Job 4 Verses
1
|
Eliphaz from Teman answered: |
2
|
"I must say something. Would it upset you if I speak? |
3
|
Job, you have taught many people. You encouraged those who were ready to quit. |
4
|
Your words helped those who were ready to fall. You gave strength to those who could not stand by themselves. |
5
|
But now trouble comes to you, and you are discouraged. Trouble hits you, and you are upset. |
6
|
You worship God. You trust him. You are a good man, so let that be your hope. |
7
|
Can you think of any innocent person who was ever destroyed? Do you know of any place where good people are punished? |
8
|
Yes, I have seen people whose lives were cut short, but they were evil troublemakers. |
9
|
They lost the breath God gave them. They were cut off from his breath of life. |
10
|
They were like roaring lions, like growling lions with broken teeth— |
11
|
like a lioness that cannot find prey. They died, and their cubs starved to death. |
12
|
"I happened to hear a message. My ears caught a whisper of it. |
13
|
Like a bad dream in the night, it ruined my sleep. |
14
|
It frightened me, and I trembled down to my bones. |
15
|
A spirit passed by my face. The hair on my body stood up! |
16
|
The spirit stood still, but I could not see what it was. A shape stood before my eyes, and there was silence. Then I heard a quiet voice: |
17
|
'A person cannot be more right than God. People cannot be more pure than their Maker. |
18
|
Look, God cannot even trust his heavenly servants. He sees faults even in his angels. |
19
|
So surely people are worse! They live in houses of clay built on dust. They can be crushed as easily as a moth! |
20
|
From dawn to sunset people are destroyed. They die—gone forever—and no one even notices. |
21
|
The ropes of their tent are pulled up, and they die before gaining wisdom.' |
