Job:4-5
web@Job:4:1 @Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered,
web@Job:4:2 @"If someone ventures to talk with you, will you be grieved? But who can withhold himself from speaking?
web@Job:4:3 @Behold, you have instructed many, you have strengthened the weak hands.
web@Job:4:4 @Your words have supported him who was falling, You have made firm the feeble knees.
web@Job:4:5 @But now it has come to you, and you faint. It touches you, and you are troubled.
web@Job:4:6 @Isn't your piety your confidence? Isn't the integrity of your ways your hope?
web@Job:4:7 @"Remember, now, whoever perished, being innocent? Or where were the upright cut off?
web@Job:4:8 @According to what I have seen, those who plow iniquity, and sow trouble, reap the same.
web@Job:4:9 @By the breath of God they perish. By the blast of his anger are they consumed.
web@Job:4:10 @The roaring of the lion, and the voice of the fierce lion, the teeth of the young lions, are broken.
web@Job:4:11 @The old lion perishes for lack of prey. The cubs of the lioness are scattered abroad.
web@Job:4:12 @"Now a thing was secretly brought to me. My ear received a whisper of it.
web@Job:4:13 @In thoughts from the visions of the night, when deep sleep falls on men,
web@Job:4:14 @fear came on me, and trembling, which made all my bones shake.
web@Job:4:15 @Then a spirit passed before my face. The hair of my flesh stood up.
web@Job:4:16 @It stood still, but I couldn't discern its appearance. A form was before my eyes. Silence, then I heard a voice, saying,
web@Job:4:17 @'Shall mortal man be more just than God? Shall a man be more pure than his Maker?
web@Job:4:18 @Behold, he puts no trust in his servants. He charges his angels with error.
web@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!
web@Job:4:20 @Between morning and evening they are destroyed. They perish forever without any regarding it.
web@Job:4:21 @Isn't their tent cord plucked up within them? They die, and that without wisdom.'
web@Job:5:1 @"Call now; is there any who will answer you? To which of the holy ones will you turn?
web@Job:5:2 @For resentment kills the foolish man, and jealousy kills the simple.
web@Job:5:3 @I have seen the foolish taking root, but suddenly I cursed his habitation.
web@Job:5:4 @His children are far from safety. They are crushed in the gate. Neither is there any to deliver them,
web@Job:5:5 @whose harvest the hungry eats up, and take it even out of the thorns. The snare gapes for their substance.
web@Job:5:6 @For affliction doesn't come forth from the dust, neither does trouble spring out of the ground;
web@Job:5:7 @but man is born to trouble, as the sparks fly upward.
web@Job:5:8 @"But as for me, I would seek God. I would commit my cause to God,
web@Job:5:9 @who does great things that can't be fathomed, marvelous things without number;
web@Job:5:10 @who gives rain on the earth, and sends waters on the fields;
web@Job:5:11 @so that he sets up on high those who are low, those who mourn are exalted to safety.
web@Job:5:12 @He frustrates the devices of the crafty, So that their hands can't perform their enterprise.
web@Job:5:13 @He takes the wise in their own craftiness; the counsel of the cunning is carried headlong.
web@Job:5:14 @They meet with darkness in the day time, and grope at noonday as in the night.
web@Job:5:15 @But he saves from the sword of their mouth, even the needy from the hand of the mighty.
web@Job:5:16 @So the poor has hope, and injustice shuts her mouth.
web@Job:5:17 @"Behold, happy is the man whom God corrects. Therefore do not despise the chastening of the Almighty.
web@Job:5:18 @For he wounds, and binds up. He injures, and his hands make whole.
web@Job:5:19 @He will deliver you in six troubles; yes, in seven no evil shall touch you.
web@Job:5:20 @In famine he will redeem you from death; in war, from the power of the sword.
web@Job:5:21 @You shall be hidden from the scourge of the tongue, neither shall you be afraid of destruction when it comes.
web@Job:5:22 @At destruction and famine you shall laugh, neither shall you be afraid of the animals of the earth.
web@Job:5:23 @For you shall be allied with the stones of the field. The animals of the field shall be at peace with you.
web@Job:5:24 @You shall know that your tent is in peace. You shall visit your fold, and shall miss nothing.
web@Job:5:25 @You shall know also that your seed shall be great, Your offspring as the grass of the earth.
web@Job:5:26 @You shall come to your grave in a full age, like a shock of grain comes in its season.
web@Job:5:27 @Look this, we have searched it, so it is. Hear it, and know it for your good."
