Job 4:9-17 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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:

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