Job 4

New International Version NIV

1 Then Eliphaz the Temanite replied:

2 “If someone ventures a word with you, will you be impatient? But who can keep from speaking?

3 Think how you have instructed many, how you have strengthened feeble hands.

4 Your words have supported those who stumbled; you have strengthened faltering knees.

5 But now trouble comes to you, and you are discouraged; it strikes you, and you are dismayed.

6 Should not your piety be your confidence and your blameless ways your hope?

7 “Consider now: Who, being innocent, has ever perished? Where were the upright ever destroyed?

8 As I have observed, those who plow evil and those who sow trouble reap it.

9 At the breath of God they perish; at the blast of his anger they are no more.

10 The lions may roar and growl, yet the teeth of the great lions are broken.

11 The lion perishes for lack of prey, and the cubs of the lioness are scattered.

12 “A word was secretly brought to me, my ears caught a whisper of it.

13 Amid disquieting dreams in the night, when deep sleep falls on people,

14 fear and trembling seized me and made all my bones shake.

15 A spirit glided past my face, and the hair on my body stood on end.

16 It stopped, but I could not tell what it was. A form stood before my eyes, and I heard a hushed voice:

17 ‘Can a mortal be more righteous than God? Can even a strong man be more pure than his Maker?

18 If God places no trust in his servants, if he charges his angels with error,

19 how much more those who live in houses of clay, whose foundations are in the dust, who are crushed more readily than a moth!

20 Between dawn and dusk they are broken to pieces; unnoticed, they perish forever.

21 Are not the cords of their tent pulled up, so that they die without wisdom?’

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 respondens autem Eliphaz Themanites dixit

2 si coeperimus loqui tibi forsitan moleste accipias sed conceptum sermonem tenere quis possit

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 timor tuus fortitudo tua patientia tua et perfectio viarum tuarum

7 recordare obsecro te quis umquam innocens perierit aut quando recti deleti sint

8 quin potius vidi eos qui operantur iniquitatem et seminant dolores et metunt eos

9 flante Deo perisse et spiritu irae eius esse consumptos

10 rugitus leonis et vox leaenae et dentes catulorum leonum contriti sunt

11 tigris periit eo quod non haberet praedam et catuli leonis dissipati sunt

12 porro ad me dictum est verbum absconditum et quasi furtive suscepit auris mea venas susurri eius

13 in horrore visionis nocturnae quando solet sopor occupare homines

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

15 et cum spiritus me praesente transiret inhorruerunt pili carnis meae

16 stetit quidam cuius non agnoscebam vultum imago coram oculis meis et vocem quasi aurae lenis audivi

17 numquid homo Dei conparatione iustificabitur aut factore suo purior erit vir

18 ecce qui serviunt ei non sunt stabiles et in angelis suis repperit pravitatem

19 quanto magis hii qui habitant domos luteas qui terrenum habent fundamentum consumentur velut a tinea

20 de mane usque ad vesperum succidentur et quia nullus intellegit in aeternum peribunt

21 qui autem reliqui fuerint auferentur ex eis morientur et non in sapientia
