Job 4
American Standard Version
1Then answered EliphazH464 the TemaniteH8489, and saidH559,
2If one assay to commune with thee, wilt thou be grieved?But who can withhold himself from speaking?3Behold, thou hast instructedH3256 manyH7227,And thou hast strengthenedH2388 the weak handsH3027.4Thy wordsH4405 have upholden him that was falling,And thou hast madeH553 firmH553 the feeble knees.5But nowH6258 it is comeH935 unto thee, and thou faintest;It toucheth thee, and thou art troubled.6Is not thy fearH3373 of God thy confidence,Andthe integrityH8537 of thy waysH1870 thy hopeH8615?7RememberH2142, I pray thee, who ever perishedH6, being innocentH5355?Or whereH375 were the uprightH3477 cut off?8According as I have seenH7200, they that plowH2790 iniquity,And sowH2232 troubleH5999, reapH7114 the same.9By the breathH7307 of GodH433 they perishH6,And by the blast of his angerH639 are they consumed.10The roaringH7581 of the lionH738, and the voiceH6963 of the fierce lionH738,And the teethH8127 of the youngH3715 lionsH738, are broken.11The old lionH3918 perisheth for lack of preyH2964,And the whelps of the lionessH3833 are scatteredH6504 abroad.12Now a thingH1697 was secretly brought to me,And mine earH241 receivedH3947 a whisperH8102 thereof.13In thoughts from the visionsH2384 of the nightH3915,When deepH8639 sleepH8639 falleth on menH376,14FearH6343 came upon me, and trembling,Which made all my bonesH6106 to shake.15Then a spiritH7307 passedH2498 before my faceH6440;The hairH8185 of my fleshH1320 stood up.16It stoodH5975 stillH5975, but I could not discern the appearanceH4758 thereof;A formH8544 was before mine eyesH5869:There wassilence, and I heardH8085 a voiceH6963, saying,17Shall mortal manH1397 be more just than GodH433?Shall a manH1397 be more pureH2891 than his Maker?18Behold, he putteth no trustH539 in his servantsH5650;And his angelsH4397 he chargeth with folly:19How much more them that dwellH7931 in housesH1004 of clay,Whose foundationH3247 is in the dustH6083,Who are crushedH1792 before the mothH6211!20Betwixt morningH1242 and eveningH6153 they are destroyedH6:They perishH6 for ever without any regarding it.21Is not their tent-cord plucked up within them?They dieH4191, and that without wisdomH2451.
