"Your words have reassured the wavering, and you have fortified the trembling knees. "
— Job 4:4, Catholic Public Domain Version
“Thy words have upholden him that was falling, and thou hast strengthened the feeble knees.”
“Thy words have upholden him that was falling, And thou hast made firm the feeble knees. ”
“Your words have supported him who was falling, You have made firm the feeble knees.”
“Your words have supported those who stumbled, and you have strengthened the knees that gave way.”
“Thy words have confirmed them that were staggering, and thou hast strengthened the trembling knees:”
“He who was near to falling has been lifted up by your words, and you have given strength to bent knees.”
“Thy words have upholden him that was falling, and thou hast strengthened the feeble knees.”
But Eliphaz the Themanite, answering, said:
If we start to speak to you, perhaps you will take it badly, but who can hold back the words he has conceived?
Behold, you have taught many, and you have strengthened weary hands.
Your words have reassured the wavering, and you have fortified the trembling knees.
But now the scourge has overcome you, and you falter. It has touched you, and you are disturbed.
Where is your reverence, your fortitude, your patience, and the perfection of your ways?
Consider this, I beg you: who ever perished being innocent? Or when have the righteous been destroyed?
