욥4~욥5 내 연구 노트 · 구약

^4:1 Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,

^4:2 If we assay to commune with thee, wilt thou be grieved? but who can withhold himself from speaking?

^4:3 Behold, thou hast instructed many, and thou hast strengthened the weak hands.

^4:4 Thy words have upholden him that was falling, and thou hast strengthened the feeble knees.

^4:5 But now it is come upon thee, and thou faintest; it toucheth thee, and thou art troubled.

^4:6 Is not this thy fear, thy confidence, thy hope, and the uprightness of thy ways?

^4:7 Remember, I pray thee, who ever perished, being innocent? or where were the righteous cut off?

^4:8 Even as I have seen, they that plow iniquity, and sow wickedness, reap the same.

^4:9 By the blast of God they perish, and by the breath of his nostrils are they consumed.

^4:10 The roaring of the lion, and the voice of the fierce lion, and the teeth of the young lions, are broken.

^4:11 The old lion perisheth for lack of prey, and the stout lion’s whelps are scattered abroad.

^4:12 Now a thing was secretly brought to me, and mine ear received a little thereof.

^4:13 In thoughts from the visions of the night, when deep sleep falleth on men,

^4:14 Fear came upon me, and trembling, which made all my bones to shake.

^4:15 Then a spirit passed before my face; the hair of my flesh stood up:

^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 ,

^4:17 Shall mortal man be more just than God? shall a man be more pure than his maker?

^4:18 Behold, he put no trust in his servants; and his angels he charged with folly:

^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?

^4:20 They are destroyed from morning to evening: they perish for ever without any regarding it .

^4:21 Doth not their excellency which is in them go away? they die, even without wisdom.

^5:1 Call now, if there be any that will answer thee; and to which of the saints wilt thou turn?

^5:2 For wrath killeth the foolish man, and envy slayeth the silly one.

^5:3 I have seen the foolish taking root: but suddenly I cursed his habitation.

^5:4 His children are far from safety, and they are crushed in the gate, neither is there any to deliver them .

^5:5 Whose harvest the hungry eateth up, and taketh it even out of the thorns, and the robber swalloweth up their substance.

^5:6 Although affliction cometh not forth of the dust, neither doth trouble spring out of the ground;

^5:7 Yet man is born unto trouble, as the sparks fly upward.

^5:8 I would seek unto God, and unto God would I commit my cause:

^5:9 Which doeth great things and unsearchable; marvellous things without number:

^5:10 Who giveth rain upon the earth, and sendeth waters upon the fields:

^5:11 To set up on high those that be low; that those which mourn may be exalted to safety.

^5:12 He disappointeth the devices of the crafty, so that their hands cannot perform their enterprise.

^5:13 He taketh the wise in their own craftiness: and the counsel of the froward is carried headlong.

^5:14 They meet with darkness in the daytime, and grope in the noonday as in the night.

^5:15 But he saveth the poor from the sword, from their mouth, and from the hand of the mighty.

^5:16 So the poor hath hope, and iniquity stoppeth her mouth.

^5:17 Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth: therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty:

^5:18 For he maketh sore, and bindeth up: he woundeth, and his hands make whole.

^5:19 He shall deliver thee in six troubles: yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee.
