4:1 Then Eliphaz 464 the Temanite 8489 answered 6030 8799 and said 559 8799,

4:2 [If] we assay 5254 8765 to commune 1697 with thee, wilt thou be grieved 3811 8799? but who can 3201 8799 withhold 6113 8800 himself from speaking 4405?(to…: Heb. a word)(withhold…: Heb. refrain from words?)

4:3 Behold, thou hast instructed 3256 8765 many 7227, and thou hast strengthened 2388 8762 the weak 7504 hands 3027.

4:4 Thy words 4405 have upholden 6965 8686 him that was falling 3782 8802, and thou hast strengthened 553 8762 the feeble 3766 8802 knees 1290.

4:5 But now it is come 935 8799 upon thee, and thou faintest 3811 8799; it toucheth 5060 8799 thee, and thou art troubled 926 8735.

4:6 [Is] not [this] thy fear 3374, thy confidence 3690, thy hope 8615, and the uprightness 8537 of thy ways 1870?

4:7 Remember 2142 8798, I pray thee, who [ever] perished 6 8804, being innocent 5355? or where 375 were the righteous 3477 cut off 3582 8738?

4:8 Even as I have seen 7200 8804, they that plow 2790 8802 iniquity 205, and sow 2232 8802 wickedness 5999, reap 7114 8799 the same.

4:9 By the blast 5397 of God 433 they perish 6 8799, and by the breath 7307 of his nostrils 639 are they consumed 3615 8799.(by the breath…: that is, by his anger)

4:10 The roaring 7581 of the lion 738, and the voice 6963 of the fierce lion 7826, and the teeth 8127 of the young lions 3715, are broken 5421 8738.

4:11 The old lion 3918 perisheth 6 8802 for lack 1097 of prey 2964, and the stout lion's 3833 whelps 1121 are scattered abroad 6504 8691.

4:12 Now a thing 1697 was secretly brought 1589 8792 to me, and mine ear 241 received 3947 8799 a little 8102 thereof.(secretly: Heb. by stealth)

4:13 In thoughts 5587 from the visions 2384 of the night 3915, when deep sleep 8639 falleth 5307 8800 on men 582,

4:14 Fear 6343 came 7122 8804 upon me, and trembling 7461, which made all 7230 my bones 6106 to shake 6342 8689.(came…: Heb. met)(all: Heb. the multitude of)

4:15 Then a spirit 7307 passed 2498 8799 before my face 6440; the hair 8185 of my flesh 1320 stood up 5568 8762:

4:16 It stood still 5975 8799, but I could not discern 5234 8686 the form 4758 thereof: an image 8544 [was] before mine eyes 5869, [there was] silence 1827, and I heard 8085 8799 a voice 6963, [saying],(there…: or, I heard a still voice)

4:17 Shall mortal man 582 be more just 6663 8799 than God 433? shall a man 1397 be more pure 2891 8799 than his maker 6213 8802?

4:18 Behold, he put no trust 539 8686 in his servants 5650; and his angels 4397 he charged 7760 8799 with folly 8417:(and his…: or, nor in his angels, in whom he put light)

4:19 How much less 637 [in] them that dwell 7931 8802 in houses 1004 of clay 2563, whose foundation 3247 [is] in the dust 6083, [which] are crushed 1792 8762 before 6440 the moth 6211?

4:20 They are destroyed 3807 8714 from morning 1242 to evening 6153: they perish 6 8799 for ever 5331 without any regarding 7760 8688 [it].(destroyed: Heb. beaten in pieces)

4:21 Doth not their excellency 3499 [which is] in them go away 5265 8738? they die 4191 8799, even without wisdom 2451.
