JobChapter 4 |

1 THEN Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said, |
|
2 If I venture to speak with you, will you be wearied? But who can restrain himself from speaking with you? |
|
3 Behold, you have instructed many, and you have strengthened the weak hands. |
|
4 Your words have upheld the weak, and you have strengthened the feeble knees. |
|
5 But now because misfortune has come upon you, and you are weary; it touches you, and you are terrified. |
|
6 Behold, your fear is to be blamed, and your trust in the integrity of your way. |
|
7 Remember, I pray you, whoever perished, being innocent? Or where were the upright ever put to shame? |
|
8 As I have seen, those who plow iniquity and sow trouble, reap the same. |
|
9 By the breath of God they perish, and by the blast of his anger they are consumed. |
|
10 The roaring of the lion, and the voice of the young lion are silenced, and the teeth of the lions are broken. |
|
11 The lion perishes for the lack of prey, and the whelps of the lioness are scattered. |
|
12 Now a thing was secretly brought to me, and my ear received a little of it. |
|
13 In silence, in a night vision, when deep sleep falls on men, |
|
14 Fear came upon me, and trembling, which made all my bones to shake. |
|
15 Then a spirit passed before my face; the hair of my flesh stood up: |
|
16 Then I arose, but I could not discern its meaning; there was no form before my eyes, but I heard a gentle voice, saying, |
|
17 Shall mortal man be declared more righteous than God? Shall he be more pure than his Maker? |
|
18 Behold, he put no trust in his servants; and his messengers he struck with amazement; |
|
19 Even those who dwell in decorated houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, shall be humbled before the thick darkness. |
|
20 They shall be afflicted from morning to evening, that they may not dwell for ever; yea, they shall perish. |
|
21 Behold, their possessions are taken away from them; and the rest of them shall die without wisdom. |

1 Then Eliphaz |
|
2 If we assay |
|
3 Behold, |
|
4 Your words |
|
5 But now |
|
6 Is not this your fear, |
|
7 Remember, |
|
8 Even as I have seen, |
|
9 By the blast |
|
10 The roaring |
|
11 The old lion |
|
12 Now a thing |
|
13 In thoughts |
|
14 Fear |
|
15 Then a spirit |
|
16 It stood |
|
17 Shall mortal |
|
18 Behold, |
|
19 How |
|
20 They are destroyed |
|
21 Does not their excellency |
