Job 4

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