Job 4
acv@Job:4:1 @ Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered, and said,
acv@Job:4:2 @ If a man tries to converse with thee, will thou be grieved? But who can withhold himself from speaking?
acv@Job:4:3 @ Behold, thou have instructed many, and thou have strengthened the weak hands.
acv@Job:4:4 @ Thy words have upheld him who was falling, and thou have made firm the feeble knees.
acv@Job:4:5 @ But now it comes to thee, and thou faint. It touches thee, and thou are troubled.
acv@Job:4:6 @ Is not thy fear [of God] thy confidence, the integrity of thy ways thy hope?
acv@Job:4:7 @ Remember, I pray thee, who [ever] perished, being innocent? Or where were the upright cut off?
acv@Job:4:8 @ According as I have seen, those who plow iniquity, and sow trouble, reap the same.
acv@Job:4:9 @ By the breath of God they perish, and by the blast of his anger they are consumed.
acv@Job:4:10 @ The roaring of the lion, and the voice of the fierce lion, and the teeth of the young lions, are broken.
acv@Job:4:11 @ The old lion perishes for lack of prey, and the whelps of the lioness are scattered abroad.
acv@Job:4:12 @ Now a thing was secretly brought to me, and my ear received a whisper of it.
acv@Job:4:13 @ In thoughts from the visions of the night, when deep sleep falls on men,
acv@Job:4:14 @ fear came upon me, and trembling, which made all my bones to shake.
acv@Job:4:15 @ Then a spirit passed before my face; the hair of my flesh stood up.
acv@Job:4:16 @ It stood still, but I could not discern the appearance of it. A form was before my eyes. [There was] silence, and I heard a voice, [saying],
acv@Job:4:17 @ Shall mortal man be more just than God? Shall a man be more pure than his maker?
acv@Job:4:18 @ Behold, he puts no trust in his servants, and he charges his [heavenly] agents with folly.
acv@Job:4:19 @ How much more those who dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, who are crushed before the moth!
acv@Job:4:20 @ Between morning and evening they are destroyed. They perish forever without any regarding it.
acv@Job:4:21 @ Is not their tent-cord plucked up within them? They die, and that without wisdom.
