rsv@Job:4:1 @ Then Eli'phaz the Te'manite answered:

rsv@Job:4:2 @ "If one ventures a word with you, will you be offended? Yet who can keep from speaking?

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

rsv@Job:4:4 @ Your words have upheld him who was stumbling, and you have made firm the feeble knees.

rsv@Job:4:5 @ But now it has come to you, and you are impatient; it touches you, and you are dismayed.

rsv@Job:4:6 @ Is not your fear of God your confidence, and the integrity of your ways your hope?

rsv@Job:4:7 @ "Think now, who that was innocent ever perished? Or where were the upright cut off+?

rsv@Job:4:8 @ As I have seen, those who plow iniquity and sow trouble reap the same.

rsv@Job:4:9 @ By the breath of God they perish, and by the blast of his anger they are consumed.

rsv@Job:4:10 @ The roar of the lion, the voice of the fierce lion, the teeth of the young lions, are broken.

rsv@Job:4:11 @ The strong lion perishes for lack of prey, and the whelps of the lioness are scattered.

rsv@Job:4:12 @ "Now a word was brought to me stealthily, my ear received the whisper of it.

rsv@Job:4:13 @ Amid thoughts from visions of the night, when deep sleep falls on men,

rsv@Job:4:14 @ dread came upon me, and trembling, which made all my bones shake.

rsv@Job:4:15 @ A spirit glided past my face; the hair of my flesh stood up.

rsv@Job:4:16 @ It stood still, but I could not discern its appearance. A form was before my eyes; there was silence, then I heard a voice:

rsv@Job:4:17 @ `an mortal man be righteous before God? Can a man be pure before his Maker?

rsv@Job:4:18 @ Even in his servants he puts no trust, and his angels he charges with error;

rsv@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.

rsv@Job:4:20 @ Between morning and evening they are destroyed; they perish for ever without any regarding it.

rsv@Job:4:21 @ If their tent-cord is plucked up within them, do they not die, and that without wisdom?'
