Job4:1 Eliphaz: Job Has SinnedEliphaz Rebukes Job Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said:
Job4:2 If one attempts a word with you, will you become weary? But who can withhold himself from speaking?
Job4:3 Surely you have instructed many, And you have strengthened weak hands.
Job4:4 Your words have upheld him who was stumbling, And you have strengthened the feeble knees;
Job4:5 But now it comes upon you, and you are weary; It touches you, and you are troubled.
Job4:6 Is not your reverence your confidence? And the integrity of your ways your hope?
Job4:7 Remember now, who ever perished being innocent? Or where were the upright ever cut off?
Job4:8 Even as I have seen, Those who plow iniquity And sow trouble reap the same.
Job4:9 By the blast of God they perish, And by the breath of His anger they are consumed.
Job4:10 The roaring of the lion, The voice of the fierce lion, And the teeth of the young lions are broken.
Job4:11 The old lion perishes for lack of prey, And the cubs of the lioness are scattered.
Job4:12 Now a word was secretly brought to me, And my ear received a whisper of it.
Job4:13 In disquieting thoughts from the visions of the night, When deep sleep falls on men,
Job4:14 Fear came upon me, and trembling, Which made all my bones shake.
Job4:15 Then a spirit passed before my face; The hair on my body stood up.
Job4:16 It stood still, But I could not discern its appearance. A form was before my eyes; There was silence; Then I heard a voice saying:
Job4:17 Can a mortal be more righteous than God? Can a man be more pure than his Maker?
Job4:18 If He puts no trust in His servants, If He charges His angels with error,
Job4:19 How much more those who dwell in houses of clay, Whose foundation is in the dust, Who are crushed before a moth?
Job4:20 They are broken in pieces from morning till evening; They perish forever, with no one regarding.
Job4:21 Does not their own excellence go away? They die, even without wisdom.'
