In 21 verses, Eliphaz the Temanite breaks the silence with a question no friend can avoid asking, then recounts a night vision in which a spirit passes before his face.
Full sung version coming soon.
Lyrics
Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered If someone ventures to talk with you, will you be grieved? But who can withhold himself from speaking?
Behold, you have instructed many You have strengthened the weak hands Your words have supported him who was falling You have made the feeble knees firm
But now it has come to you and you faint It touches you and you are troubled Isn’t your piety your confidence? Isn’t the integrity of your ways your hope?
Remember now, who ever perished being innocent? Or where were the upright cut off? According to what I have seen Those who plough iniquity and sow trouble, reap the same
Remember, now, who ever perished? Remember, now, who ever perished? The innocent do not perish The upright are not cut off
By the breath of God they perish By the blast of his anger are they consumed The roaring of the lion and the voice of the fierce lion The teeth of the young lions are broken
Now a thing was secretly brought to me My ear received a whisper of it In thoughts from the visions of the night When deep sleep falls on men
Remember, now, who ever perished? Remember, now, who ever perished? By the blast of his anger They are consumed
Fear came on me and trembling Which made all my bones shake Then a spirit passed before my face The hair of my flesh stood up
