BRAGADAYJAH 1250
Job’s responds to Eliphaz
“My brethren have dealt deceitfully as a brook, and as the streams of brooks
they pass away, which are blackish by reason of the ice, and wherein the snow is
hid. What time they wax warm, they vanish when it is hot. They are consumed out
of their place. The paths of their way are turned aside; they go to nothing and
perish. The troops of Tema looked; the companies of Sheba waited for them. They
were confounded because they had hoped, they came thither and were ashamed; for
now ye are nothing; you see my casting down and are afraid. Did I say bring
unto me? Or, Give a reward to me of your substance? Or deliver me from the enemy’s
hand? Or redeem me from the hand of the mighty? How forcible are right words? Teach me; and I
will hold my tongue; and cause me to understand wherein I have erred! But what
doth your argument reprove? Do we imagine to reprove words and the speeches of
one that is desperate which are as wind? Yea, ye overwhelm the fatherless and
ye dig a pit for your friend. Now,
therefore, be content; look upon me; for it is evident unto you if I lie.
Return I pray you; let it not be iniquity; yea return again; my righteousness
is in it. Is there iniquity in my tongue? cannot my taste discern perverse things?
