New Living Translation (NLT)
Job 3
26 I have no peace, no quietness. I have no rest; only trouble comes.”
Job 4
1 Then Eliphaz the Temanite replied to Job:
2 “Will you be patient and let me say a word? For who could keep from speaking out?
3 “In the past you have encouraged many people; you have strengthened those who were weak.
4 Your words have supported those who were falling; you encouraged those with shaky knees.
5 But now when trouble strikes, you lose heart. You are terrified when it touches you.
6 Doesn’t your reverence for God give you confidence? Doesn’t your life of integrity give you hope?
7 “Stop and think! Do the innocent die? When have the upright been destroyed?
8 My experience shows that those who plant trouble and cultivate evil will harvest the same.
9 A breath from God destroys them. They vanish in a blast of his anger.
10 The lion roars and the wildcat snarls, but the teeth of strong lions will be broken.
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
