Job - Chapter: 4


4:1	Forsothe Eliphat Themanytes answeride, and seide,
4:2	If we bigynnen to speke to thee, in hap thou schalt take it heuyli; but who may holde a word conseyued?
4:3	Lo! thou hast tauyt ful many men, and thou hast strengthid hondis maad feynt.
4:4	Thi wordis confermyden men doutynge, and thou coumfortidist knees tremblynge.
4:5	But now a wounde is comun on thee, and thou hast failid; it touchide thee, and thou art disturblid.
4:6	Where is thi drede, thi strengthe, and thi pacience, and the perfeccioun of thi weies?
4:7	Y biseche thee, haue thou mynde, what innocent man perischide euere, ethir whanne riytful men weren doon awei?
4:8	Certis rathir Y siy hem, that worchen wickidnesse, and sowen sorewis,
4:9	and repen tho, to haue perischid bi God blowynge, and to be wastid bi the spirit of his ire.
4:10	The roryng of a lioun, and the vois of a lionesse, and the teeth of `whelpis of liouns ben al to-brokun.
4:11	Tigris perischide, for sche hadde not prey; and the whelpis of a lioun ben distried.
4:12	Certis an hid word was seid to me, and myn eere took as theueli the veynes of priuy noise therof.
4:13	In the hidousnesse of `nyytis siyt, whanne heuy sleep is wont to occupie men,
4:14	drede and tremblyng helde me; and alle my boonys weren aferd.
4:15	And whanne the spirit `yede in my presence, the heiris of `my fleisch hadden hidousnesse.
4:16	Oon stood, whos chere Y knewe not, an ymage bifor myn iyen; and Y herde a vois as of softe wynd.
4:17	Whether a man schal be maad iust in comparisoun of God? ethir whethir a man schal be clennere than his Makere?
4:18	Lo! thei that seruen hym ben not stidefast; and he findith schrewidnesse in hise aungels.
4:19	Hou myche more thei that dwellen in housis of cley, that han an ertheli foundement, schulen be wastyd as of a mouyte.
4:20	Fro morewtid til to euentid thei schulen be kit doun; and for no man vndurstondith, thei schulen perische with outen ende.
4:21	Sotheli thei, that ben residue, schulen be takun awei; thei schulen die, and not in wisdom.


4:1	Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered, and sayde,
4:2	If we assay to commune with thee, wilt thou be grieued? but who can withholde himselfe from speaking?
4:3	Behold, thou hast taught many, and hast strengthened the wearie hands.
4:4	Thy wordes haue confirmed him that was falling, and thou hast strengthened the weake knees.
4:5	But now it is come vpon thee, and thou art grieued: it toucheth thee, and thou art troubled.
4:6	Is not this thy feare, thy confidence, thy pacience, and the vprightnesse of thy wayes?
4:7	Remember, I pray thee: who euer perished, being an innocent? or where were the vpright destroyed?
4:8	As I haue seene, they that plow iniquitie, and sowe wickednesse, reape the same.
4:9	With the blast of God they perish, and with the breath of his nostrels are they cosumed.
4:10	The roaring of the Lion, and the voyce of the Lionesse, and the teeth of the Lions whelpes are broken.
4:11	The Lyon perisheth for lacke of pray, and the Lyons whelpes are scattered abroade.
4:12	But a thing was brought to me secretly, and mine eare hath receiued a litle thereof.
4:13	In the thoughtes of ye visions of the night, when sleepe falleth on men,
4:14	Feare came vpon me, and dread which made all my bones to tremble.
4:15	And the wind passed before me, and made the heares of my flesh to stande vp.
4:16	Then stoode one, and I knewe not his face: an image was before mine eyes, and in silence heard I a voyce, saying,
4:17	Shall man be more iust then God? or shall a man be more pure then his maker?
4:18	Beholde, he founde no stedfastnesse in his Seruants, and laid follie vpon his Angels.
4:19	Howe much more in them that dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, which shalbe destroyed before the moth?
4:20	They be destroyed from the morning vnto the euening: they perish for euer, without regarde.
4:21	Doeth not their dignitie goe away with them? do they not die, and that without wisdom?
