Job 4 (WEBP)

[1] Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered,
[2] “If someone ventures to talk with you, will you be grieved? But who can withhold himself from speaking?
[3] Behold, you have instructed many, you have strengthened the weak hands.
[4] Your words have supported him who was falling, you have made the feeble knees firm.
[5] But now it has come to you, and you faint. It touches you, and you are troubled.
[6] Isn’t your piety your confidence? Isn’t the integrity of your ways your hope?
[7] “Remember, now, whoever perished, being innocent? Or where were the upright cut off?
[8] According to what I have seen, those who plow iniquity and sow trouble, reap the same.
[9] By the breath of God they perish. By the blast of his anger are they consumed.
[10] The roaring of the lion, and the voice of the fierce lion, the teeth of the young lions, are broken.
[11] The old lion perishes for lack of prey. The cubs of the lioness are scattered abroad.
[12] “Now a thing was secretly brought to me. My ear received a whisper of it.
[13] In thoughts from the visions of the night, when deep sleep falls on men,
[14] fear came on me, and trembling, which made all my bones shake.
[15] Then a spirit passed before my face. The hair of my flesh stood up.
[16] It stood still, but I couldn’t discern its appearance. A form was before my eyes. Silence, then I heard a voice, saying,
[17] ‘Shall mortal man be more just than God? Shall a man be more pure than his Maker?
[18] Behold, he puts no trust in his servants. 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 the moth!
[20] Between morning and evening they are destroyed. They perish forever without any regarding it.
[21] Isn’t their tent cord plucked up within them? They die, and that without wisdom.’

Job 4 (BYZ)

[1] υπολαβων δε ελιφας ο θαιμανιτης λεγει
[2] μη πολλακις σοι λελαληται εν κοπω ισχυν δε ρηματων σου τις υποισει
[3] ει γαρ συ ενουθετησας πολλους και χειρας ασθενους παρεκαλεσας
[4] ασθενουντας τε εξανεστησας ρημασιν γονασιν τε αδυνατουσιν θαρσος περιεθηκας
[5] νυν δε ηκει επι σε πονος και ηψατο σου συ δε εσπουδασας
[6] ποτερον ουχ ο φοβος σου εστιν εν αφροσυνη και η ελπις σου και η ακακια της οδου σου
[7] μνησθητι ουν τις καθαρος ων απωλετο η ποτε αληθινοι ολορριζοι απωλοντο
[8] καθ ον τροπον ειδον τους αροτριωντας τα ατοπα οι δε σπειροντες αυτα οδυνας θεριουσιν εαυτοις
[9] απο προσταγματος κυριου απολουνται απο δε πνευματος οργης αυτου αφανισθησονται
[10] σθενος λεοντος φωνη δε λεαινης γαυριαμα δε δρακοντων εσβεσθη
[11] μυρμηκολεων ωλετο παρα το μη εχειν βοραν σκυμνοι δε λεοντων ελιπον αλληλους
[12] ει δε τι ρημα αληθινον εγεγονει εν λογοις σου ουθεν αν σοι τουτων κακον απηντησεν ποτερον ου δεξεται μου το ους εξαισια παρ αυτου
[13] φοβοι δε και ηχω νυκτερινη επιπιπτων φοβος επ ανθρωπους
[14] φρικη δε μοι συνηντησεν και τρομος και μεγαλως μου τα οστα συνεσεισεν
[15] και πνευμα επι προσωπον μου επηλθεν εφριξαν δε μου τριχες και σαρκες
[16] ανεστην και ουκ επεγνων ειδον και ουκ ην μορφη προ οφθαλμων μου αλλ η αυραν και φωνην ηκουον
[17] τι γαρ μη καθαρος εσται βροτος εναντιον κυριου η απο των εργων αυτου αμεμπτος ανηρ
[18] ει κατα παιδων αυτου ου πιστευει κατα δε αγγελων αυτου σκολιον τι επενοησεν
[19] τους δε κατοικουντας οικιας πηλινας εξ ων και αυτοι εκ του αυτου πηλου εσμεν επαισεν αυτους σητος τροπον
[20] και απο πρωιθεν εως εσπερας ουκετι εισιν παρα το μη δυνασθαι αυτους εαυτοις βοηθησαι απωλοντο
[21] ενεφυσησεν γαρ αυτοις και εξηρανθησαν απωλοντο παρα το μη εχειν αυτους σοφιαν
