# Job 4 (New King James Version)

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