Job  


4 : 1 Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered,
4 : 2 If one ventures a word with you, will you become impatient? But who can refrain from speaking?
4 : 3 Behold you have admonished many, And you have strengthened weak hands.
4 : 4 Your words have helped the tottering to stand, And you have strengthened feeble knees.
4 : 5 But now it has come to you, and you are impatient; It touches you, and you are dismayed.
4 : 6 Is not your fear of God your confidence, And the integrity of your ways your hope?
4 : 7 Remember now, who ever perished being innocent? Or where were the upright destroyed?
4 : 8 According to what I have seen, those who plow iniquity And those who sow trouble harvest it.
4 : 9 By the breath of God they perish, And by the blast of His anger they come to an end.
4 : 10 The roaring of the lion and the voice of the fierce lion, And the teeth of the young lions are broken.
4 : 11 The lion perishes for lack of prey, And the whelps of the lioness are scattered.
4 : 12 Now a word was brought to me stealthily, And my ear received a whisper of it.
4 : 13 Amid disquieting thoughts from the visions of the night, When deep sleep falls on men,
4 : 14 Dread came upon me, and trembling, And made all my bones shake.
4 : 15 Then a spirit passed by my face; The hair of my flesh bristled up.
4 : 16 It stood still, but I could not discern its appearance; A form was before my eyes; There was silence, then I heard a voice:
4 : 17 `Can mankind be just before God? Can a man be pure before his Maker?
4 : 18 `He puts no trust even in His servants; And against His angels He charges error.
4 : 19 `How much more those who dwell in houses of clay, Whose foundation is in the dust, Who are crushed before the moth!
4 : 20 `Between morning and evening they are broken in pieces; Unobserved, they perish forever.
4 : 21 `Is not their tent-cord plucked up within them? They die, yet without wisdom.`
