| 4:2 | If we assay |
Hath one tried a word with thee? -- Thou art weary! And to keep in words who is able? |
| 4:3 | Behold, thou hast instructed many, and thou hast strengthened the weak hands. | Lo, thou hast instructed many, And feeble hands thou makest strong. |
| 4:4 | Thy words have upholden him that was falling, and thou hast strengthened |
The stumbling one do thy words raise up, And bowing knees thou dost strengthen. |
| 4:5 | But now it is come upon thee, and thou faintest; it toucheth thee, and thou art troubled. | But now, it cometh in unto thee, And thou art weary; It striketh unto thee, and thou art troubled. |
| 4:6 | Is not this thy fear, thy confidence, thy hope, and the uprightness of thy ways? | Is not thy reverence thy confidence? Thy hope -- the perfection of thy ways? |
| 4:7 | Remember, I pray thee, who ever perished, being innocent? or where were the righteous cut off? | Remember, I pray thee, Who, being innocent, hath perished? And where have the upright been cut off? |
| 4:8 | Even as I have seen, they that plow iniquity, and sow wickedness, reap the same. | As I have seen -- ploughers of iniquity, And sowers of misery, reap it! |
| 4:9 | By the blast of God they perish, and by the breath of his nostrils are they consumed. | From the breath of God they perish, And from the spirit of His anger consumed. |
| 4:10 | The roaring of the lion, and the voice of the fierce lion, and the teeth of the young lions, are broken. | The roaring of a lion, And the voice of a fierce lion, And teeth of young lions have been broken. |
| 4:11 | The old lion perisheth for lack of prey, and the stout lion's whelps are scattered abroad. | An old lion is perishing without prey, And the whelps of the lioness do separate. |
| 4:12 | Now a thing was |
And unto me a thing is secretly brought, And receive doth mine ear a little of it. |
| 4:13 | In thoughts from the visions of the night, when deep sleep falleth on men, | In thoughts from visions of the night, In the falling of deep sleep on men, |
| 4:14 | Fear |
Fear hath met me, and trembling, And the multitude of my bones caused to fear. |
| 4:15 | Then a spirit passed before my face; the hair of my flesh stood up: | And a spirit before my face doth pass, Stand up doth the hair of my flesh; |
| 4:16 | 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, | It standeth, and I discern not its aspect, A similitude `is' over-against mine eyes, Silence! and a voice I hear: |
| 4:17 | Shall mortal man be more just than God? shall a man be more pure than his maker? | `Is mortal man than God more righteous? Than his Maker is a man cleaner? |
| 4:18 | Behold, he put no trust in his servants; and his angels he charged with folly: | Lo, in His servants He putteth no credence, Nor in His messengers setteth praise.' |
| 4:19 | How much less in them that dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, which are crushed before the moth? | Also -- the inhabitants of houses of clay, (Whose foundation `is' in the dust, They bruise them before a moth.) |
| 4:20 | They are |
From morning to evening are beaten down, Without any regarding, for ever they perish. |
| 4:21 | Doth not their excellency which is in them go away? they die, even without wisdom. | Hath not their excellency been removed with them? They die, and not in wisdom! |
