LUT Da stund ein Bild vor meinen Augen, und ich kannte seine Gestalt nicht; es war stille, und ich hörete eine Stimme:
(So stood a Bild before/in_front_of my Augen, and I kannte his Gestalt nicht; it was stille, and I listente one Stimme:)
CLV Stetit quidam, cujus non agnoscebam vultum, imago coram oculis meis, et vocem quasi auræ lenis audivi.[fn]
(Stetit quidam, cuyus not/no agnoscebam vultum, imago coram oculis meis, and vocem as_if auræ lenis audivi.)
4.16 Stetit quidam. Ibid. Ut incomprehensibilia se novisse judicent, etc., usque ad quia bonum commune specialiter sibi arrogavit. Inhorruerunt pili carnis meæ. Ibid. Pili sunt superflua quælibet humanæ corruptionis cogitationes vitæ veteris: quas si a mente excludimus, pilos carne incidimus, ut non dolore fatigemur. Unde Moyses: Levitæ radant omnes pilos carnis suæ Levit. 14.. Hæc autem subtilius in nobis conspicimus, cum alta penetramus, unde recte nunc dicitur: Cum spiritus transiret. Cum enim mens vera videt, durius se de superfluis cruciat. Transeunte ergo spiritu, pili pertimescunt, quia ante vim compunctionis superfluæ cogitationes fugiunt, quia intima visio animam contra se inflammat; et dum illicita districte resecat, mens latius speculationi inhæret, et bene figit spiritum qui transibat, nec tamen hæc ipsa mora contemplationis vim pietatis plene aperit, unde subdit: Stetit quidam cujus non agnoscebam vultum. Ibid. Quidam non dicitur, etc., usque ad per coæternam ejus speciem conspicit, subdit: Imago coram oculis me. Imago Patris Filius est, qui dicit: Nemo venit ad Patrem, nisi per me. Et vocem quasi auræ lenis audivi. Ibid. Vox auræ, cognitio, etc., usque ad qui ex hoc auditu, didicit.

BrLXX Ἀνέστην καὶ οὐκ ἐπέγνων, εἶδον καὶ οὐκ ἦν μορφὴ πρὸ ὀφθαλμῶν μου, ἀλλʼ ἢ αὖραν καὶ φωνὴν ἤκουον.
(Anestaʸn kai ouk epegnōn, eidon kai ouk aʸn morfaʸ pro ofthalmōn mou, allʼ aʸ auran kai fōnaʸn aʸkouon. )
4:12-16 Eliphaz posed as a prophet, implying that God spoke to him in secret (Num 12:6); later God did speak to him, but not to affirm his counsel (Job 42:7).
