Job 4:12--5:7

Now a thing
<01697>
was secretly brought
<01589> (8792)
to me, and mine ear
<0241>
received
<03947> (8799)
a little
<08102>
thereof. {secretly: Heb. by stealth}
In thoughts
<05587>
from the visions
<02384>
of the night
<03915>_,
when deep sleep
<08639>
falleth
<05307> (8800)
on men
<0582>_,
Fear
<06343>
came
<07122> (8804)
upon me, and trembling
<07461>_,
which made all
<07230>
my bones
<06106>
to shake
<06342> (8689)_.
{came...: Heb. met} {all: Heb. the multitude of}
Then a spirit
<07307>
passed
<02498> (8799)
before my face
<06440>_;
the hair
<08185>
of my flesh
<01320>
stood up
<05568> (8762)_:
It stood still
<05975> (8799)_,
but I could not discern
<05234> (8686)
the form
<04758>
thereof: an image
<08544>
[was] before mine eyes
<05869>_,
[there was] silence
<01827>_,
and I heard
<08085> (8799)
a voice
<06963>_,
[saying], {there...: or, I heard a still voice}
Shall mortal man
<0582>
be more just
<06663> (8799)
than God
<0433>_?
shall a man
<01397>
be more pure
<02891> (8799)
than his maker
<06213> (8802)_?
Behold, he put no trust
<0539> (8686)
in his servants
<05650>_;
and his angels
<04397>
he charged
<07760> (8799)
with folly
<08417>_:
{and his...: or, nor in his angels, in whom he put light}
How much less
<0637>
[in] them that dwell
<07931> (8802)
in houses
<01004>
of clay
<02563>_,
whose foundation
<03247>
[is] in the dust
<06083>_,
[which] are crushed
<01792> (8762)
before
<06440>
the moth
<06211>_?
They are destroyed
<03807> (8714)
from morning
<01242>
to evening
<06153>_:
they perish
<06> (8799)
for ever
<05331>
without any regarding
<07760> (8688)
[it]. {destroyed: Heb. beaten in pieces}
Doth not their excellency
<03499>
[which is] in them go away
<05265> (8738)_?
they die
<04191> (8799)_,
even without wisdom
<02451>_.
Call
<07121> (8798)
now, if there be
<03426>
any that will answer
<06030> (8802)
thee; and to which of the saints
<06918>
wilt thou turn
<06437> (8799)_?
{turn: or, look?}
For wrath
<03708>
killeth
<02026> (8799)
the foolish man
<0191>_,
and envy
<07068>
slayeth
<04191> (8686)
the silly one
<06601> (8802)_.
{envy: or, indignation}
I have seen
<07200> (8804)
the foolish
<0191>
taking root
<08327> (8688)_:
but suddenly
<06597>
I cursed
<05344> (8799)
his habitation
<05116>_.
His children
<01121>
are far
<07368> (8799)
from safety
<03468>_,
and they are crushed
<01792> (8691)
in the gate
<08179>_,
neither [is there] any to deliver
<05337> (8688)
[them].
Whose harvest
<07105>
the hungry
<07457>
eateth up
<0398> (8799)_,
and taketh
<03947> (8799)
it even out
<0413>
of the thorns
<06791>_,
and the robber
<06782>
swalloweth up
<07602> (8804)
their substance
<02428>_.
Although affliction
<0205>
cometh not forth
<03318> (8799)
of the dust
<06083>_,
neither doth trouble
<05999>
spring out
<06779> (8799)
of the ground
<0127>_;
{affliction: or, iniquity}
Yet man
<0120>
is born
<03205> (8795)
unto trouble
<05999>_,
as the sparks
<01121> <07565>
fly
<05774> (8800)
upward
<01361> (8686)_.
{trouble: or, labour} {sparks...: Heb. the sons of the burning coal lift up to fly}
