Job:4-5




dourh@Job:4:1 @ Then Eliphaz the Themanite answered, and said:

dourh@Job:4:2 @ If we begin to speak to thee, perhaps thou wilt take it ill, but who can withhold the words he hath conceived?

dourh@Job:4:3 @ Behold thou hast taught many, and thou hast strengthened the weary hands:

dourh@Job:4:4 @ Thy words have confirmed them that were staggering, and thou hast strengthened the trembling knees:

dourh@Job:4:5 @ But now the scourge is come upon thee, and thou faintest: it hath touched thee, and thou art troubled.

dourh@Job:4:6 @ Where is thy fear, thy fortitude, thy patience, and the perfection of thy ways?

dourh@Job:4:7 @ Remember, I pray thee, who ever perished being innocent? or when were the just destroyed?

dourh@Job:4:8 @ On the contrary I have seen those who work iniquity, and sow sorrows, and reap them,

dourh@Job:4:9 @ Perishing by the blast of God, and consumed by the spirit of his wrath.

dourh@Job:4:10 @ The roaring of the lion, and the voice of the lioness, and the teeth of the whelps of lions are broken:

dourh@Job:4:11 @ The tiger hath perished for want of prey, and the young lions are scattered abroad.

dourh@Job:4:12 @ Now there was a word spoken to me in private, and my ears by stealth as it were received the veins of its whisper.

dourh@Job:4:13 @ In the horror of a vision by night, when deep sleep is wont to hold men,

dourh@Job:4:14 @ Fear seized upon me, and trembling, and all my bones were affrighted:

dourh@Job:4:15 @ And when a spirit passed before me, the hair of my flesh stood up.

dourh@Job:4:16 @ There stood one whose countenance I knew not, an image before my eyes, and I heard the voice as it were of a gentle wind:

dourh@Job:4:17 @ Shall man be justified in comparison of God, or shall a man be more pure than his maker?

dourh@Job:4:18 @ Behold they that serve him are not steadfast, and in his angels he found wickedness:

dourh@Job:4:19 @ How much more shall they that dwell in houses of clay, who have an earthly foundation, be consumed as with the moth?

dourh@Job:4:20 @ From morning till evening they shall be cut down: and because no one understandeth, they shall perish for ever.

dourh@Job:4:21 @ And they that shall be left, shall be taken away from them: they shall die, and not in wisdom.

dourh@Job:5:1 @ Call now if there be any that will answer thee, and turn to some of the saints.

dourh@Job:5:2 @ Anger indeed killeth the foolish, and envy slayeth the little one.

dourh@Job:5:3 @ I have seen a fool with a strong root, and I cursed his beauty immediately.

dourh@Job:5:4 @ His children shall be far from safety, and shall be destroyed in the gate, and there shall be none to deliver them.

dourh@Job:5:5 @ Whose harvest the hungry shall eat, and the armed man shall take him by violence, and the thirsty shall drink up his riches.

dourh@Job:5:6 @ Nothing upon earth is done without a voice cause, and sorrow doth not spring out of the ground.

dourh@Job:5:7 @ Man is born to labour and the bird to fly.

dourh@Job:5:8 @ Wherefore I will pray to the Lord, and address my speech to God:

dourh@Job:5:9 @ Who doth great things and unsearchable and wonderful things without number:

dourh@Job:5:10 @ Who giveth rain upon the face of the earth, and watereth all things with waters:

dourh@Job:5:11 @ Who setteth up the humble on high, and comforteth with health those that mourn.

dourh@Job:5:12 @ Who bringeth to nought the designs of the malignant, so that their hands cannot accomplish what they had begun:

dourh@Job:5:13 @ Who catcheth the wise in their craftiness, and disappointeth the counsel of the wicked:

dourh@Job:5:14 @ They shall meet with darkness in the day, and grope at noonday as in the night.

dourh@Job:5:15 @ But he shall save the needy from the sword of their mouth, and the poor from the hand of the violent.

dourh@Job:5:16 @ And to the needy there shall he hope, but iniquity shall draw in her mouth.

dourh@Job:5:17 @ Blessed is the mall whom God correcteth: refuse not therefore the chastising of the lord:

dourh@Job:5:18 @ For he woundeth, and cureth: he striketh, and his hands shall heal.

dourh@Job:5:19 @ In six troubles he shall deliver thee, and in the seventh, evil shall not touch thee.

dourh@Job:5:20 @ In famine he shall deliver thee from death: and in battle, from the hand of the sword.

dourh@Job:5:21 @ Thou shalt he hidden from the scourge of the tongue: and thou shalt not fear calamity when it cometh.

dourh@Job:5:22 @ In destruction and famine then shalt laugh: and thou shalt not be afraid of the beasts of the earth.

dourh@Job:5:23 @ But thou shalt have a covenant with the stones of the lands, and the beasts of the earth shall be at pence with thee.

dourh@Job:5:24 @ And thou shalt know that thy tabernacle is in peace, and visiting thy beauty thou shalt not sin.

dourh@Job:5:25 @ Thou shalt know also that thy seed shall be multiplied, and thy offspring like the grass of the earth.

dourh@Job:5:26 @ Thou shalt enter into the grave in abundance, as a heap of wheat is brought in its season.

dourh@Job:5:27 @ Behold, this is even so, as we have searched oat: which thou having heard, consider it thoroughly in thy mind.

dourh@Job:6:1 @ But Job answered, and said:
