Jb 4:1Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,
Jb 4:2 If one attempts a word with you, will you be wearied by it? / But who can refrain from speaking?
Jb 4:3 Indeed, you have instructed many, / And you have strengthened the weak hands.
Jb 4:4 Your words have raised up him who was stumbling, / And you have made the bowing knees firm.
Jb 4:5 But now it comes to you, and you are wearied by it; / It touches you, and you are disturbed.
Jb 4:6 Is not your fear of God your confidence, / And the integrity of your ways your hope?
Jb 4:7 Remember now, who, being innocent, has ever perished? / And where have the upright ever been cut off?
Jb 4:8 According to what I have seen, those who plow iniquity / And those who sow trouble reap the same.
Jb 4:9 By the breath of God they perish, / And by the blast of His anger they are consumed.
Jb 4:10 The roaring of the lion and the sound of the fierce lion / And the teeth of the young lions are broken;
Jb 4:11 The strong lion perishes for lack of prey, / And the whelps of the lioness are scattered.
Jb 4:12 But a matter has stolen in unto me, / And my ear has received a whisper of it.
Jb 4:13 In perplexing thoughts of the night visions, / When deep sleep falls upon men,
Jb 4:14 Dread came upon me, and trembling, / And caused all my bones to dread.
Jb 4:15 And a spirit passed before my face; / The hair of my flesh bristled.
Jb 4:16 It stood still, but I could not discern its appearance; / A form stood before my eyes; / I heard a murmur of a voice:
Jb 4:17 Can a mortal man be more righteous than God? / Can a man be purer than his Maker?
Jb 4:18 If He puts no trust in His servants, / And He charges His angels with error,
Jb 4:19 How much more those who dwell in houses of clay, / Whose foundation is in dust, / Who are crushed like a moth!
Jb 4:20 From morning to evening they are smashed to pieces; / Without any considering it, they continually perish.
Jb 4:21 Should their tent cord be plucked up within them, / They die, and not in wisdom.
