Job 4

1 and to answer Eliphaz [the] Temanite and to say

Then responded Eliphaz the Temanite, and said: —

2 to test: try word to(wards) you be weary and to restrain in/on/with speech who? be able

If one attempt a word unto thee, wilt thou be impatient? But, to restrain speech, who, can endure?

3 behold to discipline many and hand weak to strengthen: strengthen

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

4 to stumble to arise: establish [emph?] speech your and knee to bow to strengthen

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

5 for now to come (in): come to(wards) you and be weary to touch till you and to dismay

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

6 not fear your confidence your hope your and integrity way: conduct your

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

7 to remember please who? he/she/it innocent to perish and where? upright to hide

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

8 like/as as which to see: see to plow/plot evil: wickedness and to sow trouble to reap him

So far as I have seen, They who plow for iniquity and sow misery, reap the same:

9 from breath god to perish and from spirit: breath face: anger his to end: destroy

By the blast of GOD, they perish, And, by the breath of his nostrils, are they consumed:

10 roaring lion and voice lion and tooth lion to break

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

11 lion to perish from without prey and son: young animal lion to separate

The strong lion perishing for lack of prey, Even the whelps of the lioness, are scattered.

12 and to(wards) me word to steal and to take: recieve ear my whisper from him

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

13 in/on/with disquietings from vision night in/on/with to fall: fall deep sleep upon human

When there were thoughts, from visions of the night, —When deep sleep falleth upon men,

14 dread to encounter: toward me and trembling and abundance bone my to dread

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

15 and spirit upon face my to pass to bristle up hair flesh my

Then, a spirit, over my face, floated along, The hair of my flesh bristled-up:

16 to stand: stand and not to recognize appearance his likeness to/for before eye my silence and voice to hear: hear

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 human from god to justify if: surely no from to make him be pure great man

Shall, mortal man, be more just than GOD? Or a man be more pure than, his Maker?

18 look! in/on/with servant/slave his not be faithful and in/on/with messenger: angel his to set: make error

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

19 also to dwell house: home clay which in/on/with dust foundation their to crush them to/for face: before 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/for evening to crush from without to set: consider to/for perpetuity to perish

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

21 not to set out cord their in/on/with them to die and not in/on/with wisdom

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