Chapter 4

Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered, and said,

2 If we assay to commune with thee, wilt thou be grieued? But who can withhold himselfe from speaking?

3 Beholde, Thou hast instructed many, and thou hast strengthened the weake hands.

4 Thy words haue vpholden him that was falling, and thou hast strengthened the feeble knees.

5 But now it is come vpon thee, and thou faintest, it toucheth thee, and thou art troubled.

6 Is not this thy feare, thy confidence; the vprightnesse of thy wayes and thy hope?

7 Remember, I pray thee, who euer perished, being innocent? or where were the righteous cut off?

8 Euen as I haue seene, they that plow iniquity, and sow wickednsse, reape the same.

9 By the blast of God they perish, and by the breath of his nostrils are they consumed.

10 The roaring of the Lyon, and the voice of the fierce Lyon, and the teeth of the yong Lyons are broken.

11 The old Lyon perisheth for lacke of pray, and the stout Lyons whelpes are scattered abroad.

12 Nowe a thing was secretly brought to me, and mine eare receiued a litle thereof.

13 In thoughts from the visions of the night, when deepe sleepe falleth on men:

14 Feare came vpon me, and trembling, which made all my bones to shake.

15 Then a spirit passed before my face: the haire of my flesh stood vp.

16 It stood still, but I could not discerne the forme thereof: an image was before mine eyes, there was silence, and I heard a voyce, saying,

17 Shall mortall man be more iust then God? shall a man bee more pure then his maker?

18 Behold, hee put no trust in his seruants; and his Angels hee charged with folly:

19 Howe much lesse on them that dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, which are crushed before the moth.

20 They are destroyed from morning to euening: they perish for euer, without any regarding it.

21 Doeth not their excellencie which is in them, goe away? they die, euen without wisedome.
