Job 4:18 - Prayer Tents

The First Dialogue

4Job, will you be annoyed if I speak?H464H8489H6030H559 2I can't keep quiet any longer.H5254H1697H3811H3201H6113H4405 3You have taught many people and given strength to feeble hands.H3256H7227H2388H7504H3027 4When someone stumbled, weak and tired, your words encouraged him to stand.H4405H6965H3782H553H3766H1290 5Now it's your turn to be in trouble, and you are too stunned to face it.H935H3811H5060H926 6You worshiped God, and your life was blameless; and so you should have confidence and hope.H3374H3690H8615H8537H1870 7Think back now. Name a single case where someone righteous met with disaster.H2142H6H5355H375H3477H3582 8I have seen people plow fields of evil and plant wickedness like seed; now they harvest wickedness and evil.H7200H2790H205H2232H5999H7114 9Like a storm, God destroys them in his anger.H5397H433H6H7307H639H3615 10The wicked roar and growl like lions, but God silences them and breaks their teeth.H7581H738H6963H7826H8127H3715H5421 11Like lions with nothing to kill and eat, they die, and all their children are scattered.H3918H6H1097H2964H3833H1121H6504 12Once a message came quietly, so quietly I could hardly hear it.H1697H1589H241H3947H8102 13Like a nightmare it disturbed my sleep.H5587H2384H3915H8639H5307H582 14I trembled and shuddered; my whole body shook with fear.H6343H7122H7461H7230H6106H6342 15A light breeze touched my face, and my skin crawled with fright.H7307H2498H6440H8185H1320H5568 16I could see something standing there; I stared, but couldn't tell what it was. Then I heard a voice out of the silence:H5975H5234H4758H8544H5869H1827H8085H6963 17"Can anyone be righteous in the sight of God or be pure before his Creator?H582H6663H433H1397H2891H6213 18God does not trust his heavenly servants; he finds fault even with his angels.H539H5650H4397H7760H8417 19Do you think he will trust a creature of clay, a thing of dust that can be crushed like a moth?H637H7931H1004H2563H3247H6083H1792H6440H6211 20We may be alive in the morning, but die unnoticed before evening comes.H3807H1242H6153H6H5331H7760 21All that we have is taken away; we die, still lacking wisdom."H3499H5265H4191H2451
