acv - Job:4-5

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.

acv@Job:5:1 @ Call now, is there any who will answer thee? And to which of the holy ones will thou turn?

acv@Job:5:2 @ For vexation kills the foolish man, and jealousy slays the silly one.

acv@Job:5:3 @ I have seen the foolish taking root, but suddenly I cursed his habitation.

acv@Job:5:4 @ His sons are far from safety, and they are crushed in the gate. Neither is there any to deliver them,

acv@Job:5:5 @ whose harvest the hungry eat up, and takes it even out of the thorns, and the snare gapes for their substance.

acv@Job:5:6 @ For affliction does not come forth from the dust, nor does trouble spring out of the ground,

acv@Job:5:7 @ but man is born to trouble, as the sparks fly upward.

acv@Job:5:8 @ But as for me, I would seek to God. And to God I would commit my cause,

acv@Job:5:9 @ who does great things and unsearchable, marvelous things without number,

acv@Job:5:10 @ who gives rain upon the earth, and sends waters upon the fields,

acv@Job:5:11 @ so that he sets up on high those who are low, and those who mourn are exalted to safety.

acv@Job:5:12 @ He frustrates the devices of the crafty so that their hands cannot perform their enterprise.

acv@Job:5:13 @ He takes the wise in their own craftiness, and the counsel of the cunning is carried headlong.

acv@Job:5:14 @ They meet with darkness in the daytime, and grope at noonday as in the night.

acv@Job:5:15 @ But he saves from the sword of their mouth, even the needy from the hand of the mighty.

acv@Job:5:16 @ So a poor man has hope, and iniquity stops her mouth.

acv@Job:5:17 @ Behold, happy is the man whom God corrects. Therefore do not despise thou the chastening of the Almighty.

acv@Job:5:18 @ For he injures, and binds up. He wounds, and his hands make whole.

acv@Job:5:19 @ He will deliver thee in six troubles. Yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee.

acv@Job:5:20 @ In famine he will redeem thee from death, and in war from the power of the sword.

acv@Job:5:21 @ Thou shall be hid from the scourge of the tongue. Neither shall thou be afraid of destruction when it comes.

acv@Job:5:22 @ At destruction and dearth thou shall laugh, nor shall thou be afraid of the beasts of the earth.

acv@Job:5:23 @ For thou shall be in league with the stones of the field, and the beasts of the field shall be at peace with thee.

acv@Job:5:24 @ And thou shall know that thy tent is in peace, and thou shall visit thy fold, and shall miss nothing.

acv@Job:5:25 @ Thou shall know also that thy seed shall be great, and thine offspring as the grass of the earth.

acv@Job:5:26 @ Thou shall come to thy grave in a full age, like a shock of grain comes in its season.

acv@Job:5:27 @ Lo this, we have searched it, so it is. Hear it, and know thou it for thy good.

acv@Job:6:1 @ Then Job answered and said,
