Job 4
- The Eliphaz the Temanite replied;
- "If someone ventures a word with you, will you be impatient? But who can keep from speaking?
- Think how you have instructed many, how you have strengthened feeble hands
- Your words have supported those who stumbled; you have strengthened faltering kenees.
- But now trouble comes to you, and you are discouraged; it strikes you, and you are dismayed.
- Should not your piety by your confidence and your nlameless ways your hope?
- "Consider now; Who being innocent, has ever perished? Where were the upright ever destroyed?
- As I have observed, those who plow evil and those who sow trouble reap it.
- At the breath of God they are destroyed; at the blast of his anger they perish.
- The lions may roar and grow;, yet thje teeth of the great lions are broken
- The lion perishes for lack of prey, and th cubs of the lioness are scattered.
- "A word was secretly brought to me, my ears caught a whisper of it.
- Amud disquieting dreams in tje night, when deep sleep falls on men,
- fear and trembling seized me and made all my bones shake.
- A spirit glided past my face, and made all my body stood on end.
- It stopped , but I could not tell what it was, A form stood before my eyes, and I heard a hushed voice.
- Can a mortal be more righteous than God? Can a man be more pure than his Maker?
- If God places no trust in his servants, if he charges his angels with error,
- how much more those who live in houses of clay, whose foundations are in the dust, who are crushed more readily than a moth!
- Between dawn and dusk they are broken to pieces; unnoticed, they perish forever.
- Are not the cords of their tent pulled up, so that they die without wisdom?"
Job 5
- "Call if you will, but who will answer you? To which of the holy ones will you turn?
- Resentment kills a fool, and envy slays the simple.
- I myself have seen a fool taking root suddenly his house was cursed.
- His children are far from safety, crushed in court without a defender.
- The hungry consume his jarvest, taking it even from among thorns, and the thirsty pant after his wealth.
- For hardship does not spring from the soil, nor does trouble sprout from the grpund.
- Yet man is born to trouble as surely as sparks fly upward.
- "But if it were, I would appeal to God; I would lay my cause before him.
- He performs wonders that cannot be fathomed, miracles that cannot be counted.
- He bestows rain on thee arth; he sends water upon the cointryside.
- The lowly he sets on high, and those who mourn are lifted to safety.
- He thwarts the plans of the crafty, so that their hands achieve no success.
- He catches the wise in their craftiness, and the schemes of the wily are swept away.
- Darkness comes upon them in the daytime; at noomn they grope as in the night.
- He saves the needy from the sword in their mouth; he saves them from the clutches of the powerful.
- So the poor have hope, and injustice shuts its mouth.
- "Blessed is the man whom God corrects; so do not despise the discipline of the Almighty.
- For he wounds , but he alkso binds up; he injures, but his hands also heal.
- From six calamities he will rescue you; in seven no harm will befall you.
- In famine he will ransom you from death, and in battle from the stroke of the sword.
- You will be protected from the lask of the tongue, and need not fear when destruction and famine.
- You will laugh at destruction and famine, and need not fear teh beasts of the earth.
- For you will have a covenant with the stones of the field, and the wild animals will be at peace with you.
- You will know that your tents is secure; you will take stock of your property and find nothing missing,
- You will know that your children will be many, and your descendants like the grass of the earth.
- You will come to the grave in full vigor, like sheaves gathered in season.
- "We have examined this, and it is true. So hear it and apply it to yourself."
Job 6
- "If onlt my anguish coukd be weighed and all my misery be placed on the scales!
- It would surely outweigh the sand of the seas =no wonder my words have been impetuous.
- It would surely outweigh the sand of the seas-no wnder my words have been impetuous.
- The arrows of the Almighty are in me, my spirit drinks in their poison; God's terrow are marshaled against me.
- Does a wild donkey bray when it has grass, or an ox bellow when it has fodder?
- Is tasteless food eaten without salt, or is there flavor in the white of an egg?
- I refuse to tpuch it; such food makes me ill.
- "Oh , that I might have my request, that God would grant what I hope for.
- that God would be willing to crush me, to let loose his hand and cut me off!
- Then I would stikl have this consolation- my joy in unrelenting pain- that I had not denied the words of the Holy One
- "What strenght do have , that i SHOULD STILL HOPE? wHAT PROSPECTS, THAT i SHOULD BE PATIENT?
- Do I have the strength of stone? Is my flesh bronze?
- Do I have any power to hepl myself, now that success has been driven from me?
- "A despairing man shoukd have the devotion of his friends, even though he forsakjes the fear of the Almighty
- But my brothers are as undependable as intermittent streams, as thes treams that overflow
- when darkened by thawing ice and swollen with melting snow.
- byt that cease to flow in the dry season, and in the heat vanish from their channels.
- Caravans turn aside from their routes; they go up into the wasteland and perish.
- The caravans of Tema look for water the traveling merchants of Sheba look in hope.
- They are distressedm because they had been confident; they arrive there; onlu to be disappointed.
- Now you too have proved to be of no help you see something dreadful and are afraid.
- Have I ever said. Give something on my behalf, pay a ransom for me from your wealth.
- deliver me from the hand of the enemy, ransom me from the clutches of the ruthless"?
- "Teach me, and I will be quiet; show me where I have been wrong.
- How painful are honest words! But what do you arguments prove?
- Do you mean to correct what I say, and treat the words of a despairing man as wind?
- You would even cast lots for the fatherless and barter away your friend.
- "But now be so kind as to look at me. Would I lie to your face?
- Relent, do not be unjust; reconsider, for my integrity is at stake
- Is there any wickedness on my lips? Can my mouth not discern malice?
