Job 4
noyes@Job:4:1 @ Then spake Eliphaz the Temanite, and said:
noyes@Job:4:2 @ If one attempt a word with thee, wilt thou be offended? But who can refrain from speaking?
noyes@Job:4:3 @ Behold, thou hast admonished many; Thou hast strengthened feeble hands;
noyes@Job:4:4 @ Thy words have upheld him that was falling, And thou hast given strength to feeble knees.
noyes@Job:4:5 @ But now it is come upon thee, and thou faintest; It toucheth thee, and thou art confounded!
noyes@Job:4:6 @ Is not thy fear of God thy hope, And the uprightness of thy ways thy confidence?
noyes@Job:4:7 @ Remember, I pray thee, who ever perished being innocent? Or where have the righteous been cut off?
noyes@Job:4:8 @ According to what I have seen, they who plough iniquity, And sow mischief, reap the same.
noyes@Job:4:9 @ By the blast of God they perish, And by the breath of his nostrils they are consumed.
noyes@Job:4:10 @ The roaring of the lion, and the voice of the fierce lion, And the teeth of the young lions are broken.
noyes@Job:4:11 @ The fierce lion perisheth for lack of prey, And the whelps of the lioness are scattered abroad.
noyes@Job:4:12 @ A word was once secretly brought to me, And mine ear caught a whisper thereof.
noyes@Job:4:13 @ Amid thoughts from visions of the night, When deep sleep falleth upon men,
noyes@Job:4:14 @ A fear and a horror came upon me, Which made all my bones to shake.
noyes@Job:4:15 @ Then a spirit passed before my face, The hair of my flesh rose on end;
noyes@Job:4:16 @ It stood still, but its form I could not discern; An image was before mine eyes; There was silence, and I heard a voice:
noyes@Job:4:17 @ "Shall mortal man be more just than God? Shall man be more pure than his Maker?
noyes@Job:4:18 @ Behold, he putteth no trust in his ministering spirits, And his angels he chargeth with frailty.
noyes@Job:4:19 @ What then are they who dwell in houses of clay, Whose foundation is in the dust, Who crumble to pieces, as if moth–eaten!
noyes@Job:4:20 @ Between morning and evening are they destroyed; They perish for ever, and none regardeth it.
noyes@Job:4:21 @ The excellency that is in them is torn away; They die before they have become wise."
