vw@Job:4:1 @ Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said:

vw@Job:4:2 @ If one attempts a word with you, will you become weary? But who can restrain words?

vw@Job:4:3 @ Surely you have instructed many, and you have strengthened weak hands.

vw@Job:4:4 @ Your words have upheld him who was stumbling, and you have strengthened the feeble knees.

vw@Job:4:5 @ But now it comes upon you, and you are weary; it touches you, and you are dismayed.

vw@Job:4:6 @ Is not your reverence your confidence? And the integrity of your ways your hope?

vw@Job:4:7 @ Remember now, who ever perished being innocent? Or where were the upright ever cut off?

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

vw@Job:4:9 @ By the breath of God they perish, and by the breath of His nostrils they are destroyed.

vw@Job:4:10 @ The roaring of the lion, the voice of the fierce lion, and the teeth of the young lions are broken.

vw@Job:4:11 @ The old lion perishes for lack of prey, and the cubs of the lioness are scattered.

vw@Job:4:12 @ Now a word was brought to me by stealth, and my ear received a whisper of it.

vw@Job:4:13 @ In the uncertainties from the visions of the night, when a man falls into deep sleep,

vw@Job:4:14 @ fear and trembling befell me, which made all my bones dread.

vw@Job:4:15 @ Then a spirit passed before my face; the hair on my flesh stood up.

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

vw@Job:4:17 @ Is mortal man more righteous than God? Is a strong man more pure than his Maker?

vw@Job:4:18 @ Behold He puts no trust in His servants, and He charges His angels with error;

vw@Job:4:19 @ even more so those who dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, who are crushed before the grass!

vw@Job:4:20 @ They are crushed from morning till evening; they perish forever, with no one regarding.

vw@Job:4:21 @ Is not their own excellence within them removed? They die, even without wisdom.
