him that was falling, and thou hast strengthened the feeble knees.
 
 [5 ](/kjv/job/4/5) But now it is come upon thee, and thou faintest; it toucheth thee, and thou art troubled.
 
 [6 ](/kjv/job/4/6) *Is* not *this* thy fear, thy confidence, thy hope, and the uprightness of thy ways?
 
 [7 ](/kjv/job/4/7) Remember, I pray thee, who *ever* perished, being innocent? or where were the righteous cut off?
 
 [8 ](/kjv/job/4/8) Even as I have seen, they that plow iniquity, and sow wickedness, reap the same.
 
 [9 ](/kjv/job/4/9) By the blast of God they perish, and by the breath of his nostrils are they consumed.*
 
 [10 ](/kjv/job/4/10) The roaring of the lion, and the voice of the fierce lion, and the teeth of the young lions, are broken.
 
[Job 3](/kjv/job/3) [Job 5](/kjv/job/5)
