< Job 4 >
1 And he answered Eliphaz the Temanite and he said.
Then 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] we essay to commune with thee, wilt 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 upheld him that was falling, and thou hast strengthened the 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 hath come upon thee, and thou faintest; it toucheth thee, and thou art troubled.
6 ¿ Not [is] fear your confidence your hope your and [the] integrity of ways your.
[Is] not [this] thy fear, thy confidence, thy hope, and the uprightness 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 where were the righteous 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 plow iniquity, and sow wickedness, 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.
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 old lion perisheth for lack of prey, and the stout lion's whelps are scattered abroad.
12 And to me a word it was brought secretly and it received ear my a whisper of it.
Now a thing was secretly brought to me, and my ear received a small sound of it.
13 In disquieting thoughts from visions of [the] night when falls deep sleep on people.
In thoughts from the 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 upon me, and trembling, 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 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, but I could not discern its form: an image [was] before my eyes, [there was] silence, and I heard a voice, [saying],
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 more pure than his maker?
18 There! in servants his not he trusts and against messengers his he charges error.
Behold, he put no trust in his servants; and his angels he charged 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 less [in] them that dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation [is] in the dust, [who] are crushed before the moth?
20 From morning to evening they are crushed to pieces because not [one who] sets to perpetuity they perish.
They are destroyed from morning to evening: they perish for ever without any regarding [it].
21 ¿ Not has it been pulled up tent cord their in them will they die? and not with wisdom.
Doth not their excellence [which is] in them depart? they die, even without wisdom.
