Chapter 4
Job CPDV 4:2  If we start to speak to you, perhaps you will take it badly, but who can hold back the words he has conceived?
Job CPDV 4:3  Behold, you have taught many, and you have strengthened weary hands.
Job CPDV 4:4  Your words have reassured the wavering, and you have fortified the trembling knees.
Job CPDV 4:5  But now the scourge has overcome you, and you falter. It has touched you, and you are disturbed.
Job CPDV 4:6  Where is your reverence, your fortitude, your patience, and the perfection of your ways?
Job CPDV 4:7  Consider this, I beg you: who ever perished being innocent? Or when have the righteous been destroyed?
Job CPDV 4:8  In fact, I have instead seen those who work iniquity and who sow resentments, reap them,
Job CPDV 4:9  perishing by the breath of God, and being consumed by the wrath of his spirit.
Job CPDV 4:10  The roaring of the lion, and the voice of the lioness, and the teeth of young lions have been worn away.
Job CPDV 4:11  The tiger has perished because it does not have prey, and the young lions have been scattered.
Job CPDV 4:12  Furthermore, a word was spoken to me in secret, and, as if by theft, my ears received the pulse of its whisper.
Job CPDV 4:13  In the horror of a vision by night, when men are accustomed to be overtaken by a deep sleep,
Job CPDV 4:14  fear and trembling seized me and all my bones were terrified.
Job CPDV 4:15  And when a spirit passed before me, the hair on my body stood up.
Job CPDV 4:16  There appeared an image before my eyes, someone whose face I did not recognize, and I heard a voice like a gentle breeze.
Job CPDV 4:17  Should man be justified in relation to God, or will a man be more pure than his Maker?
Job CPDV 4:18  Behold, those who serve him are not steadfast, and in his angels he finds imperfection.
Job CPDV 4:19  How much more will those who live in houses of clay, which have an earthly foundation, be consumed like the moth?
Job CPDV 4:20  From morning all the way to evening, they will be cut down, and because no one understands, they will be destroyed without ceasing.
Job CPDV 4:21  But those who are left behind will be taken away from them; they will die, and not in wisdom.
