Job 4

KJV

1  Then Eliphaz464 the Temanite8489 answered6030 and said,559

2  If we attempt to commune5254 1697 with413 thee, wilt thou be grieved?3811 but who4310 can3201 withhold6113 himself from speaking?4405

3  Behold,2009 thou hast instructed3256 many,7227 and thou hast strengthened2388 the weak7504 hands.3027

4  Thy words4405 have upheld6965 him that was falling,3782 and thou hast strengthened553 the feeble3766 knees.1290

5  But3588 now6258 it is come935 upon413 thee, and thou faintest;3811 it toucheth5060 5704 thee, and thou art troubled.926

6  Is not3808 this thy fear,3374 thy confidence,3690 thy hope,8615 and the uprightness8537 of thy ways?1870

7  Remember,2142 I pray thee,4994 who4310 ever perished,6 being innocent?5355 or where375 were the righteous3477 cut off?3582

8  Even as834 I have seen,7200 they that plow2790 iniquity,205 and sow2232 wickedness,5999 reap7114 the same.

9  By the blast4480 5397 of God433 they perish,6 and by the breath4480 7307 of his nostrils639 are they consumed.3615

10  The roaring7581 of the lion,738 and the voice6963 of the fierce lion,7826 and the teeth8127 of the young lions,3715 are broken.5421

11  The old lion3918 perisheth6 for lack4480 1097 of prey,2964 and the stout lion's3833 whelps1121 are scattered abroad.6504

12  Now a thing1697 was secretly brought1589 to413 me, and mine ear241 received3947 a little8102 thereof.4480

13  In thoughts5587 from the visions4480 2384 of the night,3915 when deep sleep8639 falleth5307 on5921 men,376

14  Fear6343 came upon7122 me, and trembling,7460 which made all7230 my bones6106 to shake.6342

15  Then a spirit7307 passed2498 before5921 my face;6440 the hair8185 of my flesh1320 stood up:5568

16  It stood still,5975 but I could not3808 discern5234 the form4758 thereof: an image8544 was before5048 mine eyes,5869 there was silence,1827 and I heard8085 a voice,6963 saying,

17  Shall mortal man582 be more just than God?6663 4480 433 shall a man1397 be more pure2891 than his maker?4480 6213

18  Behold,2005 he put no trust539 3808 in his servants;5650 and his angels4397 he charged7760 with folly:8417

19  How much less637 in them that dwell in7931 houses1004 of clay,2563 whose834 foundation3247 is in the dust,6083 which are crushed1792 before6440 the moth?6211

20  They are destroyed3807 from morning4480 1242 to evening:6153 they perish6 forever5331 without any4480 1097 regarding7760 it.

21  Doth not3808 their excellency3499 which is in them go away?5265 they die,4191 even without3808 wisdom.2451

1 ὑπολαβὼν δὲ Ελιφας ὁ Θαιμανίτης λέγει

2 μὴ πολλάκις σοι λελάληται ἐν κόπῳ ἰσχὺν δὲ ῥημάτων σου τίς ὑποίσει

3 εἰ γὰρ σὺ ἐνουθέτησας πολλοὺς καὶ χεῖρας ἀσθενοῦς παρεκάλεσας

4 ἀσθενοῦντάς τε ἐξανέστησας ῥήμασιν γόνασίν τε ἀδυνατοῦσιν θάρσος περιέθηκας

5 νῦν δὲ ἥκει ἐπὶ σὲ πόνος καὶ ἥψατό σου σὺ δὲ ἐσπούδασας

6 πότερον οὐχ ὁ φόβος σού ἐστιν ἐν ἀφροσύνῃ καὶ ἡ ἐλπίς σου καὶ ἡ ἀκακία τῆς ὁδοῦ σου

7 μνήσθητι οὖν τίς καθαρὸς ὢν ἀπώλετο ἢ πότε ἀληθινοὶ ὁλόρριζοι ἀπώλοντο

8 καθ᾽ ὃν τρόπον εἶδον τοὺς ἀροτριῶντας τὰ ἄτοπα οἱ δὲ σπείροντες αὐτὰ ὀδύνας θεριοῦσιν ἑαυτοῖς

9 ἀπὸ προστάγματος κυρίου ἀπολοῦνται ἀπὸ δὲ πνεύματος ὀργῆς αὐτοῦ ἀφανισθήσονται

10 σθένος λέοντος φωνὴ δὲ λεαίνης γαυρίαμα δὲ δρακόντων ἐσβέσθη

11 μυρμηκολέων ὤλετο παρὰ τὸ μὴ ἔχειν βοράν σκύμνοι δὲ λεόντων ἔλιπον ἀλλήλους

12 εἰ δέ τι ῥῆμα ἀληθινὸν ἐγεγόνει ἐν λόγοις σου οὐθὲν ἄν σοι τούτων κακὸν ἀπήντησεν πότερον οὐ δέξεταί μου τὸ οὖς ἐξαίσια παρ᾽ αὐτοῦ

13 φόβοι δὲ καὶ ἠχὼ νυκτερινή ἐπιπίπτων φόβος ἐπ᾽ ἀνθρώπους

14 φρίκη δέ μοι συνήντησεν καὶ τρόμος καὶ μεγάλως μου τὰ ὀστᾶ συνέσεισεν

15 καὶ πνεῦμα ἐπὶ πρόσωπόν μου ἐπῆλθεν ἔφριξαν δέ μου τρίχες καὶ σάρκες

16 ἀνέστην καὶ οὐκ ἐπέγνων εἶδον καὶ οὐκ ἦν μορφὴ πρὸ ὀφθαλμῶν μου ἀλλ᾽ ἢ αὔραν καὶ φωνὴν ἤκουον

17 τί γάρ μὴ καθαρὸς ἔσται βροτὸς ἐναντίον κυρίου ἢ ἀπὸ τῶν ἔργων αὐτοῦ ἄμεμπτος ἀνήρ

18 εἰ κατὰ παίδων αὐτοῦ οὐ πιστεύει κατὰ δὲ ἀγγέλων αὐτοῦ σκολιόν τι ἐπενόησεν

19 τοὺς δὲ κατοικοῦντας οἰκίας πηλίνας ἐξ ὧν καὶ αὐτοὶ ἐκ τοῦ αὐτοῦ πηλοῦ ἐσμεν ἔπαισεν αὐτοὺς σητὸς τρόπον

20 καὶ ἀπὸ πρωίθεν ἕως ἑσπέρας οὐκέτι εἰσίν παρὰ τὸ μὴ δύνασθαι αὐτοὺς ἑαυτοῖς βοηθῆσαι ἀπώλοντο

21 ἐνεφύσησεν γὰρ αὐτοῖς καὶ ἐξηράνθησαν ἀπώλοντο παρὰ τὸ μὴ ἔχειν αὐτοὺς σοφίαν

1 Respondens autem Eliphaz Themanites, dixit:

2 [Si cœperimus loqui tibi, forsitan moleste accipies;
sed conceptum sermonem tenere quis poterit?

3 Ecce docuisti multos,
et manus lassas roborasti;

4 vacillantes confirmaverunt sermones tui,
et genua trementia confortasti.

5 Nunc autem venit super te plaga, et defecisti;
tetigit te, et conturbatus es.

6 Ubi est timor tuus, fortitudo tua,
patientia tua, et perfectio viarum tuarum?

7 Recordare, obsecro te, quis umquam innocens periit?
aut quando recti deleti sunt?

8 Quin potius vidi eos qui operantur iniquitatem,
et seminant dolores, et metunt eos,

9 flante Deo perisse,
et spiritu iræ ejus esse consumptos.

10 Rugitus leonis, et vox leænæ,
et dentes catulorum leonum contriti sunt.

11 Tigris periit, eo quod non haberet prædam,
et catuli leonis dissipati sunt.

12 Porro ad me dictum est verbum absconditum,
et quasi furtive suscepit auris mea venas susurri ejus.

13 In horrore visionis nocturnæ,
quando solet sopor occupare homines,

14 pavor tenuit me, et tremor,
et omnia ossa mea perterrita sunt;

15 et cum spiritus, me præsente, transiret,
inhorruerunt pili carnis meæ.

16 Stetit quidam, cujus non agnoscebam vultum,
imago coram oculis meis,
et vocem quasi auræ lenis audivi.

17 Numquid homo, Dei comparatione, justificabitur?
aut factore suo purior erit vir?

18 Ecce qui serviunt ei, non sunt stabiles,
et in angelis suis reperit pravitatem;

19 quanto magis hi qui habitant domos luteas,
qui terrenum habent fundamentum,
consumentur velut a tinea?

20 De mane usque ad vesperam succidentur;
et quia nullus intelligit, in æternum peribunt.

21 Qui autem reliqui fuerint, auferentur ex eis;
morientur, et non in sapientia.]
