4Job 4

1Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,Select Job 4:1

2If we assay to commune with you, will you be grieved? but who can withhold himself from speaking?Select Job 4:2

3Behold, you have instructed many, and you have strengthened the weak hands.Select Job 4:3

4Your words have upheld him that was falling, and you have strengthened the feeble knees.Select Job 4:4

5But now it is come on you, and you faint; it touches you, and you are troubled.Select Job 4:5

6Is not this your fear, your confidence, your hope, and the uprightness of your ways?Select Job 4:6

7Remember, I pray you, who ever perished, being innocent? or where were the righteous cut off?Select Job 4:7

8Even as I have seen, they that plow iniquity, and sow wickedness, reap the same.Select Job 4:8

9By the blast of God they perish, and by the breath of his nostrils are they consumed.Select Job 4:9

10The roaring of the lion, and the voice of the fierce lion, and the teeth of the young lions, are broken.Select Job 4:10

11The old lion perishes for lack of prey, and the stout lion’s whelps are scattered abroad.Select Job 4:11

12Now a thing was secretly brought to me, and my ear received a little thereof.Select Job 4:12

13In thoughts from the visions of the night, when deep sleep falls on men,Select Job 4:13

14Fear came on me, and trembling, which made all my bones to shake.Select Job 4:14

15Then a spirit passed before my face; the hair of my flesh stood up:Select Job 4:15

16It stood still, but I could not discern the form thereof: an image was before my eyes, there was silence, and I heard a voice, saying,Select Job 4:16

17Shall mortal man be more just than God? shall a man be more pure than his maker?Select Job 4:17

18Behold, he put no trust in his servants; and his angels he charged with folly:Select Job 4:18

19How much less in them that dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, which are crushed before the moth?Select Job 4:19

20They are destroyed from morning to evening: they perish for ever without any regarding it.Select Job 4:20

21Does not their excellency which is in them go away? they die, even without wisdom.Select Job 4:21
