004:001

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

004:002

Behold, thou hast instructed many, and thou hast strengthened the weak hands

004:003

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

004:004

But now it is come upon thee, and thou faintest; it toucheth thee, and thou art troubled

004:005

Is not this thy fear, thy confidence, thy hope, and the uprightness of thy ways

004:006

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

004:007

Even as I have seen, they that plow iniquity, and sow wickedness, reap the same

004:008

By the blast of God they perish, and by the breath of his nostrils are they consumed

004:009

The roaring of the lion, and the voice of the fierce lion, and the teeth of the young lions, are broken

004:010

The old lion perisheth for lack of prey, and the stout lion's whelps are scattered abroad

004:011

Now a thing was secretly brought to me, and mine ear received a little thereof

004:012

In thoughts from the visions of the night, when deep sleep falleth on men

004:013

Fear came upon me, and trembling, which made all my bones to shake

004:014

Then a spirit passed before my face; the hair of my flesh stood up

004:015

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

004:016

Shall mortal man be more just than God? shall a man be more pure than his maker

004:017

Behold, he put no trust in his servants; and his angels he charged with folly

004:018

How much less in them that dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, which are crushed before the moth

004:019

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

004:020

Doth not their excellency which is in them go away? they die, even without wisdom
