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