ASV_Strong : Job 4
1. Then answered[H6030] Eliphaz[H464] the Temanite[H8489], and said[H559],
2. If one assay[H5254] to commune[H1697] with thee[H3811], wilt thou be grieved? But who can[H3201] withhold[H6113] himself from speaking[H4405]?
3. Behold[H3256], thou hast instructed many[H7227], And thou hast strengthened[H2388] the weak[H7504] hands[H3027].
4. Thy words[H4405] have upholden[H6965] him that was falling[H3782], And thou hast made firm[H553] the feeble[H3766] knees[H1290].
5. But now it is come[H935] unto thee[H3811], and thou faintest; It toucheth[H5060] thee[H926], and thou art troubled.
6. Is not thy fear[H3374] of God thy confidence[H3690], And the integrity[H8537] of thy ways[H1870] thy hope[H8615]?
7. Remember[H2142], I pray thee[H6], who ever perished, being innocent[H5355]? Or where[H375] were the upright[H3477] cut off[H3582]?
8. According as I have seen[H7200], they that plow[H2790] iniquity[H205], And sow[H2232] trouble[H5999], reap the same[H7114].
9. By the breath[H5397] of God[H433] they perish[H6], And by the blast[H7307] of his anger[H639] are they consumed[H3615].
10. The roaring[H7581] of the lion[H738], and the voice[H6963] of the fierce lion[H7826], And the teeth[H8127] of the young lions[H3715], are broken[H5421].
11. The old lion[H3918] perisheth[H6] for lack[H1097] of prey[H2964], And the whelps[H1121] of the lioness[H3833] are scattered abroad[H6504].
12. Now a thing[H1697] was secretly brought[H1589] to me[H241], And mine ear received[H3947] a whisper thereof[H8102].
13. In thoughts[H5587] from the visions[H2384] of the night[H3915], When deep sleep[H8639] falleth[H5307] on men[H582],
14. Fear[H6343] came[H7122] upon me[H7461], and trembling, Which made all[H7230] my bones[H6106] to shake[H6342].
15. Then a spirit[H7307] passed[H2498] before my face[H6440]; The hair[H8185] of my flesh[H1320] stood up[H5568].
16. It stood still[H5975], but I could not discern[H5234] the appearance[H4758] thereof[H4758]; A form was before mine eyes[H5869]: There was silence[H1827], and I heard[H8085] a voice[H6963], saying,
17. Shall mortal man[H582] be more just[H6663] than God[H433]? Shall a man[H1397] be more pure[H2891] than his Maker[H6213]?
18. Behold[H539], he putteth no trust in his servants[H5650]; And his angels[H4397] he chargeth[H7760] with folly[H8417]:
19. How much more[H637] them that dwell[H7931] in houses[H1004] of clay[H2563], Whose foundation[H3247] is in the dust[H6083], Who are crushed[H1792] before[H6440] the moth[H6211]!
20. Betwixt morning[H1242] and evening[H6153] they are destroyed[H3807]: They perish[H6] for ever[H5331] without any regarding it[H7760].
21. Is not their tent-cord[H3499] plucked[H5265] up within them[H4191]? They die, and that without wisdom[H2451].
