Have I not dissembled? Have I not kept silence? Have I not been quiet? And indignation is come upon me.
Thou wilt frighten me with dreams and terrify me with visions.
Deliver me, And rescue me out of the hand of strange children; whose mouth hath spoken vanity: and their right hand is the right hand of iniquity:
Will God hear his cry, when distress shall come upon him?
Then Eliphaz the Themanite answered, and said:
If I say: My bed shall comfort me, and I shall be relieved speaking with myself on my couch:
I expected good things, and evils are come upon me: I waited for light, and darkness broke out.
