Eliphaz Says the Innocent Do Not Suffer

Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,

“If one tries a word with you, will you become weary?
But (A)who can hold back [a]from speaking?
Behold, (B)you have disciplined many,
And you have strengthened limp hands.
Your words have [b]helped the stumbling to stand,
And you have encouraged [c]feeble knees.
But now it has come to you, and you (C)are impatient;
It (D)touches you, and you are dismayed.
Is not your [d](E)fear of God (F)your confidence,
And the integrity of your ways your hope?

“But now it has come to you, and you (C)are impatient;
It (D)touches you, and you are dismayed.
“Is not your [e](E)fear of God (F)your confidence,
And the integrity of your ways your hope?
