Chap. IIII.
Eliphaz blameth Iob as guiltie of impatience, arguing thereupon that he was
not so perfect in vertue as he semed. note 7. and therfore is now punished by
God, who (as Ehiphaz falsly supposeth) afflicteth not innocent men.
12. alleaging for proofe an imaginarie vision.

1 Bvt Eliphaz the Themanite answering, sayd: note
2 If we
shal begin to speake to thee, perhaps thou wilt take it
greuously, but the word conceiued who can hold?
3 Behold
thou hast taught manie, & wearie handes thou hast strengthened:
4 Them that wauered thy wordes haue confirmed,
and trembling knees thou hast strengthened:
5 But now a
plague is come vpon thee, and thou hast faynred: hath touched
thee, and art trubled.
6 Where is thy feare, thy strength, thy
patience, and the perfection of thy wayes?
7 Remember I
besech thee, who euer being innocent hath note perished? or
when haue the iust bene destroyed?
8 Yea rather I haue sene
them, that worke iniquitie, and sow sorrowes, & reape them,
9 to haue perished by the blast of God, and with the spirit
of his wrath to haue bene consumed.
10 The roaring of the
lion, and the voice of the lionesse, & the teeth of the whelpes
of lions are bruised:
11 The tigre hath perished, because he
had no praye, and the lions whelpes are destroyed.
12 Moreouer
note to me there was spoken a secret word, and as it were
by stealth hath mine eare receiued the vaines of the whispering
therof.
13 In the horrour of a vision by night, when deepe
sleepe is wont to hold men,
14 feare held me, and trembling,
and al my bones were made sore afrayd:
15 And when the
spirit passed in my presence, the heares of my flesh stood vpright.
16 There stood one, whose countenance I knew not,
an image before mine eies, and I heard the voyce as it were
of a gentle winde.
17 What, note shal man be iustified in comparison
of God, or shal a man be more pure then his maker?
18 Behold they that serue him, are not stable, and in his Angels
he found wickednes:
19 How much more they that inhabite
houses of clay, which haue an earthly foundation, shal be
consumed as it were of the moth?
20 From morning vntil euening
they shal be cut downe: and because none vnderstandeth,
they shal perish foreuer.
21 And they that shal be least,
shal be taken away from them: they shal die, and not in wisedom.
