< Job 4 >

1 And he answered Eliphaz the Temanite and he said.
Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered,
2 ¿ Did someone attempt a word to you will you be impatient? and to restrain words who? is he able.
“If someone ventures to talk with you, will you be grieved? But who can withhold himself from speaking?
3 There! you have instructed many [people] and hands slack you strengthened.
Behold, you have instructed many, you have strengthened the weak hands.
4 [the] stumbling They raised! words your and knees bending you strengthened.
Your words have supported him who was falling, you have made the feeble knees firm.
5 For now - it comes to you and you have become impatient it reaches to you and you have become dismayed.
But now it has come to you, and you faint. It touches you, and you are troubled.
6 ¿ Not [is] fear your confidence your hope your and [the] integrity of ways your.
Isn’t your piety your confidence? Isn’t the integrity of your ways your hope?
7 Remember please who? that innocent did he perish and where? upright [people] were they destroyed.
“Remember, now, who ever perished, being innocent? Or where were the upright cut off?
8 Just as I have seen plowers of wickedness and sowers of mischief they harvest it.
According to what I have seen, those who plow iniquity and sow trouble, reap the same.
9 From [the] breath of God they perish and from [the] breath of anger his they come to an end.
By the breath of God they perish. By the blast of his anger are they consumed.
10 [the] roaring of A lion and [the] sound of a lion and [the] teeth of young lions they are broken out.
The roaring of the lion, and the voice of the fierce lion, the teeth of the young lions, are broken.
11 A lion [is] perishing because not prey and [the] young of a lion they are scattered.
The old lion perishes for lack of prey. The cubs of the lioness are scattered abroad.
12 And to me a word it was brought secretly and it received ear my a whisper of it.
“Now a thing was secretly brought to me. My ear received a whisper of it.
13 In disquieting thoughts from visions of [the] night when falls deep sleep on people.
In thoughts from the visions of the night, when deep sleep falls on men,
14 Fear it happened to me and trembling and [the] multitude of bones my it caused to tremble.
fear came on me, and trembling, which made all my bones shake.
15 And a wind over face my it passed over it made bristle [the] hair of flesh my.
Then a spirit passed before my face. The hair of my flesh stood up.
16 It stood still - and not I recognized appearance its a form [was] to before eyes my a whisper and a voice I heard.
It stood still, but I couldn’t discern its appearance. A form was before my eyes. Silence, then I heard a voice, saying,
17 ¿ A person from God will he be righteous or? from maker his will he be pure a man.
‘Shall mortal man be more just than God? Shall a man be more pure than his Maker?
18 There! in servants his not he trusts and against messengers his he charges error.
Behold, he puts no trust in his servants. He charges his angels with error.
19 Also - [those who] dwell of houses of clay which [is] in the dust foundation their people crush them before a moth.
How much more those who dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, who are crushed before the moth!
20 From morning to evening they are crushed to pieces because not [one who] sets to perpetuity they perish.
Between morning and evening they are destroyed. They perish forever without any regarding it.
21 ¿ Not has it been pulled up tent cord their in them will they die? and not with wisdom.
Isn’t their tent cord plucked up within them? They die, and that without wisdom.’
