CHAPTER 4
Eliphaz: Job Has Sinned
Eliphaz Rebukes Job
1 Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said:
​
2 ​​“If one attempts a word with you, will you become weary?
​​But who can withhold himself from speaking?
3 ​​Surely you have instructed many,
​​And you have strengthened weak hands.
4 ​​Your words have upheld him who was stumbling,
​​And you have strengthened the feeble knees;
5 ​​But now it comes upon you, and you are weary;
​​It touches you, and you are troubled.
6 ​​Is not your reverence your confidence?
​​And the integrity of your ways your hope?
​
7 ​​“Remember now, who ever perished being innocent?
​​Or where were the upright ever cut off?
8 ​​Even as I have seen,
​​Those who plow iniquity
​​And sow trouble reap the same.
9 ​​By the blast of God they perish,
​​And by the breath of His anger they are consumed.
10 ​​The roaring of the lion,
​​The voice of the fierce lion,
​​And the teeth of the young lions are broken.
11 ​​The old lion perishes for lack of prey,
​​And the cubs of the lioness are scattered.
​
12 ​​“Now a word was secretly brought to me,
​​And my ear received a whisper of it.
13 ​​In disquieting thoughts from the visions of the night,
​​When deep sleep falls on men,
14 ​​Fear came upon me, and trembling,
​​Which made all my bones shake.
15 ​​Then a spirit passed before my face;
​​The hair on my body stood up.
16 ​​It stood still,
​​But I could not discern its appearance.
​​A form was before my eyes;
​​There was silence;
​​Then I heard a voice saying:
17 ​‘​Can a mortal be more righteous than God?
​​Can a man be more pure than his Maker?
18 ​​If He puts no trust in His servants,
​​If He charges His angels with error,
19 ​​How much more those who dwell in houses of clay,
​​Whose foundation is in the dust,
​​Who are crushed before a moth?
20 ​​They are broken in pieces from morning till evening;
​​They perish forever, with no one regarding.
21 ​​Does not their own excellence go away?
​​They die, even without wisdom.’
