Job 4

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition	Peshitta
1 Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered:	1 ܘܥܢܐ ܐܠܝܦܙ ܬܝܡܢܝܐ ܘܐܡܪ
2 "If one ventures a word with you, will you be offended? Yet who can keep from speaking?	2 ܐܢ ܐܩܦ ܠܡܡܠܠܘ ܥܡܟ ܬܠܐܐ ܘܠܡܟܠܐ ܡ̈ܠܝܢ ܡܢܟ ܡܢܘ ܡܫܟܚ
3 Behold, you have instructed many, and you have strengthened the weak hands.	3 ܗܐ ܪܕܝܬ ܣ̈ܓܝܐܐ ܘܐ̈ܝܕܝܐ ܕܡܪ̈ܦܝܢ ܬܚܝܠ
4 Your words have upheld him who was stumbling, and you have made firm the feeble knees.	4 ܟܪ̈ܝܗܐ ܠܐ ܢܩܝܡܘܢ ܡ̈ܠܝܟ ܘܒܘܪ̈ܟܐ ܪ̈ܥܠܬܐ ܬܚܝܠ
5 But now it has come to you, and you are impatient; it touches you, and you are dismayed.	5 ܡܛܠ ܕܗܫܐ ܐܬܬ ܥܠܝܟ ܘܠܐܝܬ ܘܡܛܬ ܠܘܬܟ ܘܐܬܒܠܗܝܬ
6 Is not your fear of God your confidence, and the integrity of your ways your hope?	6 ܗܐ ܕܚܠܬܟ ܗ̣ܝ ܗܝ ܥܕܠܝܟ ܘܣܒܪܟ ܘܬܡܝܡܘܬ ܐܘܪܚܟ
7 "Think now, who that was innocent ever perished? Or where were the upright cut off?	7 ܐܬܕܟܪ ܢܐ ܡܢܘ ܙܟܝܐ ܕܐܒܕ ܘܐܝܟܘ ܬܪܝܨܐ ܕܒܗܬ
8 As I have seen, those who plow iniquity and sow trouble reap the same.	8 ܐܝܟ ܡܐ ܕܚܙܝܬ ܕܪܕܝܢ ܒܚܛܐ ܘܙܪܥܝܢ ܥܡܠܐ ܢܚܨܕܘܢܗ
9 By the breath of God they perish, and by the blast of his anger they are consumed.	9 ܘܡܢ ܢܫܡܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܢܐܒܕܘܢ ܘܡܢ ܪܘܚܐ ܕܪܘܓܙܗ ܢܣܘܦܘܢ
10 The roar of the lion, the voice of the fierce lion, the teeth of the young lions, are broken.	10 ܢܗܡܬܐ ܕܐܪܝܐ ܘܩܠܐ ܕܓܘܪܝܐ ܕܐܪܝܐ ܘܫ̈ܢܐ ܕܐܪ̈ܝܘܬܐ ܐܬܬܒܪ
11 The strong lion perishes for lack of prey, and the whelps of the lioness are scattered.	11 ܐܪܝܐ ܐܒܕ ܡܢ ܒܠܝ ܕܠܝܬ ܠܗ ܬܒܪܐ ܘܒܢ̈ܝ ܐܪ̈ܝܘܬܐ ܐܬܒܕܪܘ
12 "Now a word was brought to me stealthily, my ear received the whisper of it.	12 ܘܥܠܝ ܦܬܓܡܐ ܐܬܓܝܒ ܘܩ̇ܒܠܬ ܐܕܢܝ ܐܝܟ ܙܥܘܪ ܡܢܗ
13 Amid thoughts from visions of the night, when deep sleep falls on men,	13 ܒܫܠܝܐ ܒܚܙܘܐ ܕܠܠܝܐ ܒܡܦܠ ܫܢܐ ܥܡܝܩܐ ܥܠ ܐܢܫܐ
14 dread came upon me, and trembling, which made all my bones shake.	14 ܕܚܠܬܐ ܩܪܬܢܝ ܘܙܘܥܬܐ ܘܣܘܓܐܐ ܕܓܪ̈ܡܝ ܐܬܬܙܝܥܘ
15 A spirit glided past my face; the hair of my flesh stood up.	15 ܘܪܘܚܐ ܥܠ ܐ̈ܦܝ ܐܥܒܪ ܘܐܙܕܩܦܬ ܣܥܪܬܐ ܕܒܣܪܝ
16 It stood still, but I could not discern its appearance. A form was before my eyes; there was silence, then I heard a voice:	16 ܘܩܡܬ ܘܠܐ ܐܫܬܘܕܥܬ ܘܠܝܬ ܚܙܬܐ ܠܘܩܒܠ ܥܝܢ̈ܝ ܘܢܥܡܬܐ ܘܩܠܐ ܫܡܥܬ ܕܐ̇ܡܪ
17 'Can mortal man be righteous before God? Can a man be pure before his Maker?	17 ܐܢܫܐ ܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܢܙܕܕܩ ܐܘ ܡܢ ܥܒܘܕܗ ܡܬܕܟܐ ܓܒܪܐ
18 Even in his servants he puts no trust, and his angels he charges with error;	18 ܗܐ ܒܥܒ̈ܕܘܗܝ ܠܐ ܡܗܝܡܢ ܘܒܡܠܐ̈ܟܘܗܝ ܢܣܝܡ ܬܡܗܐ
19 how much more those who dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, who are crushed before the moth.	19 ܐܦ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܫܪܝܢ ܒܒ̈ܬܐ ܕܛܝܢܐ ܕܒܥܦܪܐ ܡܫܟܠܠܝܢ ܢܬܡܟܟܘܢ ܩܕܡ ܥܪܦܠܐ
20 Between morning and evening they are destroyed; they perish for ever without any regarding it.	20 ܡܢ ܨܦܪܐ ܠܪܡܫܐ ܢܬܡܟܟܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܢܬܬܣܝܡܘܢ ܥܡܘܪ̈ܝܢ ܠܥܠܡ ܘܢܐܒܕܘܢ
21 If their tent-cord is plucked up within them, do they not die, and that without wisdom?'	21 ܗܐ ܫܩܠ ܝܘܪܬܢܗܘܢ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܘܫܪܟܗܘܢ ܒܗܘܢ ܢܡܘܬܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܒܚܟܡܬܐ
