Eliphaz Counsels Seeking God

Job 5:8-16

But I would inquire at God, and turne my talke vnto God:

Which doeth great things and vnsearchable, and marueilous things without nomber.

He giueth raine vpon the earth, and powreth water vpon the streetes,

And setteth vp on hie them that be lowe, that the sorowfull may be exalted to saluation.

He scattereth the deuices of the craftie: so that their handes can not accomplish that which they doe enterprise.

He taketh the wise in their craftinesse, and the counsel of the wicked is made foolish.

They meete with darkenesse in the day time, and grope at noone day, as in the night.

But he saueth the poore from the sword, from their mouth, and from the hande of the violent man,

So that the poore hath his hope, but iniquitie shall stop her mouth.
