en_RV1895 - Job 4 - Ozzuu Bible

¹ Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite, and said,

² If one assay to commune with thee, wilt thou be grieved? But who can withhold himself from speaking?

³ Behold, thou hast instructed many, And thou hast strengthened the weak hands

⁴ Thy words have upholden him that was falling, And thou hast confirmed the feeble knees

⁵ But now it is come unto thee, and thou faintest; It toucheth thee, and thou art troubled

⁶ Is not thy fear of God thy confidence, And thy hope the integrity of thy ways?

⁷ Remember, I pray thee, who ever perished, being innocent? Or where were the upright cut off?

⁸ According as I have seen, they that plow iniquity, And sow trouble, reap the same

⁹ By the breath of God they perish, And by the blast of his anger are they consumed

¹⁰ The roaring of the lion, and the voice of the fierce lion, And the teeth of the young lions, are broken

¹¹ The old lion perisheth for lack of prey, And the whelps of the lioness are scattered abroad

¹² Now a thing was secretly brought to me, And mine ear received a whisper thereof

¹³ In thoughts from the visions of the night, When deep sleep falleth on men,

¹⁴ Fear came upon me, and trembling, Which made all my bones to shake

¹⁵ Then a spirit passed before my face; The hair of my flesh stood up

¹⁶ It stood still, but I could not discern the appearance thereof; A form was before mine eyes: There was silence, and I heard a voice, saying,

¹⁷ Shall mortal man be more just than God? Shall a man be more pure than his Maker?

¹⁸ Behold, he putteth no trust in his servants; And his angels he chargeth with folly:

¹⁹ How much more them that dwell in houses of clay, Whose foundation is in the dust, Which are crushed before the moth!

²⁰ Betwixt morning and evening they are destroyed: They perish for ever without any regarding it

²¹ Is not their tent-cord plucked up within them? They die, and that without wisdom.
