Job 4

4:1

Then Eliphaz
<0464>

the Temanite
<08489>

answered
<06030> (8799)

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

4:2

[If] we assay
<05254> (8765)

to commune
<01697>

with thee, wilt thou be grieved
<03811> (8799)_?

but who can
<03201> (8799)

withhold
<06113> (8800)

himself from speaking
<04405>_?

{to...: Heb. a word} {withhold...: Heb. refrain from words?}

4:3

Behold, thou hast instructed
<03256> (8765)

many
<07227>_,

and thou hast strengthened
<02388> (8762)

the weak
<07504>

hands
<03027>_.

4:4

Thy words
<04405>

have upholden
<06965> (8686)

him that was falling
<03782> (8802)_,

and thou hast strengthened
<0553> (8762)

the feeble
<03766> (8802)

knees
<01290>_.

4:5

But now it is come
<0935> (8799)

upon thee, and thou faintest
<03811> (8799)_;

it toucheth
<05060> (8799)

thee, and thou art troubled
<0926> (8735)_.

4:6

[Is] not [this] thy fear
<03374>_,

thy confidence
<03690>_,

thy hope
<08615>_,

and the uprightness
<08537>

of thy ways
<01870>_?

4:7

Remember
<02142> (8798)_,

I pray thee, who [ever] perished
<06> (8804)_,

being innocent
<05355>_?

or where
<0375>

were the righteous
<03477>

cut off
<03582> (8738)_?

4:8

Even as I have seen
<07200> (8804)_,

they that plow
<02790> (8802)

iniquity
<0205>_,

and sow
<02232> (8802)

wickedness
<05999>_,

reap
<07114> (8799)

the same.

4:9

By the blast
<05397>

of God
<0433>

they perish
<06> (8799)_,

and by the breath
<07307>

of his nostrils
<0639>

are they consumed
<03615> (8799)_.

{by the breath...: that is, by his anger}

4:10

The roaring
<07581>

of the lion
<0738>_,

and the voice
<06963>

of the fierce lion
<07826>_,

and the teeth
<08127>

of the young lions
<03715>_,

are broken
<05421> (8738)_.

4:11

The old lion
<03918>

perisheth
<06> (8802)

for lack
<01097>

of prey
<02964>_,

and the stout lion's
<03833>

whelps
<01121>

are scattered abroad
<06504> (8691)_.

4:12

Now a thing
<01697>

was secretly brought
<01589> (8792)

to me, and mine ear
<0241>

received
<03947> (8799)

a little
<08102>

thereof. {secretly: Heb. by stealth}

4:13

In thoughts
<05587>

from the visions
<02384>

of the night
<03915>_,

when deep sleep
<08639>

falleth
<05307> (8800)

on men
<0582>_,

4:14

Fear
<06343>

came
<07122> (8804)

upon me, and trembling
<07461>_,

which made all
<07230>

my bones
<06106>

to shake
<06342> (8689)_.

{came...: Heb. met} {all: Heb. the multitude of}

4:15

Then a spirit
<07307>

passed
<02498> (8799)

before my face
<06440>_;

the hair
<08185>

of my flesh
<01320>

stood up
<05568> (8762)_:

4:16

It stood still
<05975> (8799)_,

but I could not discern
<05234> (8686)

the form
<04758>

thereof: an image
<08544>

[was] before mine eyes
<05869>_,

[there was] silence
<01827>_,

and I heard
<08085> (8799)

a voice
<06963>_,

[saying], {there...: or, I heard a still voice}

4:17

Shall mortal man
<0582>

be more just
<06663> (8799)

than God
<0433>_?

shall a man
<01397>

be more pure
<02891> (8799)

than his maker
<06213> (8802)_?

4:18

Behold, he put no trust
<0539> (8686)

in his servants
<05650>_;

and his angels
<04397>

he charged
<07760> (8799)

with folly
<08417>_:

{and his...: or, nor in his angels, in whom he put light}

4:19

How much less
<0637>

[in] them that dwell
<07931> (8802)

in houses
<01004>

of clay
<02563>_,

whose foundation
<03247>

[is] in the dust
<06083>_,

[which] are crushed
<01792> (8762)

before
<06440>

the moth
<06211>_?

4:20

They are destroyed
<03807> (8714)

from morning
<01242>

to evening
<06153>_:

they perish
<06> (8799)

for ever
<05331>

without any regarding
<07760> (8688)

[it]. {destroyed: Heb. beaten in pieces}

4:21

Doth not their excellency
<03499>

[which is] in them go away
<05265> (8738)_?

they die
<04191> (8799)_,

even without wisdom
<02451>_.
