Job 4:1-11

1Then EliphazH464 the TemaniteH8489 answeredH6030 and saidH559,

2If we assayH5254 to communeH1697 with thee, wilt thou be grievedH3811? but who canH3201 withholdH6113 himself from speakingH4405?12

3Behold, thou hast instructedH3256 manyH7227, and thou hast strengthenedH2388 the weakH7504 handsH3027.

4Thy wordsH4405 have upholdenH6965 him that was fallingH3782, and thou hast strengthenedH553 the feebleH3766 kneesH1290.

5But now it is comeH935 upon thee, and thou faintestH3811; it touchethH5060 thee, and thou art troubledH926.

6Is not this thy fearH3374, thy confidenceH3690, thy hopeH8615, and the uprightnessH8537 of thy waysH1870?

7RememberH2142, I pray thee, who ever perishedH6, being innocentH5355? or whereH375 were the righteousH3477 cut offH3582?

8Even as I have seenH7200, they that plowH2790 iniquityH205, and sowH2232 wickednessH5999, reapH7114 the same.

9By the blastH5397 of GodH433 they perishH6, and by the breathH7307 of his nostrilsH639 are they consumedH3615.3

10The roaringH7581 of the lionH738, and the voiceH6963 of the fierce lionH7826, and the teethH8127 of the young lionsH3715, are brokenH5421.

11The old lionH3918 perishethH6 for lackH1097 of preyH2964, and the stout lion’sH3833 whelpsH1121 are scattered abroadH6504.
