Job 4

Job 4:1 And Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said:
Job 4:2 Shall one try a word with you, you who are weary? But who can hold back with words?
Job 4:3 Behold, you have instructed many; and you have made weak hands strong.
Job 4:4 Your words have upheld him who was falling, and you have made feeble knees strong.
Job 4:5 But now it has come upon you, and you faint. It touches you, and you are troubled.
Job 4:6 Is not your reverence your hope; your hope the uprightness of your ways?
Job 4:7 I beg you, remember, Who ever perished, being innocent? Or where were the righteous cut off?
Job 4:8 As I have seen, the ones who plow iniquity and sow misery reap the same.
Job 4:9 They perish from the breath of God, and by the blast of His anger they are consumed.
Job 4:10 The lion roars; and the voice of the lion and the teeth of the young lions are broken;
Job 4:11 the old lion is perishing for lack of prey; and the lioness’ offspring are scattered.
Job 4:12 Now a word was stolen to me, and my ear received a whisper of it.
Job 4:13 In thoughts from the visions of the night, when deep sleep falls on men,
Job 4:14 fear and trembling met me, and made my many bones dread.
Job 4:15 Then a spirit passed before my face; the hair of my flesh stood up;
Job 4:16 it stood still, but I could not discern its form; an image was before my eyes; there was silence; then I heard a voice:
Job 4:17 Is man more righteous than God? Or a strong man be purer than his Maker?
Job 4:18 Behold, He puts no trust in His servants; and He charges His angels with folly!
Job 4:19 How much more those that dwell in houses of clay; whose foundation is in the dust; they crush them before the moth!
Job 4:20 They are shattered from morning till evening; they perish forever with no one regarding.
Job 4:21 Is not their tent cord pulled up within them? They die, but not with wisdom.
