Job 4

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