rotherham - Job:4-5

rotherham@Job:4:1 @ Then responded Eliphaz the Temanite, and said:

rotherham@Job:4:2 @ If one attempt a word unto thee, wilt thou be impatient? But, to restrain speech, who, can endure?

rotherham@Job:4:3 @ Lo! thou hast admonished many, and, slack hands, hast thou been wont to uphold:

rotherham@Job:4:4 @ Him that was stumbling, have thy words raised up, and, sinking knees, hast thou strengthened.

rotherham@Job:4:5 @ But, now, it cometh upon thee, and thou despairest, It smiteth even thee, and thou art dismayed.

rotherham@Job:4:6 @ Is not, thy reverence, thy confidence? And is not, thy hope, the very integrity of thy ways?

rotherham@Job:4:7 @ Remember, I pray thee, who, being innocent, hath perished, or when, the upright, have been cut off.

rotherham@Job:4:8 @ So far as I have seen, They who plow for iniquity and sow misery, reap the same:

rotherham@Job:4:9 @ By the blast of GOD, they perish, And, by the breath of his nostrils, are they consumed:

rotherham@Job:4:10 @ the roaring of the lion, and the noise of the howling lion, yet, the teeth of the fierce lions, are broken:

rotherham@Job:4:11 @ The strong lion perishing for lack of prey, Even the whelps of the lioness, are scattered.

rotherham@Job:4:12 @ But, unto me, something was brought by stealth, and mine ear caught a whispering of the same:

rotherham@Job:4:13 @ When there were thoughts, from visions of the night, When deep sleep falleth upon men,

rotherham@Job:4:14 @ Dread, came upon me, and trembling, The multitude of my bones, it put in dread:

rotherham@Job:4:15 @ Then, a spirit, over my face, floated along, The hair of my flesh bristled-up:

rotherham@Job:4:16 @ It stood still, but I could not distinguish its appearance, I looked, but there was no form before mine eyes, A whispering voice, I heard:-

rotherham@Job:4:17 @ Shall, mortal man, be more just than GOD? Or a man be more pure than, his Maker?

rotherham@Job:4:18 @ Lo! in his own servants, he trusteth not, and, his own messengers, he chargeth with error:

rotherham@Job:4:19 @ How much more the dwellers in houses of clay, which, in the dust, have their foundation, which are crushed sooner than a moth:

rotherham@Job:4:20 @ Betwixt morning and evening, are they broken in pieces, With none to save, they utterly perish:

rotherham@Job:4:21 @ Is not their tent-rope within them, torn away? They die, disrobed of wisdom!

rotherham@Job:5:1 @ Call, I pray theeis there one to answer thee? Or, to which of the holy ones, wilt thou turn?

rotherham@Job:5:2 @ For, to the foolish man, death is caused by vexation, and, the simple one, is slain by jealousy.

rotherham@Job:5:3 @ I, have seen the foolish taking root, and then hath his home decayed, in a moment:

rotherham@Job:5:4 @ His children are far removed from safety, and they are crushed in the gate, and there is none to deliver:

rotherham@Job:5:5 @ Whose harvest, the hungry, eateth up, and, even out of thorn hedges, he taketh it, and the snare gapeth for their substance.

rotherham@Job:5:6 @ For sorrow, cometh not forth out of the dust, nor, out of the ground, sprouteth trouble.

rotherham@Job:5:7 @ Though, man, to trouble, were born, as, sparks, on high, do soar,

rotherham@Job:5:8 @ Yet indeed, I, would seek unto El, and, unto Elohim, would I set forth any cause:

rotherham@Job:5:9 @ Who doeth great things, beyond all search, Wondrous things, till they cannot be recounted;

rotherham@Job:5:10 @ Who giveth rain, upon the face of the earth, and sendeth forth waters, over the face of the open fields;

rotherham@Job:5:11 @ Setting the lowly on high, and, mourners, are uplifted to safety;

rotherham@Job:5:12 @ Who doth frustrate the schemes of the crafty, that their hands cannot achieve abiding success;

rotherham@Job:5:13 @ Who captureth the wise in their own craftiness, yea the headlong counsel of the crooked:

rotherham@Job:5:14 @ By day, they encounter darkness, and, as though it were night, they grope at high noon.

rotherham@Job:5:15 @ But he saveth from the sword, out of their mouth, and, out of the hand of the strong, the needy.

rotherham@Job:5:16 @ Thus to the poor hath come hope, and, perversity, hath shut her mouth.

rotherham@Job:5:17 @ Lo! how happy is the man whom God correcteth! Therefore, the chastening of the Almighty, do not thou refuse;

rotherham@Job:5:18 @ For, he, woundeth that he may bind up, He smiteth through, that, his own hands, may heal.

rotherham@Job:5:19 @ In six troubles, he will rescue thee, and, in seven, there shall smite thee no misfortune:

rotherham@Job:5:20 @ In famine, he will ransom thee from death, and in battle from the power of the sword;

rotherham@Job:5:21 @ During the scourge of the tongue, shalt thou be hid, neither shalt thou be afraid of destruction when it cometh;

rotherham@Job:5:22 @ At destruction and at hunger, shalt thou laugh, and, of the wild beast of the earth, be not thou afraid;

rotherham@Job:5:23 @ For, with the stones of the field, shall be thy covenant, and, the wild beast of the field, hath been made thy friend;

rotherham@Job:5:24 @ And thou shalt know that, at peace, is thy tent, and shalt visit thy fold, and miss nothing;

rotherham@Job:5:25 @ And thou shalt know, that numerous is thy seed, and, thine offspring, like the young shoots of the field.

rotherham@Job:5:26 @ Thou shalt come, yet robust, to the grave, as a stack of sheaves mounteth up in its season.

rotherham@Job:5:27 @ Lo! as for this, we have searched it outso, it is, Hear it, and know, thou, for thyself.

rotherham@Job:6:1 @ Then responded Job, and said:
