Job Chapter 4
4:1. Then Eliphaz, the Themanite, answered, and said:
4:2. If we begin to speak to thee, perhaps thou wilt take it ill; but
who can withhold the words he hath conceived?
4:3. Behold thou hast taught many, and thou hast strengthened the weary
hands:
4:4. Thy words have confirmed them that were staggering, and thou hast
strengthened the trembling knees:
4:5. But now the scourge is come upon thee, and thou faintest: It hath
touched thee, and thou art troubled.
4:6. Where is thy fear, thy fortitude, thy patience, and the perfection
of thy ways?
4:7. Remember, I pray thee, who ever perished being innocent? or when
were the just destroyed?
4:8. On the contrary, I have seen those who work iniquity, and sow
sorrows, and reap them,
4:9. Perishing by the blast of God, and consumed by the spirit of his
wrath.
4:10. The roaring of the lion, and the voice of the lioness, and the
teeth of the whelps of lions, are broken:
4:11. The tiger hath perished for want of prey, and the young lions are
scattered abroad.
4:12. Now there was a word spoken to me in private, and my ears by
stealth, as it were, received the veins of its whisper.
4:13. In the horror of a vision by night, when deep sleep is wont to
hold men,
4:14. Fear seized upon me, and trembling, and all my bones were
affrighted:
4:15. And when a spirit passed before me, the hair of my flesh stood up.
4:16. There stood one whose countenance I knew not, an image before my
eyes, and I heard the voice, as it were, of a gentle wind.
4:17. Shall man be justified in comparison of God, or shall a man be
more pure than his maker?
Shall man be justified in comparison of God, etc... These are the words
which Eliphaz had heard from an angel, which, ver. 15, he calls a
spirit.
4:18. Behold, they that serve him are not steadfast, and in his angels
he found wickedness:
4:19. How much more shall they that dwell in houses of clay, who have an
earthly foundation, be consumed as with the moth?
4:20. From morning till evening they shall be cut down: and because no
one understandeth, they shall perish for ever.
4:21. And they that shall be left, shall be taken away from them: they
shall die, and not in wisdom.
Job Chapter 5
5:1. Call now, if there be any that will answer thee, and turn to some
of the saints.
5:2. Anger indeed killeth the foolish, and envy slayeth the little one.
5:3. I have seen a fool with a strong root, and I cursed his beauty
immediately.
5:4. His children shall be far from safety, and shall be destroyed in
the gate, and there shall be none to deliver them.
