< Job 4 >
1 And he answered Eliphaz the Temanite and he said.
Then Eliphaz the Thaemanite answered and said,
2 ¿ Did someone attempt a word to you will you be impatient? and to restrain words who? is he able.
Hast you been often spoken to in distress? but who shall endure the force of your words?
3 There! you have instructed many [people] and hands slack you strengthened.
For whereas you have instructed many, and have strengthened the hands of the weak one,
4 [the] stumbling They raised! words your and knees bending you strengthened.
and have supported the failing with words, and have imparted courage to feeble knees.
5 For now - it comes to you and you have become impatient it reaches to you and you have become dismayed.
Yet now [that] pain has come upon you, and touched you, you are troubled.
6 ¿ Not [is] fear your confidence your hope your and [the] integrity of ways your.
Is not your fear [founded] in folly, your hope also, and the mischief of your way?
7 Remember please who? that innocent did he perish and where? upright [people] were they destroyed.
Remember then who has perished, being pure? or when were the true-hearted utterly destroyed?
8 Just as I have seen plowers of wickedness and sowers of mischief they harvest it.
Accordingly as I have seen men plowing barren places, and they that sow them will reap sorrows for themselves.
9 From [the] breath of God they perish and from [the] breath of anger his they come to an end.
They shall perish by the command of the Lord, and shall be utterly consumed by the breath 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 strength of the lion, and the voice of the lioness, and the exulting cry of serpents are quenched.
11 A lion [is] perishing because not prey and [the] young of a lion they are scattered.
The old lion has perished for lack of food, and the lions' whelps have forsaken one another.
12 And to me a word it was brought secretly and it received ear my a whisper of it.
But if there had been any truth in your words, none of these evils would have befallen you. Shall not mine ear receive excellent [revelations] from him?
13 In disquieting thoughts from visions of [the] night when falls deep sleep on people.
But [as when] terror falls upon men, with dread and a sound in the night,
14 Fear it happened to me and trembling and [the] multitude of bones my it caused to tremble.
horror and trembling seized me, and caused all my bones greatly to shake.
15 And a wind over face my it passed over it made bristle [the] hair of flesh my.
And a spirit came before my face; and my hair and flesh quivered.
16 It stood still - and not I recognized appearance its a form [was] to before eyes my a whisper and a voice I heard.
I arose and perceived it not: I looked, and there, was no form before my eyes: but I only heard a breath and a voice, [saying],
17 ¿ A person from God will he be righteous or? from maker his will he be pure a man.
What, shall a mortal be pure before the Lord? or a man be blameless in regard to his works?
18 There! in servants his not he trusts and against messengers his he charges error.
Whereas he trust not in his servants, and perceives perverseness in his angels.
19 Also - [those who] dwell of houses of clay which [is] in the dust foundation their people crush them before a moth.
But [as for] them that dwell in houses of clay, of whom we also are formed of the same clay, he smites them like a moth.
20 From morning to evening they are crushed to pieces because not [one who] sets to perpetuity they perish.
And from the morning to evening they no longer exist: they have perished, because they can’t help themselves.
21 ¿ Not has it been pulled up tent cord their in them will they die? and not with wisdom.
For he blows upon them, and they are withered: they have perished for lack of wisdom.
