YLT - Job - 4

4:1  And Eliphaz the Temanite answereth and saith: --

4:2  Hath one tried a word with thee? --Thou art weary! And to keep in words who is able?

4:3  Lo, thou hast instructed many, And feeble hands thou makest strong.

4:4  The stumbling one do thy words raise up, And bowing knees thou dost strengthen.

4:5  But now, it cometh in unto thee, And thou art weary; It striketh unto thee, and thou art troubled.

4:6  Is not thy reverence thy confidence? Thy hope--the perfection of thy ways?

4:7  Remember, I pray thee, Who, being innocent, hath perished? And where have the upright been cut off?

4:8  As I have seen--ploughers of iniquity, And sowers of misery, reap it!

4:9  From the breath of God they perish, And from the spirit of His anger consumed.

4:10  The roaring of a lion, And the voice of a fierce lion, And teeth of young lions have been broken.

4:11  An old lion is perishing without prey, And the whelps of the lioness do separate.

4:12  And unto me a thing is secretly brought, And receive doth mine ear a little of it.

4:13  In thoughts from visions of the night, In the falling of deep sleep on men,

4:14  Fear hath met me, and trembling, And the multitude of my bones caused to fear.

4:15  And a spirit before my face doth pass, Stand up doth the hair of my flesh;

4:16  It standeth, and I discern not its aspect, A similitude is over-against mine eyes, Silence! and a voice I hear:

4:17  `Is mortal man than God more righteous? Than his Maker is a man cleaner?

4:18  Lo, in His servants He putteth no credence, Nor in His messengers setteth praise.'

4:19  Also--the inhabitants of houses of clay, (Whose foundation is in the dust, They bruise them before a moth.)

4:20  From morning to evening are beaten down, Without any regarding, for ever they perish.

4:21  Hath not their excellency been removed with them? They die, and not in wisdom!
