Job after pausing a good while continued.
"Why is life given to him that is in misery?
Which longs for death but it does not come.
He digs for it more than hidden treasure.
The thing that I greatly fear has come upon
me, and that which I greatly feared has
come upon me. And that which I feared
has happened to me. I was not in safety
and neither had I rest, nor was I quiet
still trouble came."

Jobs friends couldn't stand hearing him
say such things after all the bulk of
experiences in their lives proved that God
blessed a good man.

Eliphaz: "If we try to speak to you, will
you be upset about it? But who can hold
back from commenting. Look you have
instructed me. You have strengthen the
weak hand, and by your own words you
have up holding the fallen and he that had
weak knees. But know it's come upon you and
you faint. Remember I pray you who ever
perished being innocent. Even as I have
seen. They that plow iniquity and sow
wickedness reap the same."

"Now a secret thing was shown to me
and I understood a little. In the night
when deep sleep comes upon a man.
A fear came upon me that made my
bone to shake, and a spirit passed
before my face, the hair on my flesh
stood up. It stood still, I could not
discern the shape of it. A image was
before me. It was silent and I heard a
voice saying, shall mortal man be more
just than God. Shall a man be more pure
than his maker."

"His angles he charges with folly. He makes
sore and he binds up. In famine he shall deliver
you from death. In war from the edge of a sword.
You shall be hid from scourge of the tongue. Neither
will be afraid of destruction when it comes. At destruction
and famine you will laugh. You should know that your
dwelling will be in peace, and your children shall be
like the grass of the earth. You shall go to your grave
like a full ear of corn, in the proper season. Now if we
have reasoned these things for certain. So know them
for your own good."

Job: "To him that is afflicted, pity should be shown
from his friends. I did not ask for any of your help.
Teach me and I will hold my peace. Cause me to know
wherein I have error. Do you imagine reproving the
words and speeches of one that is desperate, which
are as the wind."
