< Job 4 >

1 Then Eliphaz the Temanite replied:
And he answered Eliphaz the Temanite and he said.
2 “If one ventures a word with you, will you be wearied? Yet who can keep from speaking?
¿ Did someone attempt a word to you will you be impatient? and to restrain words who? is he able.
3 Surely you have instructed many, and have strengthened their feeble hands.
There! you have instructed many [people] and hands slack you strengthened.
4 Your words have steadied those who stumbled; you have braced the knees that were buckling.
[the] stumbling They raised! words your and knees bending you strengthened.
5 But now trouble has come upon you, and you are weary. It strikes you, and you are dismayed.
For now - it comes to you and you have become impatient it reaches to you and you have become dismayed.
6 Is your reverence not your confidence, and the uprightness of your ways your hope?
¿ Not [is] fear your confidence your hope your and [the] integrity of ways your.
7 Consider now, I plead: Who, being innocent, has ever perished? Or where have the upright been destroyed?
Remember please who? that innocent did he perish and where? upright [people] were they destroyed.
8 As I have observed, those who plow iniquity and those who sow trouble reap the same.
Just as I have seen plowers of wickedness and sowers of mischief they harvest it.
9 By the breath of God they perish, and by the blast of His anger they are consumed.
From [the] breath of God they perish and from [the] breath of anger his they come to an end.
10 The lion may roar, and the fierce lion may growl, yet the teeth of the young lions are broken.
[the] roaring of A lion and [the] sound of a lion and [the] teeth of young lions they are broken out.
11 The old lion perishes for lack of prey, and the cubs of the lioness are scattered.
A lion [is] perishing because not prey and [the] young of a lion they are scattered.
12 Now a word came to me secretly; my ears caught a whisper of it.
And to me a word it was brought secretly and it received ear my a whisper of it.
13 In disquieting visions in the night, when deep sleep falls on men,
In disquieting thoughts from visions of [the] night when falls deep sleep on people.
14 fear and trembling came over me and made all my bones shudder.
Fear it happened to me and trembling and [the] multitude of bones my it caused to tremble.
15 Then a spirit glided past my face, and the hair on my body bristled.
And a wind over face my it passed over it made bristle [the] hair of flesh my.
16 It stood still, but I could not discern its appearance; a form loomed before my eyes, and I heard a whispering voice:
It stood still - and not I recognized appearance its a form [was] to before eyes my a whisper and a voice I heard.
17 ‘Can a mortal be more righteous than God, or a man more pure than his Maker?
¿ A person from God will he be righteous or? from maker his will he be pure a man.
18 If God puts no trust in His servants, and He charges His angels with error,
There! in servants his not he trusts and against messengers his he charges error.
19 how much more those who dwell in houses of clay, whose foundations are in the dust, who can be crushed like a moth!
Also - [those who] dwell of houses of clay which [is] in the dust foundation their people crush them before a moth.
20 They are smashed to pieces from dawn to dusk; unnoticed, they perish forever.
From morning to evening they are crushed to pieces because not [one who] sets to perpetuity they perish.
21 Are not their tent cords pulled up, so that they die without wisdom?’
¿ Not has it been pulled up tent cord their in them will they die? and not with wisdom.
