Job 4

1And EliphazH464 the TemaniteH8489 answered and saidH559, 2If a wordH1697 were essayed to thee, wouldest thou be grieved? But who can refrain from speaking? 3Behold, thou hast instructedH3256 manyH7227, and thou hast strengthenedH2388 the weak handsH3027; 4Thy wordsH4405 have upholden him that was stumbling, and thou hast braced up the bending knees: 5But nowH6258 it is comeH935 upon thee, and thou grievest; it toucheth thee, and thou art troubled. 6Hath not thy piety been thy confidence, and the perfection of thy waysH1870 thy hopeH8615? 7RememberH2142, I pray thee, who that was innocentH5355 has perishedH6? and whereH375 were the uprightH3477 cut off? 8Even as I have seenH7200, they that plough iniquity and sowH2232 mischiefH5999, reapH7114 the same. 9By the breathH7307 of 1GodH433 they perishH6, and by the blast of his nostrilsH639 are they consumed. 10The roarH7581 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. 12Now to me a wordH1697 was secretly brought, and mine earH241 receivedH3947 a whisperH8102 thereof. 13In thoughts from visionsH2384 of the nightH3915, when deepH8639 sleepH8639 falleth on menH376: — 14FearH6343 came on me, and trembling, and made all my bonesH6106 to shake; 15And a spiritH7307 passedH2498 before my faceH6440 — the hairH8185 of my fleshH1320 stood up — 16It stoodH5975 stillH5975; I could not discern the appearanceH4758 thereof: a formH8544 was before mine eyesH5869; I heardH8085 a slight murmur and a voiceH6963: 17Shall [mortal] manH1397 be more just than 2GodH433? Shall a manH1397 be purer than his Maker? 18Lo, he trusteth not 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 as the mothH6211! 20From morningH1242 to eveningH6153 are they smitten: without any heeding it, they perishH6 for ever. 21Is not their tent-cord torn away in them? they dieH4191, and without wisdomH2451.
