Job 4:1--5:27

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>_.

5:1

Call
<07121> (8798)

now, if there be
<03426>

any that will answer
<06030> (8802)

thee; and to which of the saints
<06918>

wilt thou turn
<06437> (8799)_?

{turn: or, look?}

5:2

For wrath
<03708>

killeth
<02026> (8799)

the foolish man
<0191>_,

and envy
<07068>

slayeth
<04191> (8686)

the silly one
<06601> (8802)_.

{envy: or, indignation}

5:3

I have seen
<07200> (8804)

the foolish
<0191>

taking root
<08327> (8688)_:

but suddenly
<06597>

I cursed
<05344> (8799)

his habitation
<05116>_.

5:4

His children
<01121>

are far
<07368> (8799)

from safety
<03468>_,

and they are crushed
<01792> (8691)

in the gate
<08179>_,

neither [is there] any to deliver
<05337> (8688)

[them].

5:5

Whose harvest
<07105>

the hungry
<07457>

eateth up
<0398> (8799)_,

and taketh
<03947> (8799)

it even out
<0413>

of the thorns
<06791>_,

and the robber
<06782>

swalloweth up
<07602> (8804)

their substance
<02428>_.

5:6

Although affliction
<0205>

cometh not forth
<03318> (8799)

of the dust
<06083>_,

neither doth trouble
<05999>

spring out
<06779> (8799)

of the ground
<0127>_;

{affliction: or, iniquity}

5:7

Yet man
<0120>

is born
<03205> (8795)

unto trouble
<05999>_,

as the sparks
<01121> <07565>

fly
<05774> (8800)

upward
<01361> (8686)_.

{trouble: or, labour} {sparks...: Heb. the sons of the burning coal lift up to fly}

5:8

I would seek
<0199> <01875> (8799)

unto God
<0410>_,

and unto God
<0430>

would I commit
<07760> (8799)

my cause
<01700>_:

5:9

Which doeth
<06213> (8802)

great things
<01419>

and unsearchable
<0369> <02714>_;

marvellous things
<06381> (8737)

without number
<04557>_:

{unsearchable: Heb. there is no search} {without...: Heb. till there be no number}

5:10

Who giveth
<05414> (8802)

rain
<04306>

upon
<06440>

the earth
<0776>_,

and sendeth
<07971> (8802)

waters
<04325>

upon
<06440>

the fields
<02351>_:

{fields: Heb. outplaces}

5:11

To set up
<07760> (8800)

on high
<04791>

those that be low
<08217>_;

that those which mourn
<06937> (8802)

may be exalted
<07682> (8804)

to safety
<03468>_.

5:12

He disappointeth
<06565> (8688)

the devices
<04284>

of the crafty
<06175>_,

so that their hands
<03027>

cannot perform
<06213> (8799)

[their] enterprise
<08454>_.

{their enterprise: or, any thing}

5:13

He taketh
<03920> (8802)

the wise
<02450>

in their own craftiness
<06193>_:

and the counsel
<06098>

of the froward
<06617> (8737)

is carried headlong
<04116> (8737)_.

5:14

They meet
<06298> (8762)

with darkness
<02822>

in the daytime
<03119>_,

and grope
<04959> (8762)

in the noonday
<06672>

as in the night
<03915>_.

{meet...: or, run into}

5:15

But he saveth
<03467> (8686)

the poor
<034>

from the sword
<02719>_,

from their mouth
<06310>_,

and from the hand
<03027>

of the mighty
<02389>_.

5:16

So the poor
<01800>

hath hope
<08615>_,

and iniquity
<05766>

stoppeth
<07092> (8804)

her mouth
<06310>_.

5:17

Behold, happy
<0835>

[is] the man
<0582>

whom God
<0433>

correcteth
<03198> (8686)_:

therefore despise
<03988> (8799)

not thou the chastening
<04148>

of the Almighty
<07706>_:

5:18

For he maketh sore
<03510> (8686)_,

and bindeth up
<02280> (8799)_:

he woundeth
<04272> (8799)_,

and his hands
<03027>

make whole
<07495> (8799)_.

5:19

He shall deliver
<05337> (8686)

thee in six
<08337>

troubles
<06869>_:

yea, in seven
<07651>

there shall no evil
<07451>

touch
<05060> (8799)

thee.

5:20

In famine
<07458>

he shall redeem
<06299> (8804)

thee from death
<04194>_:

and in war
<04421>

from the power
<03027>

of the sword
<02719>_.

{power: Heb. hands}

5:21

Thou shalt be hid
<02244> (8735)

from the scourge
<07752>

of the tongue
<03956>_:

neither shalt thou be afraid
<03372> (8799)

of destruction
<07701>

when it cometh
<0935> (8799)_.

{from...: or, when the tongue scourgeth}

5:22

At destruction
<07701>

and famine
<03720>

thou shalt laugh
<07832> (8799)_:

neither shalt thou be afraid
<03372> (8799)

of the beasts
<02416>

of the earth
<0776>_.

5:23

For thou shalt be in league
<01285>

with the stones
<068>

of the field
<07704>_:

and the beasts
<02416>

of the field
<07704>

shall be at peace
<07999> (8717)

with thee.

5:24

And thou shalt know
<03045> (8804)

that thy tabernacle
<0168>

[shall be] in peace
<07965>_;

and thou shalt visit
<06485> (8804)

thy habitation
<05116>_,

and shalt not sin
<02398> (8799)_.

{thy tabernacle...: or, peace is thy tabernacle} {sin: or, err}

5:25

Thou shalt know
<03045> (8804)

also that thy seed
<02233>

[shall be] great
<07227>_,

and thine offspring
<06631>

as the grass
<06212>

of the earth
<0776>_.

{great: or, much}

5:26

Thou shalt come
<0935> (8799)

to [thy] grave
<06913>

in a full age
<03624>_,

like as a shock of corn
<01430>

cometh in
<05927> (8800)

in his season
<06256>_.

{cometh in: Heb. ascendeth}

5:27

Lo this, we have searched
<02713> (8804)

it, so it [is]; hear
<08085> (8798)

it, and know
<03045> (8798)

thou [it] for thy good. {for...: Heb. for thyself}
