4:1 5 Job is reprehended of impatience, 7 and injustice, 17 and of the presumption of his own righteousness. Then Eliphaz the Temanite, answered and said,
4:2 If we assay to commune with thee, wilt thou be grieved? but who can withhold himself from speaking?
4:3 Behold, thou hast taught many, and hast strengthened the weary hands.
4:4 Thy words have confirmed him that was falling, and thou hast strengthened the weak knees.
4:5 But now it is come upon thee, and thou art grieved: it toucheth thee, and thou art troubled.
4:6 Is not this thy fear, thy confidence, thy patience, and uprightness of thy ways?
4:7 Remember, I pray thee: who ever perished, being an innocent? or where were the upright destroyed?
4:8 As I have seen, they that plow iniquity, and sow wickedness, reap the same.
4:9 With the blast of God they perish, and with the breath of his nostrils are they consumed.
4:10 The roaring of the Lion, and the voice of the Lioness, and the teeth of the Lion’s whelps are broken.
4:11 The Lion perisheth for lack of prey, and the Lion’s whelps are scattered abroad.
4:12 But a thing was brought to me secretly, and mine ear hath received a little thereof.
4:13 In the thoughts of the visions of the night, when sleep falleth on men,
4:14 Fear came upon me, and dread which made all my bones to tremble.
4:15 And the wind passed before me, and made the hairs of my flesh to stand up.
4:16 Then stood one, and I knew not his face: an image was before mine eyes, and in silence heard I a voice, saying,
4:17 Shall man be more just than God? or shall a man be more pure than his Maker?
4:18 Behold, he found no steadfastness in his servants, and laid folly upon his Angels.
4:19 How much more in them that dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, which shall be destroyed before the moth?
4:20 They be destroyed from the morning unto the evening: they perish forever, without regard.
4:21 Doth not their dignity go away with them? do they not die, and that without wisdom?
