mkjv - Job:4-5

mkjv@Job:4:1 @ And Eliphaz the Temanite answered:

mkjv@Job:4:2 @ Shall one try a word with you, you [who] are weary? But who can hold back with words?

mkjv@Job:4:3 @ Behold, you have instructed many, and you have made the weak hands strong.

mkjv@Job:4:4 @ Your words have upheld him who was falling, and you have made strong the feeble knees.

mkjv@Job:4:5 @ But now it has come upon you, and you faint. It touches you, and you are troubled.

mkjv@Job:4:6 @ [Is] not your reverence your hope? Is not your hope the uprightness of your ways?

mkjv@Job:4:7 @ Remember, please, who [ever] perished, being innocent? Or where were the righteous cut off?

mkjv@Job:4:8 @ As I have seen, the ones who plow iniquity and sow wickedness reap the same.

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

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

mkjv@Job:4:11 @ The strong lion perishes for lack of prey, and the strong lion's cubs are scattered abroad.

mkjv@Job:4:12 @ And a word was secretly brought to me, and my ear received a little of it.

mkjv@Job:4:13 @ In thoughts from the visions of the night, when deep sleep falls upon men,

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

mkjv@Job:4:15 @ And a spirit passed before my face; the hair of my flesh stood up.

mkjv@Job:4:16 @ It stood still, but I could not tell the form of it. An image [was] before my eyes; silence; then I heard a voice,

mkjv@Job:4:17 @ Shall mortal [man] be more just than God? Shall a man be more pure than his Maker?

mkjv@Job:4:18 @ Behold, He puts no trust in His servants, and His angels He charges with folly!

mkjv@Job:4:19 @ How much less [in] those who live in houses of clay, whose foundation [is] in the dust, [who] are crushed before the moth?

mkjv@Job:4:20 @ They are destroyed from morning till evening; they perish forever without anyone caring.

mkjv@Job:4:21 @ Is not their tent cord plucked up within them? They die, but not with wisdom.

mkjv@Job:5:1 @ Call now, is there anyone who will answer you? And to which of the saints will you turn?

mkjv@Job:5:2 @ For vexation kills the fool, and envy slays the simple one.

mkjv@Job:5:3 @ I have seen the fool taking root, but suddenly I cursed his dwelling place.

mkjv@Job:5:4 @ His children are far from safety, and they are crushed in the gate, nor [is there] any to deliver [them].

mkjv@Job:5:5 @ Their harvest the hungry eats, and takes it even out of the thorns; and the snare swallows up their wealth.

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

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

mkjv@Job:5:8 @ Truly, I would seek to God, and to God I would put my plea,

mkjv@Job:5:9 @ [Who is] doing great things, even beyond searching; marvelous things without number,

mkjv@Job:5:10 @ who gives rain on the earth and sends waters on the field,

mkjv@Job:5:11 @ to set on high those who are low, so that those who mourn may be lifted up [to] safety;

mkjv@Job:5:12 @ frustrating the plans of the crafty, nor did their hands do wisely.

mkjv@Job:5:13 @ [He] takes the wise in their own craftiness; and the counsel of the wily is carried headlong.

mkjv@Job:5:14 @ They meet with darkness in the day time, and grope in the noonday as in the night.

mkjv@Job:5:15 @ But He saves the poor from the sword, from their mouth, and from the hand of the mighty.

mkjv@Job:5:16 @ And there is hope for the weak, and injustice shuts her mouth.

mkjv@Job:5:17 @ Behold, blessed [is] the man whom God corrects. Therefore do not despise the chastening of the Almighty.

mkjv@Job:5:18 @ For He makes sore, and binds up; He wounds, and His hands make whole.

mkjv@Job:5:19 @ He will deliver you in six troubles; yea, in seven no evil shall touch you.

mkjv@Job:5:20 @ In famine He shall redeem you from death; and in war from the power of the sword.

mkjv@Job:5:21 @ You shall be hidden from the whip of the tongue; neither shall you be afraid of robbery when it comes.

mkjv@Job:5:22 @ At destruction and famine you shall laugh; neither shall you be afraid of the beasts of the earth.

mkjv@Job:5:23 @ For you [shall be] in covenant with the stones of the field; and the beasts of the field shall be at peace with you.

mkjv@Job:5:24 @ And you shall know that your tent [is in] peace; and you shall visit your fold, and shall miss nothing.

mkjv@Job:5:25 @ And [you] shall know that your seed [will be] numerous, and your offspring as the grass of the earth.

mkjv@Job:5:26 @ You shall come to [your] grave in a full age, like a shock of grain comes in its season.

mkjv@Job:5:27 @ Behold this: we have searched it; it is so. Hear it and know for yourself.

mkjv@Job:6:1 @ And Job answered and said,
