Job 4:1–21 NASB 2020

Then Eliphaz the Temanite responded, “If one ventures a word with you, will you become impatient? But who can refrain from speaking? “Behold, you have taught many, And you have strengthened weak hands. “Your words have helped the stumbling to stand, And you have strengthened feeble knees. “But now it comes to you, and you are impatient; It touches you, and you are horrified. “Is your fear of God not your confidence, And the integrity of your ways your hope? “Remember now, who ever perished being innocent? Or where were the upright destroyed? “According to what I have seen, those who plow wrongdoing And those who sow trouble harvest it. “By the breath of God they perish, And by the blast of His anger they come to an end. “The roaring of the lion and the voice of the fierce lion, And the teeth of the young lions are broken out. “The lion perishes for lack of prey, And the cubs of the lioness are scattered. “Now a word was brought to me secretly, And my ear received a whisper of it. “Amid disquieting thoughts from visions of the night, When deep sleep falls on people, Dread came upon me, and trembling, And made all my bones shake. “Then a spirit passed by my face; The hair of my flesh stood up. “Something was standing still, but I could not recognize its appearance; A form was before my eyes; There was silence, then I heard a voice: ‘Can mankind be righteous before God? Can a man be pure before his Maker? ‘He puts no trust even in His servants; And He accuses His angels of error. ‘How much more those who live in houses of clay, Whose foundation is in the dust, Who are crushed before the moth! ‘Between morning and evening they are broken in pieces; Unregarded, they perish forever. ‘Is their tent-cord not pulled out within them? They die, yet without wisdom.’

4 Then a Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,

2 If we assay † to commune with thee, wilt thou b be grieved?

But † who can withhold himself from speaking?

3 Behold, thou hast instructed many,

And thou c hast strengthened the weak hands.

4 Thy words have upholden c him that was falling,

And thou d hast strengthened † the feeble knees.

5 But now it is come upon thee, and thou b faintest;

It toucheth thee, and thou art troubled.

6 Is not this e thy fear, thy f confidence,

Thy hope, and e the uprightness of thy ways?

7 Remember, I pray thee, who ever perished, being innocent?

Or where were the righteous cut off?

8 Even as I have seen, g they that plow iniquity,

And sow h wickedness, reap the same.

9 By the blast of God they perish,

And || by the breath of his nostrils are they consumed.

10 The roaring of the lion, and the voice of the hh fierce lion,

And the teeth of the i young lions, are broken.

11 The old lion j perisheth for lack of prey,

And the stout lion’s whelps k are scattered abroad.

12 Now a thing was † secretly brought to me,

And mine ear received l a little thereof.

13 In m thoughts from the visions of the night,

When n deep sleep falleth on men,

14 Fear † came upon me, and o trembling,

Which made † all my bones to shake.

15 Then p a spirit passed before my face;

The hair of my flesh q stood up:

16 It stood still, but I could not discern the form thereof:

r An image was before mine eyes,

|| There was silence, and I heard a voice, saying,

17 s Shall mortal man be more just than God?

Shall a man be more pure than his maker?

18 Behold, he t put no trust in his servants;

|| And his angels u he charged with folly:

19 x How much less in them that dwell in y houses of clay,

Whose foundation is in z the dust,

Which are crushed before a the moth?

20 b They are † destroyed from morning to evening:

They perish for ever without any c regarding it.

21 d Doth not their excellency which is in them go away?

e They die, even without wisdom.1

Revelation From God

Author

The author of the Job in unknown, there are those that believe Moses penned it, or possible Elihu the forth friend of Job. As the language and possible date of the writing leads to Abraham time frame, the author could be Enoch.

Date

The book of Job is one of the earliest known writings, dating to an Abraham time frame. Job’s wealth is measure in live stock as was Abraham, Issac and Jacob. The Hebrew word for Almighty, Shaddai, is used for YHWH throughout the book of Job, which is only otherwise found in Genesis and the Book of Enoch, thus placing the writing in same time frame as Enoch and Genesis.

History

The Book of Job is set in the Abraham time frame as Job's wealth is measured in livestock (Job_1:3; Job_42:12), the same way Abraham and Jacob's wealth are measured (Gen_12:16; Gen_13:2; Gen_30:43; Gen_32:5). (2) The Sabeans and Chaldeans are portrayed as nomadic marauders (Job_1:15, Job_1:17), indicating an early date. (3) The Hebrew word for piece of silver in Job (Job_42:11) is otherwise found only in conjunction with the patriarch Jacob (Gen_33:19; Jos_24:32). (4) Without a priesthood or a sanctuary, Job offered sacrifices to God in a patriarchal fashion (Job_1:5). (5) Job's longevity is consistent with the life spans of the patriarchs (Job_42:16). (6) The preference in the poetic sections of the book for the divine name Shaddai over the divine name Yahweh may indicate a period before the Exodus (Exo_3:14-15). The text indicates that the events of Job occurred in the land of Uz (Job_1:1), but the location of Uz is unknown. That Job was the greatest among the people of the East (Job_1:3) indicates that Job lived east of the Jordan River. Some have concluded that Uz was located in Syria or northwest Mesopotamia. However, most writers think Uz was located near Edom, because many of the proper names in the Book of Job occur in the genealogy of Esau, the father of the Edomites (Gen. 36).1

Theology/Purpose

The Theology of Job is to declare YHWH as Lord God almighty. That we need to trust in the ways of YHWH and not man, 2 Ki 18:1-37, 2 Mac 8:18-20, 2 Mac 15:1-39, Psa 37:3, Psa 56:4, Psa 118:8-9, Prov 3:5-6, Mat 19:26, Mark 9:23, Luk 1:37!!!!

Exegesis / Hermeneutical

You reap what you sow, Job 4:1-21 :

Pericope, (Theological Idea), YHWH the Father, YHWH Ab, Deut 4:32-40, Deut 5:6-15, Deut 6:4-8, Deut 10:14-17, Deut 32:39-40!!!!

Job 4:1-11 : Eliphaz is trying to inform Job that he is wicked and has done wicked things for he is reaping what he sowed, Job 4:1-11, Prov 11:18, Prov 22:8, 2 Cor 9:6, Gal 6:7-8, Eliphaz is making an assumption.

Job 4:12-19 : Next Eliphaz is telling Job that he placed himself above YHWH, therefore Job is receiving the wrath of YHWH, Deut 8:5, 1 Sa 4:1-22, 2 Ki 21:10-18, 2 Ki 22:14-17, 2 Ki 25:1-21, Enoch 54:1–10, 54:7–55:2, Enoch 61:5, Enoch 62:2–4, Enoch 62:10–12, Enoch 80:2–8, Enoch 94:6–11, Enoch 98:1–16, Judith 2:1-28, Joh 3:18, Joh 3:36, Heb 12:5-8, Rev 2:11-17, Rev 3:19, again Eliphaz is making an assumption.

Job 4:20-21 : Lastly, Eliphaz is telling Job that he is walking in ignorance because if Job would Declare YHWH as Lord Exo 20:1-21, Deut 6:4-8, Enoch 99:10, Tobit 13:4, Tobit 13:15, Judith 6:2, John 3:15-18, John 3:36, Rom 10:9-10 YHWH would fill Job with Wisdom, Understanding, Knowledge in all manner of workmanship, Enoch 14:1–25, Enoch 16:1–4, Enoch 32:1–6, Enoch 33:1–4, Enoch 37:1–5, Enoch 48:1, Enoch 49:3, Enoch 61:8–9, Enoch 61:6–7, Enoch 80:1, Enoch 91:1, Enoch 101:8, Enoch 104:10–13, Enoch 105:1–2, Exo 31:3, Exo35:31, 1 Es 4:59-60, 2 Es 13:52-58, 2 Es 14:38-48, Judith 11:1-23, 2 Mac 2:9, Job 4:20-21, Wis 3:9, Wis 6:17-20, Wis 7:22-30, Isa 11:2, Eze 37:14, Col 1:9!!!! Yet another Assumption.

Conclusion
