Chapter 4
Job DRC 4:1  Then Eliphaz, the Themanite, answered, and said:
Job DRC 4:2  If we begin to speak to thee, perhaps thou wilt take it ill; but who can withhold the words he hath conceived?
Job DRC 4:3  Behold thou hast taught many, and thou hast strengthened the weary hands:
Job DRC 4:4  Thy words have confirmed them that were staggering, and thou hast strengthened the trembling knees:
Job DRC 4:5  But now the scourge is come upon thee, and thou faintest: It hath touched thee, and thou art troubled.
Job DRC 4:6  Where is thy fear, thy fortitude, thy patience, and the perfection of thy ways?
Job DRC 4:7  Remember, I pray thee, who ever perished being innocent? or when were the just destroyed?
Job DRC 4:8  On the contrary, I have seen those who work iniquity, and sow sorrows, and reap them,
Job DRC 4:9  Perishing by the blast of God, and consumed by the spirit of his wrath.
Job DRC 4:10  The roaring of the lion, and the voice of the lioness, and the teeth of the whelps of lions, are broken:
Job DRC 4:11  The tiger hath perished for want of prey, and the young lions are scattered abroad.
Job DRC 4:12  Now there was a word spoken to me in private, and my ears by stealth, as it were, received the veins of its whisper.
Job DRC 4:13  In the horror of a vision by night, when deep sleep is wont to hold men,
Job DRC 4:14  Fear seized upon me, and trembling, and all my bones were affrighted:
Job DRC 4:15  And when a spirit passed before me, the hair of my flesh stood up.
Job DRC 4:16  There stood one whose countenance I knew not, an image before my eyes, and I heard the voice, as it were, of a gentle wind.
Job DRC 4:17  Shall man be justified in comparison of God, or shall a man be more pure than his maker?
Job DRC 4:18  Behold, they that serve him are not steadfast, and in his angels he found wickedness:
Job DRC 4:19  How much more shall they that dwell in houses of clay, who have an earthly foundation, be consumed as with the moth?
Job DRC 4:20  From morning till evening they shall be cut down: and because no one understandeth, they shall perish for ever.
Job DRC 4:21  And they that shall be left, shall be taken away from them: they shall die, and not in wisdom.
