< Job 4 >
1 And he answered Eliphaz the Temanite and he said.
And Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,
2 ¿ Did someone attempt a word to you will you be impatient? and to restrain words who? is he able.
If a word were essayed to thee, wouldest thou be grieved? But who can refrain from speaking?
3 There! you have instructed many [people] and hands slack you strengthened.
Behold, thou hast instructed many, and thou hast strengthened the weak hands;
4 [the] stumbling They raised! words your and knees bending you strengthened.
Thy words have upholden him that was stumbling, and thou hast braced up the bending knees:
5 For now - it comes to you and you have become impatient it reaches to you and you have become dismayed.
But now it is come upon thee, and thou grievest; it toucheth thee, and thou art troubled.
6 ¿ Not [is] fear your confidence your hope your and [the] integrity of ways your.
Hath not thy piety been thy confidence, and the perfection of thy ways thy hope?
7 Remember please who? that innocent did he perish and where? upright [people] were they destroyed.
Remember, I pray thee, who that was innocent has perished? and where were the upright cut off?
8 Just as I have seen plowers of wickedness and sowers of mischief they harvest it.
Even as I have seen, they that plough iniquity and sow mischief, reap the same.
9 From [the] breath of God they perish and from [the] breath of anger his they come to an end.
By the breath of God they perish, and by the blast of his nostrils are they consumed.
10 [the] roaring of A lion and [the] sound of a lion and [the] teeth of young lions they are broken out.
The roar of the lion, and the voice of the fierce lion, and the teeth of the young lions, are broken;
11 A lion [is] perishing because not prey and [the] young of a lion they are scattered.
The old lion perisheth for lack of prey, and the whelps of the lioness are scattered.
12 And to me a word it was brought secretly and it received ear my a whisper of it.
Now to me a word was secretly brought, and mine ear received a whisper thereof.
13 In disquieting thoughts from visions of [the] night when falls deep sleep on people.
In thoughts from visions of the night, when deep sleep falleth on men: —
14 Fear it happened to me and trembling and [the] multitude of bones my it caused to tremble.
Fear came on me, and trembling, and made all my bones to shake;
15 And a wind over face my it passed over it made bristle [the] hair of flesh my.
And a spirit passed before my face — the hair of my flesh stood up —
16 It stood still - and not I recognized appearance its a form [was] to before eyes my a whisper and a voice I heard.
It stood still; I could not discern the appearance thereof: a form was before mine eyes; I heard a slight murmur and a voice:
17 ¿ A person from God will he be righteous or? from maker his will he be pure a man.
Shall [mortal] man be more just than God? Shall a man be purer than his Maker?
18 There! in servants his not he trusts and against messengers his he charges error.
Lo, he trusteth not his servants, and his angels he chargeth with folly:
19 Also - [those who] dwell of houses of clay which [is] in the dust foundation their people crush them before a moth.
How much more them that dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, who are crushed as the moth!
20 From morning to evening they are crushed to pieces because not [one who] sets to perpetuity they perish.
From morning to evening are they smitten: without any heeding it, they perish for ever.
21 ¿ Not has it been pulled up tent cord their in them will they die? and not with wisdom.
Is not their tent-cord torn away in them? they die, and without wisdom.
