Job - Chapter: 4


4:1	Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,
4:2	If we assay to commune with thee, wilt thou be grieved? but who can withhold himself from speaking?
4:3	Behold, thou hast instructed many, and thou hast strengthened the weak hands.
4:4	Thy words have upholden him that was falling, and thou hast strengthened the feeble knees.
4:5	But now it is come upon thee, and thou faintest; it toucheth thee, and thou art troubled.
4:6	Is not this thy fear, thy confidence, thy hope, and the uprightness of thy ways?
4:7	Remember, I pray thee, who ever perished, being innocent? or where were the righteous cut off?
4:8	Even as I have seen, they that plow iniquity, and sow wickedness, reap the same.
4:9	By the blast of God they perish, and by the breath of his nostrils are they consumed.
4:10	The roaring of the lion, and the voice of the fierce lion, and the teeth of the young lions, are broken.
4:11	The old lion perisheth for lack of prey, and the stout lion's whelps are scattered abroad.
4:12	Now a thing was secretly brought to me, and mine ear received a little thereof.
4:13	In thoughts from the visions of the night, when deep sleep falleth on men,
4:14	Fear came upon me, and trembling, which made all my bones to shake.
4:15	Then a spirit passed before my face; the hair of my flesh stood up:
4:16	It stood still, but I could not discern the form thereof: an image was before mine eyes, there was silence, and I heard a voice, saying,
4:17	Shall mortal man be more just than God? shall a man be more pure than his maker?
4:18	Behold, he put no trust in his servants; and his angels he charged with folly:
4:19	How much less in them that dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, which are crushed before the moth?
4:20	They are destroyed from morning to evening: they perish for ever without any regarding it.
4:21	Doth not their excellency which is in them go away? they die, even without wisdom.


4:1	Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered, and sayde,
4:2	If we assay to commune with thee, wilt thou be grieued? but who can withholde himselfe from speaking?
4:3	Behold, thou hast taught many, and hast strengthened the wearie hands.
4:4	Thy wordes haue confirmed him that was falling, and thou hast strengthened the weake knees.
4:5	But now it is come vpon thee, and thou art grieued: it toucheth thee, and thou art troubled.
4:6	Is not this thy feare, thy confidence, thy pacience, and the vprightnesse of thy wayes?
4:7	Remember, I pray thee: who euer perished, being an innocent? or where were the vpright destroyed?
4:8	As I haue seene, they that plow iniquitie, and sowe wickednesse, reape the same.
4:9	With the blast of God they perish, and with the breath of his nostrels are they cosumed.
4:10	The roaring of the Lion, and the voyce of the Lionesse, and the teeth of the Lions whelpes are broken.
4:11	The Lyon perisheth for lacke of pray, and the Lyons whelpes are scattered abroade.
4:12	But a thing was brought to me secretly, and mine eare hath receiued a litle thereof.
4:13	In the thoughtes of ye visions of the night, when sleepe falleth on men,
4:14	Feare came vpon me, and dread which made all my bones to tremble.
4:15	And the wind passed before me, and made the heares of my flesh to stande vp.
4:16	Then stoode one, and I knewe not his face: an image was before mine eyes, and in silence heard I a voyce, saying,
4:17	Shall man be more iust then God? or shall a man be more pure then his maker?
4:18	Beholde, he founde no stedfastnesse in his Seruants, and laid follie vpon his Angels.
4:19	Howe much more in them that dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, which shalbe destroyed before the moth?
4:20	They be destroyed from the morning vnto the euening: they perish for euer, without regarde.
4:21	Doeth not their dignitie goe away with them? do they not die, and that without wisdom?
