Job:4-5

noyes@Job:4:1 @ Then spake Eliphaz the Temanite, and said:

noyes@Job:4:2 @ If one attempt a word with thee, wilt thou be offended? But who can refrain from speaking?

noyes@Job:4:3 @ Behold, thou hast admonished many; Thou hast strengthened feeble hands;

noyes@Job:4:4 @ Thy words have upheld him that was falling, And thou hast given strength to feeble knees.

noyes@Job:4:5 @ But now it is come upon thee, and thou faintest; It toucheth thee, and thou art confounded!

noyes@Job:4:6 @ Is not thy fear of God thy hope, And the uprightness of thy ways thy confidence?

noyes@Job:4:7 @ Remember, I pray thee, who ever perished being innocent? Or where have the righteous been cut off?

noyes@Job:4:8 @ According to what I have seen, they who plough iniquity, And sow mischief, reap the same.

noyes@Job:4:9 @ By the blast of God they perish, And by the breath of his nostrils they are consumed.

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

noyes@Job:4:11 @ The fierce lion perisheth for lack of prey, And the whelps of the lioness are scattered abroad.

noyes@Job:4:12 @ A word was once secretly brought to me, And mine ear caught a whisper thereof.

noyes@Job:4:13 @ Amid thoughts from visions of the night, When deep sleep falleth upon men,

noyes@Job:4:14 @ A fear and a horror came upon me, Which made all my bones to shake.

noyes@Job:4:15 @ Then a spirit passed before my face, The hair of my flesh rose on end;

noyes@Job:4:16 @ It stood still, but its form I could not discern; An image was before mine eyes; There was silence, and I heard a voice:

noyes@Job:4:17 @ "Shall mortal man be more just than God? Shall man be more pure than his Maker?

noyes@Job:4:18 @ Behold, he putteth no trust in his ministering spirits, And his angels he chargeth with frailty.

noyes@Job:4:19 @ What then are they who dwell in houses of clay, Whose foundation is in the dust, Who crumble to pieces, as if motheaten!

noyes@Job:4:20 @ Between morning and evening are they destroyed; They perish for ever, and none regardeth it.

noyes@Job:4:21 @ The excellency that is in them is torn away; They die before they have become wise."

noyes@Job:5:1 @ Call now, see if any will answer thee! And to which of the holy ones wilt thou look?

noyes@Job:5:2 @ Verily grief destroyeth the fool, And wrath consumeth the weak man.

noyes@Job:5:3 @ I have seen an impious man taking root, But soon I cursed his habitation.

noyes@Job:5:4 @ His children are far from safety; They are oppressed at the gate, and there is none to deliver them.

noyes@Job:5:5 @ His harvest the hungry devour, Carrying it even through the thorns; And a snare gapeth after his substance.

noyes@Job:5:6 @ For affliction cometh not from the dust, Nor doth trouble spring up from the ground;

noyes@Job:5:7 @ Behold, man is born to trouble, As the sparks fly upward.

noyes@Job:5:8 @ I would look to God, And to God would I commit my cause,

noyes@Job:5:9 @ Who doeth great things and unsearchable; Yea, marvellous things without number;

noyes@Job:5:10 @ Who giveth rain upon the earth, And sendeth water upon the fields;

noyes@Job:5:11 @ Who placeth the lowly in high places, And restoreth the afflicted to prosperity;

noyes@Job:5:12 @ Who disappointeth the devices of the crafty, So that their hands cannot perform their enterprises;

noyes@Job:5:13 @ Who taketh the wise in their own craftiness, And bringeth to nought the counsel of the artful.

noyes@Job:5:14 @ They meet with darkness in the daytime; They grope at noon as if it were night.

noyes@Job:5:15 @ So he saveth the persecuted from their mouth; The oppressed from the hand of the mighty.

noyes@Job:5:16 @ So the poor hath hope, And iniquity stoppeth her mouth.

noyes@Job:5:17 @ Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth; Therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty.

noyes@Job:5:18 @ For he bruiseth, and bindeth up; He woundeth, and his hands make whole.

noyes@Job:5:19 @ In six troubles will he deliver thee; Yea, in seven shall no evil touch thee.

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

noyes@Job:5:21 @ Thou shalt be safe from the scourge of the tongue, And shalt not be afraid of destruction, when it cometh.

noyes@Job:5:22 @ At destruction and famine thou shalt laugh, And of the wild beasts of the land shalt thou not be afraid.

noyes@Job:5:23 @ For thou shalt be in league with the stones of the field; Yea, the beasts of the forest shall be at peace with thee.

noyes@Job:5:24 @ Thou shalt find that thy tent is in peace; Thou shalt visit thy dwelling, and not be disappointed.

noyes@Job:5:25 @ Thou shalt see thy descendants numerous, And thine offspring as the grass of the earth.

noyes@Job:5:26 @ Thou shalt come to thy grave in full age, As a shock of corn gathered in its season.

noyes@Job:5:27 @ Lo! this we have searched out; so it is: Hear it, and lay it up in thy mind!
