Eliphaz: Job Is Chastened by God

1 “Call out now;
Is there anyone who will answer you?
And to which of the holy ones will you turn?

2 For wrath kills a foolish man,
And envy slays a simple one.

3 ^aI have seen the foolish taking root,
But suddenly I cursed his dwelling place.

4 His sons are ^afar from safety,
They are crushed in the gate,
And ^bthere is no deliverer.
