< Job 4 >
1 And he answered Eliphaz the Temanite and he said.
Then spake Eliphaz the Temanite, and said:
2 ¿ Did someone attempt a word to you will you be impatient? and to restrain words who? is he able.
If one attempt a word with thee, wilt thou be offended? But who can refrain from speaking?
3 There! you have instructed many [people] and hands slack you strengthened.
Behold, thou hast admonished many; Thou hast strengthened feeble hands;
4 [the] stumbling They raised! words your and knees bending you strengthened.
Thy words have upheld him that was falling, And thou hast given strength to feeble 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 faintest; It toucheth thee, and thou art confounded!
6 ¿ Not [is] fear your confidence your hope your and [the] integrity of ways your.
Is not thy fear of God thy hope, And the uprightness of thy ways thy confidence?
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 where have the righteous been cut off?
8 Just as I have seen plowers of wickedness and sowers of mischief they harvest it.
According to what I have seen, they who 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 blast of God they perish, And by the breath of his nostrils they are consumed.
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 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 fierce lion perisheth for lack of prey, And the whelps of the lioness are scattered abroad.
12 And to me a word it was brought secretly and it received ear my a whisper of it.
A word was once secretly brought to me, And mine ear caught a whisper thereof.
13 In disquieting thoughts from visions of [the] night when falls deep sleep on people.
Amid thoughts from visions of the night, When deep sleep falleth upon men,
14 Fear it happened to me and trembling and [the] multitude of bones my it caused to tremble.
A fear and a horror came upon me, Which made all my bones to shake.
15 And a wind over face my it passed over it made bristle [the] hair of flesh my.
Then a spirit passed before my face, The hair of my flesh rose on end;
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, but its form I could not discern; An image was before mine eyes; There was silence, and I heard 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 man be more pure than his Maker?
18 There! in servants his not he trusts and against messengers his he charges error.
Behold, he putteth no trust in his ministering spirits, And his angels he chargeth with frailty.
19 Also - [those who] dwell of houses of clay which [is] in the dust foundation their people crush them before a moth.
What then are they who dwell in houses of clay, Whose foundation is in the dust, Who crumble to pieces, as if moth-eaten!
20 From morning to evening they are crushed to pieces because not [one who] sets to perpetuity they perish.
Between morning and evening are they destroyed; They perish for ever, and none regardeth it.
21 ¿ Not has it been pulled up tent cord their in them will they die? and not with wisdom.
The excellency that is in them is torn away; They die before they have become wise.”
