Bible. Job
18:003:019 The small and great are there; and the servant is free from
his master.
18:003:020 Wherefore is light given to him that is in misery, and life
unto the bitter in soul;
18:003:021 Which long for death, but it cometh not; and dig for it more
than for hid treasures;
18:003:022 Which rejoice exceedingly, and are glad, when they can find
the grave?
18:003:023 Why is light given to a man whose way is hid, and whom God
hath hedged in?
18:003:024 For my sighing cometh before I eat, and my roarings are poured
out like the waters.
18:003:025 For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that
which I was afraid of is come unto me.
18:003:026 I was not in safety, neither had I rest, neither was I quiet;
yet trouble came.
18:004:001 Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,
18:004:002 If we assay to commune with thee, wilt thou be grieved? but
who can withhold himself from speaking?
18:004:003 Behold, thou hast instructed many, and thou hast strengthened
the weak hands.
18:004:004 Thy words have upholden him that was falling, and thou hast
strengthened the feeble knees.
18:004:005 But now it is come upon thee, and thou faintest; it toucheth
thee, and thou art troubled.
18:004:006 Is not this thy fear, thy confidence, thy hope, and the
uprightness of thy ways?
18:004:007 Remember, I pray thee, who ever perished, being innocent? or
where were the righteous cut off?
18:004:008 Even as I have seen, they that plow iniquity, and sow
wickedness, reap the same.
18:004:009 By the blast of God they perish, and by the breath of his
nostrils are they consumed.
18:004:010 The roaring of the lion, and the voice of the fierce lion, and
the teeth of the young lions, are broken.
18:004:011 The old lion perisheth for lack of prey, and the stout lion's
whelps are scattered abroad.
18:004:012 Now a thing was secretly brought to me, and mine ear received
a little thereof.
18:004:013 In thoughts from the visions of the night, when deep sleep
falleth on men,
18:004:014 Fear came upon me, and trembling, which made all my bones to
shake.
18:004:015 Then a spirit passed before my face; the hair of my flesh
stood up:
18:004:016 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,
18:004:017 Shall mortal man be more just than God? shall a man be more
pure than his maker?
18:004:018 Behold, he put no trust in his servants; and his angels he
charged with folly:
18:004:019 How much less in them that dwell in houses of clay, whose
foundation is in the dust, which are crushed before the moth?
