Chapter 4

1


 

  And Eliphaz the Temanite answereth and saith: --  

 

 

--

2


 

  Hath one tried a word with thee? -- Thou art weary! And to keep in words who is able?  

 

 

--

3


 

  Lo, thou hast instructed many, And feeble hands thou makest strong.  

 

 

--

4


 

  The stumbling one do thy words raise up, And bowing knees thou dost strengthen.  

 

 

--

5


 

  But now, it cometh in unto thee, And thou art weary; It striketh unto thee, and thou art troubled.  

 

 

--

6


 

  Is not thy reverence thy confidence? Thy hope -- the perfection of thy ways?  

 

 

--

7


 

  Remember, I pray thee, Who, being innocent, hath perished? And where have the upright been cut off?  

 

 

--

8


 

  As I have seen -- ploughers of iniquity, And sowers of misery, reap it!  

 

 

--

9


 

  From the breath of God they perish, And from the spirit of His anger consumed.  

 

 

--

10


 

  The roaring of a lion, And the voice of a fierce lion, And teeth of young lions have been broken.  

 

 

--

11


 

  An old lion is perishing without prey, And the whelps of the lioness do separate.  

 

 

--

12


 

  And unto me a thing is secretly brought, And receive doth mine ear a little of it.  

 

 

--

13


 

  In thoughts from visions of the night, In the falling of deep sleep on men,  

 

 

--

14


 

  Fear hath met me, and trembling, And the multitude of my bones caused to fear.  

 

 

--

15


 

  And a spirit before my face doth pass, Stand up doth the hair of my flesh;  

 

 

--

16


 

  It standeth, and I discern not its aspect, A similitude [is] over-against mine eyes, Silence! and a voice I hear:  

 

 

--

17


 

  'Is mortal man than God more righteous? Than his Maker is a man cleaner?  

 

 

--

18


 

  Lo, in His servants He putteth no credence, Nor in His messengers setteth praise.'  

 

 

--

19


 

  Also -- the inhabitants of houses of clay, (Whose foundation [is] in the dust, They bruise them before a moth.)  

 

 

--

20


 

  From morning to evening are beaten down, Without any regarding, for ever they perish.  

 

 

--

21


 

  Hath not their excellency been removed with them? They die, and not in wisdom!
