Job 4 — GNV
4Verse 1Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered, and sayde,Verse 2If we assay to commune with thee, wilt thou be grieued? but who can withholde himselfe from speaking?Verse 3Behold, thou hast taught many, and hast strengthened the wearie hands.Verse 4Thy wordes haue confirmed him that was falling, and thou hast strengthened the weake knees.Verse 5But now it is come vpon thee, and thou art grieued: it toucheth thee, and thou art troubled.Verse 6Is not this thy feare, thy confidence, thy pacience, and the vprightnesse of thy wayes?Verse 7Remember, I pray thee: who euer perished, being an innocent? or where were the vpright destroyed?Verse 8As I haue seene, they that plow iniquitie, and sowe wickednesse, reape the same.Verse 9With the blast of God they perish, and with the breath of his nostrels are they cosumed.Verse 10The roaring of the Lion, and the voyce of the Lionesse, and the teeth of the Lions whelpes are broken.Verse 11The Lyon perisheth for lacke of pray, and the Lyons whelpes are scattered abroade.Verse 12But a thing was brought to me secretly, and mine eare hath receiued a litle thereof.Verse 13In the thoughtes of ye visions of the night, when sleepe falleth on men,Verse 14Feare came vpon me, and dread which made all my bones to tremble.Verse 15And the wind passed before me, and made the heares of my flesh to stande vp.Verse 16Then stoode one, and I knewe not his face: an image was before mine eyes, and in silence heard I a voyce, saying,Verse 17Shall man be more iust then God? or shall a man be more pure then his maker?Verse 18Beholde, he founde no stedfastnesse in his Seruants, and laid follie vpon his Angels.Verse 19Howe much more in them that dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, which shalbe destroyed before the moth?Verse 20They be destroyed from the morning vnto the euening: they perish for euer, without regarde.Verse 21Doeth not their dignitie goe away with them? do they not die, and that without wisdom?
