| 4:2 | If we assay5254 to commune1697 with thee, wilt thou be grieved?3811 but who can3201 withhold6113 himself from speaking?4405 | |
| 4:3 | Behold, thou hast instructed3256 many,7227 and thou hast strengthened2388 the weak7504 hands.3027 | |
| 4:4 | Thy words4405 have upholden6965 him that was falling,3782 and thou hast strengthened553 the feeble3766 knees.1290 | |
| 4:5 | But now it is come935 upon thee, and thou faintest;3811 it toucheth5060 thee, and thou art troubled.926 | |
| 4:6 | Is not this thy fear,3374 thy confidence,3690 thy hope,8615 and the uprightness8537 of thy ways?1870 | |
| 4:7 | Remember,2142 I pray thee, who ever perished,6 being innocent?5355 or where375 were the righteous3477 cut off?3582 | |
| 4:8 | Even as I have seen,7200 they that plow2790 iniquity,205 and sow2232 wickedness,5999 reap7114 the same. | |
| 4:9 | By the blast5397 of Eloah433 they perish,6 and by the breath7307 of his nostrils639 are they consumed.3615 | |
| 4:10 | The roaring7581 of the lion,738 and the voice6963 of the fierce lion,7826 and the teeth8127 of the young lions,3715 are broken.5421 | |
| 4:11 | The old lion3918 perisheth6 for lack1097 of prey,2964 and the stout lion's3833 whelps1121 are scattered abroad.6504 | |
| 4:12 | Now a thing1697 was secretly brought1589 to me, and mine ear241 received3947 a little8102 thereof. | |
| 4:13 | In thoughts5587 from the visions2384 of the night,3915 when deep sleep8639 falleth5307 on men,582 | |
| 4:14 | Fear6343 came7122 upon me, and trembling,7461 which made all7230 my bones6106 to shake.6342 | |
| 4:15 | Then a spirit7307 passed2498 before my face;6440 the hair8185 of my flesh1320 stood up:5568 | |
| 4:16 | It stood still,5975 but I could not discern5234 the form4758 thereof: an image8544 was before mine eyes,5869 there was silence,1827 and I heard8085 a voice,6963 saying, | |
| 4:17 | Shall mortal man582 be more just6663 than Eloah?433 shall a man1397 be more pure2891 than his maker?6213 | |
| 4:18 | Behold, he put no trust539 in his servants;5650 and his angels4397 he charged7760 with folly:8417 | |
| 4:19 | How much less637 in them that dwell7931 in houses1004 of clay,2563 whose foundation3247 is in the dust,6083 which are crushed1792 before6440 the moth?6211 | |
| 4:20 | They are destroyed3807 from morning1242 to evening:6153 they perish6 for ever5331 without any regarding7760 it. | |
| 4:21 | Doth not their excellency3499 which is in them go away?5265 they die,4191 even without wisdom.2451 |
