Jb 4 (King James)

¹ Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,
² If we assay to commune with thee, wilt thou be grieved? but who can withhold himself from speaking?
³ Behold, thou hast instructed many, and thou hast strengthened the weak hands.
⁴ Thy words have upholden him that was falling, and thou hast strengthened the feeble knees.
⁵ But now it is come upon thee, and thou faintest; it toucheth thee, and thou art troubled.
⁶ Is not this thy fear, thy confidence, thy hope, and the uprightness of thy ways?
⁷ Remember, I pray thee, who ever perished, being innocent? or where were the righteous cut off?
⁸ Even as I have seen, they that plow iniquity, and sow wickedness, reap the same.
⁹ By the blast of God they perish, and by the breath of his nostrils are they consumed.
¹⁰ The roaring of the lion, and the voice of the fierce lion, and the teeth of the young lions, are broken.
¹¹ The old lion perisheth for lack of prey, and the stout lion's whelps are scattered abroad.
¹² Now a thing was secretly brought to me, and mine ear received a little thereof.
¹³ In thoughts from the visions of the night, when deep sleep falleth on men,
¹⁴ Fear came upon me, and trembling, which made all my bones to shake.
¹⁵ Then a spirit passed before my face; the hair of my flesh stood up:
¹⁶ It stood still, but I could not discern the form thereof: an image was before mine eyes, there was silence, and 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 put no trust in his servants; and his angels he charged with folly:
¹⁹ How much less in them that dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, which are crushed before the moth?
²⁰ They are destroyed from morning to evening: they perish for ever without any regarding it.
²¹ Doth not their excellency which is in them go away? they die, even without wisdom.

Jb 4 (Vulgate)

¹ Respondens autem Eliphaz Themanites, dixit :
² [Si cœperimus loqui tibi, forsitan moleste accipies ; sed conceptum sermonem tenere quis poterit ?
³ Ecce docuisti multos, et manus lassas roborasti ;
⁴ vacillantes confirmaverunt sermones tui, et genua trementia confortasti.
⁵ Nunc autem venit super te plaga, et defecisti ; tetigit te, et conturbatus es.
⁶ Ubi est timor tuus, fortitudo tua, patientia tua, et perfectio viarum tuarum ?
⁷ Recordare, obsecro te, quis umquam innocens periit ? aut quando recti deleti sunt ?
⁸ Quin potius vidi eos qui operantur iniquitatem, et seminant dolores, et metunt eos,
⁹ flante Deo perisse, et spiritu iræ ejus esse consumptos.
¹⁰ Rugitus leonis, et vox leænæ, et dentes catulorum leonum contriti sunt.
¹¹ Tigris periit, eo quod non haberet prædam, et catuli leonis dissipati sunt.
¹² Porro ad me dictum est verbum absconditum, et quasi furtive suscepit auris mea venas susurri ejus.
¹³ In horrore visionis nocturnæ, quando solet sopor occupare homines,
¹⁴ pavor tenuit me, et tremor, et omnia ossa mea perterrita sunt ;
¹⁵ et cum spiritus, me præsente, transiret, inhorruerunt pili carnis meæ.
¹⁶ Stetit quidam, cujus non agnoscebam vultum, imago coram oculis meis, et vocem quasi auræ lenis audivi.
¹⁷ Numquid homo, Dei comparatione, justificabitur ? aut factore suo purior erit vir ?
¹⁸ Ecce qui serviunt ei, non sunt stabiles, et in angelis suis reperit pravitatem ;
¹⁹ quanto magis hi qui habitant domos luteas, qui terrenum habent fundamentum, consumentur velut a tinea ?
²⁰ De mane usque ad vesperam succidentur ; et quia nullus intelligit, in æternum peribunt.
²¹ Qui autem reliqui fuerint, auferentur ex eis ; morientur, et non in sapientia.]
