Job 4

1Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said, 2we assay to commune with you, will you be grieved? but who can withhold himself from speaking? 3Behold, you hast instructed many, and you hast strengthened the weak hands. 4your words have upholden him that was falling, and you hast strengthened the feeble knees. 5But now it is come upon you, and you faintest; it toucheth you, and you art troubled. 6not your fear, your confidence, your hope, and the uprightness of your ways? 7Remember, I pray you, who perished, being innocent? or where were the righteous cut off? 8Even as I have seen, they that plow iniquity, and sow wickedness, reap the same. 9By the blast of Elohim they perish, and by the breath of his nostrils are they consumed. 10The roaring of the lion, and the voice of the fierce lion, and the teeth of the young lions, are broken. 11The old lion perisheth for lack of prey, and the stout lion's whelps are scattered abroad. 12Now a thing was secretly brought to me, and mine ear received a little thereof. 13In thoughts from the visions of the night, when deep sleep falleth on men, 14Fear came upon me, and trembling, which made all my bones to shake. 15Then a spirit passed before my face; the hair of my flesh stood up: 16It stood still, but I could not discern the form thereof: an image before mine eyes, silence, and I heard a voice, , 17Shall mortal man be more just than Elohim? shall a man be more pure than his maker? 18Behold, he put no trust in his servants; and his angels he charged with folly: 19How much less them that dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation in the dust, are crushed before the moth? 20They are destroyed from morning to evening: they perish for ever without any regarding . 21does not their excellency in them go away? they die, even without wisdom.
