Bible in Basic English
"He who was near to falling has been lifted up by your words, and you have given strength to bent knees."
— Job 4:4, Bible in Basic English
“Thy words have upholden him that was falling, and thou hast strengthened the feeble knees.”
And Eliphaz the Temanite made answer and said,
If one says a word, will it be a weariness to you? but who is able to keep from saying what is in his mind?
Truly, you have been a helper to others, and you have made feeble hands strong;
He who was near to falling has been lifted up by your words, and you have given strength to bent knees.
But now it has come on you and it is a weariness to you; you are touched by it and your mind is troubled.
Is not your fear of God your support, and your upright way of life your hope?
Have you ever seen destruction come to an upright man? or when were the god-fearing ever cut off?
