Job 4:13 - Forerunner Commentary

Job 4:13

11 ^aThe old lion perishes for lack of prey,
And the cubs of the lioness are scattered.

12 “Now a word was secretly brought to me,
And my ear received a whisper of it.

13 ^aIn disquieting thoughts from the visions of the night,
When deep sleep falls on men,

14 Fear came upon me, and ^atrembling,
Which made all my bones shake.

15 Then a spirit passed before my face;
The hair on my body stood up.

16 It stood still,
But I could not discern its appearance.
A form was before my eyes;
There was silence;
Then I heard a voice saying:

17 ‘Can a mortal be more righteous than God?
Can a man be more pure than his Maker?
