Job 3 | IndexThe Bible - Job 4
- 1
- Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,
- 2
- If we assay to commune with thee, wilt thou be grieved? but who can withhold himself from speaking?
- 3
- Behold, thou hast instructed many, and thou hast strengthened the weak hands.
- 4
- Thy words have upholden him that was falling, and thou hast strengthened the feeble knees.
- 5
- But now it is come upon thee, and thou faintest; it toucheth thee, and thou art troubled.
- 6
- Is not this thy fear, thy confidence, thy hope, and the uprightness of thy ways?
- 7
- Remember, I pray thee, who ever perished, being innocent? or where were the righteous cut off?
- 8
- Even as I have seen, they that plow iniquity, and sow wickedness, reap the same.
- 9
- By the blast of God they perish, and by the breath of his nostrils are they consumed.
- 10
- The roaring of the lion, and the voice of the fierce lion, and the teeth of the young lions, are broken.
- 11
- The old lion perisheth for lack of prey, and the stout lion's whelps are scattered abroad.
- 12
- Now a thing was secretly brought to me, and mine ear received a little thereof.
- 13
- In thoughts from the visions of the night, when deep sleep falleth on men,
- 14
- Fear came upon me, and trembling, which made all my bones to shake.
- 15
- Then a spirit passed before my face; the hair of my flesh stood up:
- 16
- It stood still, but I could not discern the form thereof: an image was before mine eyes, there was silence, and I heard a voice, saying,
- 17
- Shall mortal man be more just than God? shall a man be more pure than his maker?
- 18
- Behold, he put no trust in his servants; and his angels he charged with folly:
- 19
- How much less in them that dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, which are crushed before the moth?
- 20
- They are destroyed from morning to evening: they perish for ever without any regarding it.
- 21
- Doth not their excellency which is in them go away? they die, even without wisdom.
