< Job 4 >

1 And he answered Eliphaz the Temanite and he said.
Then Eliphaz the Themanite answered, and said:
2 ¿ Did someone attempt a word to you will you be impatient? and to restrain words who? is he able.
If we begin to speak to thee, perhaps thou wilt take it ill, but who can withhold the words he hath conceived?
3 There! you have instructed many [people] and hands slack you strengthened.
Behold thou hast taught many, and thou hast strengthened the weary hands:
4 [the] stumbling They raised! words your and knees bending you strengthened.
Thy words have confirmed them that were staggering, and thou hast strengthened the trembling knees:
5 For now - it comes to you and you have become impatient it reaches to you and you have become dismayed.
But now the scourge is come upon thee, and thou faintest: it hath touched thee, and thou art troubled.
6 ¿ Not [is] fear your confidence your hope your and [the] integrity of ways your.
Where is thy fear, thy fortitude, thy patience, and the perfection of thy ways?
7 Remember please who? that innocent did he perish and where? upright [people] were they destroyed.
Remember, I pray thee, who ever perished being innocent? or when were the just destroyed?
8 Just as I have seen plowers of wickedness and sowers of mischief they harvest it.
On the contrary I have seen those who work iniquity, and sow sorrows, and reap them,
9 From [the] breath of God they perish and from [the] breath of anger his they come to an end.
Perishing by the blast of God, and consumed by the spirit of his wrath.
10 [the] roaring of A lion and [the] sound of a lion and [the] teeth of young lions they are broken out.
The roaring of the lion, and the voice of the lioness, and the teeth of the whelps of lions are broken:
11 A lion [is] perishing because not prey and [the] young of a lion they are scattered.
The tiger hath perished for want of prey, and the young lions are scattered abroad.
12 And to me a word it was brought secretly and it received ear my a whisper of it.
Now there was a word spoken to me in private, and my ears by stealth as it were received the veins of its whisper.
13 In disquieting thoughts from visions of [the] night when falls deep sleep on people.
In the horror of a vision by night, when deep sleep is wont to hold men,
14 Fear it happened to me and trembling and [the] multitude of bones my it caused to tremble.
Fear seized upon me, and trembling, and all my bones were affrighted:
15 And a wind over face my it passed over it made bristle [the] hair of flesh my.
And when a spirit passed before me, 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.
There stood one whose countenance I knew not, an image before my eyes, and I heard the voice as it were of a gentle wind:
17 ¿ A person from God will he be righteous or? from maker his will he be pure a man.
Shall man be justified in comparison of God, or shall a man be more pure than his maker?
18 There! in servants his not he trusts and against messengers his he charges error.
Behold they that serve him are not steadfast, and in his angels he found wickedness:
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 shall they that dwell in houses of clay, who have an earthly foundation, be consumed as with the moth?
20 From morning to evening they are crushed to pieces because not [one who] sets to perpetuity they perish.
From morning till evening they shall be cut down: and because no one understandeth, they shall perish for ever.
21 ¿ Not has it been pulled up tent cord their in them will they die? and not with wisdom.
And they that shall be left, shall be taken away from them: they shall die, and not in wisdom.
