Eliphaz’s Mystical Revelation

Job 4:12-21

But a thing was brought to me secretly, and mine eare hath receiued a litle thereof.

In the thoughtes of ye visions of the night, when sleepe falleth on men,

Feare came vpon me, and dread which made all my bones to tremble.

And the wind passed before me, and made the heares of my flesh to stande vp.

Then stoode one, and I knewe not his face: an image was before mine eyes, and in silence heard I a voyce, saying,

Shall man be more iust then God? or shall a man be more pure then his maker?

Beholde, he founde no stedfastnesse in his Seruants, and laid follie vpon his Angels.

Howe much more in them that dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, which shalbe destroyed before the moth?

They be destroyed from the morning vnto the euening: they perish for euer, without regarde.

Doeth not their dignitie goe away with them? do they not die, and that without wisdom?
