| # Chapter 4
| And Eliphaz the Temanite answereth and saith: --
| Hath one tried a word with thee? -- Thou art weary! And to keep in words who is able?
| Lo, thou hast instructed many, And feeble hands thou makest strong.
| The stumbling one do thy words raise up, And bowing knees thou dost strengthen.
| But now, it cometh in unto thee, And thou art weary; It striketh unto thee, and thou art troubled.
| Is not thy reverence thy confidence? Thy hope -- the perfection of thy ways?
| Remember, I pray thee, Who, being innocent, hath perished? And where have the upright been cut off?
| As I have seen -- ploughers of iniquity, And sowers of misery, reap it!
| From the breath of God they perish, And from the spirit of His anger consumed.
| The roaring of a lion, And the voice of a fierce lion, And teeth of young lions have been broken.
| An old lion is perishing without prey, And the whelps of the lioness do separate.
| And unto me a thing is secretly brought, And receive doth mine ear a little of it.
| In thoughts from visions of the night, In the falling of deep sleep on men,
| Fear hath met me, and trembling, And the multitude of my bones caused to fear.
| And a spirit before my face doth pass, Stand up doth the hair of my flesh;
| It standeth, and I discern not its aspect, A similitude [is] over-against mine eyes, Silence! and a voice I hear:
| 'Is mortal man than God more righteous? Than his Maker is a man cleaner?
| Lo, in His servants He putteth no credence, Nor in His messengers setteth praise.'
| Also -- the inhabitants of houses of clay, (Whose foundation [is] in the dust, They bruise them before a moth.)
| From morning to evening are beaten down, Without any regarding, for ever they perish.
| Hath not their excellency been removed with them? They die, and not in wisdom!
