The Bible, Douay-Rheims, Book 20: Job: The Challoner Revision
Bible. Job
4:17. Shall man be justified in comparison of God, or shall a man be
more pure than his maker?
Shall man be justified in comparison of God, etc... These are the words
which Eliphaz had heard from an angel, which, ver. 15, he calls a
spirit.
4:18. Behold, they that serve him are not steadfast, and in his angels
he found wickedness:
4:19. How much more shall they that dwell in houses of clay, who have an
earthly foundation, be consumed as with the moth?
4:20. From morning till evening they shall be cut down: and because no
one understandeth, they shall perish for ever.
4:21. And they that shall be left, shall be taken away from them: they
shall die, and not in wisdom.

5:9. Who doth great things, and unsearchable and wonderful things
without number:
5:10. Who giveth rain upon the face of the earth, and watereth all
things with waters:
5:11. Who setteth up the humble on high, and comforteth with health
those that mourn.
5:12. Who bringeth to nought the designs of the malignant, so that their
hands cannot accomplish what they had begun:

in the night.

poor from the hand of the violent.

her mouth.

chastising of the Lord.

heal.

shall not touch thee.

the hand of the sword.

shalt not fear calamity when it cometh.

afraid of the beasts of the earth.

the beasts of the earth shall be at peace with thee.
