Job 4

1 Eliphaz reproveth Job for want of religion. 7 He teacheth God's judgment to be not for the righteous, but for the wicked. 12 His fearful vision, to humble the excellency of creatures before God.

 4:1 Then Eliphaz 464 the Temanite 8489 answered 6030a,

 4:2 “If one ventures 5254 a word 1697 with you, will you become 3811 impatient 3811? But who 4310 can 3201 refrain 6113 from speaking 4405?

 4:3 “Behold 2009 you have admonished 3256 many 7227a, And you have strengthened 2388 weak 7504b hands 3027.

 4:4 “Your words 4405 have helped the tottering 3782 to stand 6965, And you have strengthened 553 feeble 3766 knees 1290.

 4:5 “But now 6258 it has come 935 to you, and you are impatient 3811; It touches 5060 you, and you are dismayed 926.

 4:6 “Is not your fear 3374 [of God] your confidence 3690, And the integrity 8537 of your ways 1870 your hope 8615b?

 4:7 ¶ “Remember 2142 now 4994, who 4310 [ever] perished 6 being innocent 5355a? Or where 375 were the upright 3477 destroyed 3582?

 4:8 “According to what 834 I have seen 7200, those who plow 2790a iniquity 205 And those who sow 2232 trouble 5999 harvest 7114b it.

 4:9 “By the breath 5397 of God 433 they perish 6, And by the blast 7307 of His anger 639 they come 3615 to an end 3615.

 4:10 “The roaring 7581 of the lion 743b and the voice 6963 of the [fierce] lion 7826, And the teeth 8127 of the young 3715 lions 3715 are broken 5421.

 4:11 “The lion 3918 perishes 6 for lack 1097 of prey 2964, And the whelps 1121 of the lioness 3833b are scattered 6504.

 4:12 ¶ “Now a word 1697 was brought 1589 to me stealthily 1589, And my ear 241 received 3947 a whisper 8102 of it.

 4:13 “Amid disquieting 8174b thoughts 8174b from the visions 2384 of the night 3915, When deep 8639 sleep 8639 falls 5307 on men 376,

 4:14 Dread 6343 came 7122 upon me, and trembling 7461b, And made all 7230 my bones 6106 shake 6342.

 4:15 “Then a spirit 7307 passed 2498 by my face 6440; The hair 8185 of my flesh 1320 bristled 5568 up.

 4:16 “It stood 5975 still 5975, but I could not discern 5234 its appearance 4758; A form 8544 [was] before 5048 my eyes 5869; [There was] silence 1827, then I heard 8085 a voice 6963:

 4:17 ‘Can mankind 582 be just 6663 before 4480 God 433? Can a man 1397 be pure 2891 before 4480 his Maker 6213a?

 4:18 ‘He puts 539 no 3808 trust 539 even 2005 in His servants 5650; And against His angels 4397 He charges 7760 error 8417.

 4:19 ‘How 637 much 637 more 637 those who dwell 7931 in houses 1004 of clay 2563a, Whose 834 foundation 3247 is in the dust 6083, Who are crushed 1792 before 6440 the moth 6211!

 4:20 ‘Between 4480 morning 1242 and evening 6153 they are broken 3807 in pieces 3807; Unobserved 1097 7760, they perish 6 forever 5331.

 4:21 ‘Is not their tent-cord 3499b plucked 5265 up within them? They die 4191, yet without 3808 wisdom 2451.’
