Job 4

1 And he answered Eliphaz the Temanite and he said.

Then responded 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 unto thee, wilt thou be impatient? But, to restrain speech, who, can endure?

3 There! you have instructed many [people] and hands slack you strengthened.

Lo! thou hast admonished many, and, slack hands, hast thou been wont to uphold:

4 [the] stumbling They raised! words your and knees bending you strengthened.

Him that was stumbling, have thy words raised up, and, sinking knees, hast thou strengthened.

5 For now - it comes to you and you have become impatient it reaches to you and you have become dismayed.

But, now, it cometh upon thee, and thou despairest, It smiteth even thee, and thou art dismayed.

6 ¿ Not [is] fear your confidence your hope your and [the] integrity of ways your.

Is not, thy reverence, thy confidence? And is not, thy hope, the very integrity of thy ways?

7 Remember please who? that innocent did he perish and where? upright [people] were they destroyed.

Remember, I pray thee, who, being innocent, hath perished, or when, the upright, have been cut off.

8 Just as I have seen plowers of wickedness and sowers of mischief they harvest it.

So far as I have seen, They who plow for iniquity and sow misery, 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, 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.

[Notwithstanding] the roaring of the lion, and the noise of the howling lion, yet, the teeth of the fierce lions, are broken:

11 A lion [is] perishing because not prey and [the] young of a lion they are scattered.

The strong lion perishing for lack of prey, Even 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.

But, unto me, something was brought by stealth, —and mine ear caught a whispering of the same:

13 In disquieting thoughts from visions of [the] night when falls deep sleep on people.

When there were 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.

Dread, came upon me, and trembling, The multitude of my bones, it put in dread:

15 And a wind over face my it passed over it made bristle [the] hair of flesh my.

Then, a spirit, over my face, floated along, The hair of my flesh bristled-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, but I could not distinguish its appearance, I looked, but there was no form before mine eyes, —A whispering voice, I heard: —

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? Or a man be more pure than, his Maker?

18 There! in servants his not he trusts and against messengers his he charges error.

Lo! in his own servants, he trusteth not, and, his own messengers, he chargeth with error:

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 the dwellers in houses of clay, which, in the dust, have their foundation, which are crushed sooner than a moth:

20 From morning to evening they are crushed to pieces because not [one who] sets to perpetuity they perish.

Betwixt morning and evening, are they broken in pieces, With none to save, they utterly perish:

21 ¿ Not has it been pulled up tent cord their in them will they die? and not with wisdom.

Is not their tent-rope within them, torn away? They die, disrobed of wisdom!
