Job Chapter 4

World English Bible

   1: Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered,
   2: "If someone ventures to talk with you, will you be grieved? But who can withhold himself from speaking?
   3: Behold, you have instructed many, You have strengthened the weak hands.
   4: Your words have supported him who was falling, You have made firm the feeble knees.
   5: But now it is come to you, and you faint; It touches you, and you are troubled.
   6: Isn't your piety your confidence, The integrity of your ways your hope?
   7: "Remember, now, whoever perished, being innocent? Or where were the upright cut off?
   8: According to what I have seen, those who plow iniquity, And sow trouble, Reap the same.
   9: By the breath of God they perish, By the blast of his anger are they consumed.
   10: The roaring of the lion, and the voice of the fierce lion, The teeth of the young lions, are broken.
   11: The old lion perishes for lack of prey, The whelps of the lioness are scattered abroad.
   12: "Now a thing was secretly brought to me, My ear received a whisper of it.
   13: In thoughts from the visions of the night, When deep sleep falls on men,
   14: Fear came on me, and trembling, Which made all my bones shake.
   15: Then a spirit passed before my face; The hair of my flesh stood up.
   16: It stood still, but I couldn't discern the appearance of it; A form was before my eyes. Silence, then I heard a voice, saying,
   17: 'Shall mortal man be more just than God? Shall a man be more pure than his Maker?
   18: Behold, he puts no trust in his servants. He charges his angels with error.
   19: How much more, those who dwell in houses of clay, Whose foundation is in the dust, Who are crushed before the moth!
   20: Between morning and evening they are destroyed. They perish forever without any regarding it.
   21: Isn't their tent-cord plucked up within them? They die, and that without wisdom.'
