2 Hath one tried a word with thee? — Thou art weary! And to keep in words who is able?YLT — Job 4:2

3 Lo, thou hast instructed many, And feeble hands thou makest strong.YLT — Job 4:3

4 The stumbling one do thy words raise up, And bowing knees thou dost strengthen.YLT — Job 4:4

5 But now, it cometh in unto thee, And thou art weary; It striketh unto thee, and thou art troubled.YLT — Job 4:5

6 Is not thy reverence thy confidence? Thy hope — the perfection of thy ways?YLT — Job 4:6

7 Remember, I pray thee, Who, being innocent, hath perished? And where have the upright been cut off?YLT — Job 4:7

8 As I have seen — ploughers of iniquity, And sowers of misery, reap it!YLT — Job 4:8

9 From the breath of God they perish, And from the spirit of His anger consumed.YLT — Job 4:9

10 The roaring of a lion, And the voice of a fierce lion, And teeth of young lions have been broken.YLT — Job 4:10

11 An old lion is perishing without prey, And the whelps of the lioness do separate.YLT — Job 4:11

12 And unto me a thing is secretly brought, And receive doth mine ear a little of it.YLT — Job 4:12

13 In thoughts from visions of the night, In the falling of deep sleep on men,YLT — Job 4:13

14 Fear hath met me, and trembling, And the multitude of my bones caused to fear.YLT — Job 4:14

15 And a spirit before my face doth pass, Stand up doth the hair of my flesh;YLT — Job 4:15

16 It standeth, and I discern not its aspect, A similitude [is] over-against mine eyes, Silence! and a voice I hear:YLT — Job 4:16

17 ’Is mortal man than God more righteous? Than his Maker is a man cleaner?YLT — Job 4:17

18 Lo, in His servants He putteth no credence, Nor in His messengers setteth praise.’YLT — Job 4:18

19 Also — the inhabitants of houses of clay, (Whose foundation [is] in the dust, They bruise them before a moth.)YLT — Job 4:19

20 From morning to evening are beaten down, Without any regarding, for ever they perish.YLT — Job 4:20

21 Hath not their excellency been removed with them? They die, and not in wisdom!YLT — Job 4:21
