Douay Bible - Job Chapter 4

Job 4:1
Then Eliphaz the Themanite answered, and said:

Job 4:2
If we begin to speak to thee, perhaps thou wilt take it ill, but who can withhold the words he hath conceived?

Job 4:3
Behold thou hast taught many, and thou hast strengthened the weary hands:

Job 4:4
Thy words have confirmed them that were staggering, and thou hast strengthened the trembling knees:

Job 4:5
But now the scourge is come upon thee, and thou faintest: it hath touched thee, and thou art troubled.

Job 4:6
Where is thy fear, thy fortitude, thy patience, and the perfection of thy ways?

Job 4:7
Remember, I pray thee, who ever perished being innocent? or when were the just destroyed?

Job 4:8
On the contrary I have seen those who work iniquity, and sow sorrows, and reap them,

Job 4:9
Perishing by the blast of God, and consumed by the spirit of his wrath.

Job 4:10
The roaring of the lion, and the voice of the lioness, and the teeth of the whelps of lions are broken:

Job 4:11
The tiger hath perished for want of prey, and the young lions are scattered abroad.

Job 4:12
Now there was a word spoken to me in private, and my ears by stealth as it were received the veins of its whisper.

Job 4:13
In the horror of a vision by night, when deep sleep is wont to hold men,

Job 4:14
Fear seized upon me, and trembling, and all my bones were affrighted:

Job 4:15
And when a spirit passed before me, the hair of my flesh stood up.

Job 4:16
There stood one whose countenance I knew not, an image before my eyes, and I heard the voice as it were of a gentle wind:

Job 4:17
Shall man be justified in comparison of God, or shall a man be more pure than his maker?

Job 4:18
Behold they that serve him are not steadfast, and in his angels he found wickedness:

Job 4:19
How much more shall they that dwell in houses of clay, who have an earthly foundation, be consumed as with the moth?

Job 4:20
From morning till evening they shall be cut down: and because no one understandeth, they shall perish for ever.

Job 4:21
And they that shall be left, shall be taken away from them: they shall die, and not in wisdom.

Introduction to the Douay-Rheims Bible

The Douay-Rheims Bible is an English translation of the Latin Vulgate, a 4th-century Latin translation of the Bible. It was published in the late 16th and early 17th centuries for English-speaking Catholics. The New Testament was published in 1582 and the Old Testament in 1609-10. It is considered one of the most influential English Bibles of the time. The Douay-Rheims Bible differs from other versions in several ways: Translation source: Unlike many other English Bibles that were translated from the original Greek and Hebrew texts, the Douay-Rheims was translated from the Latin Vulgate, which was the standard version of the Bible for the Catholic Church for many centuries. Language: The Douay-Rheims uses an archaic form of English, making it difficult for modern readers to understand. Theology: The Douay-Rheims reflects the theology of the Catholic Church, including its views on the authority of the Pope and the sacraments. Footnotes and commentary: The Douay-Rhe
