Job 4:16 in 6 English translations. Each links through to the full chapter for context.

New International Version (NIV)

16It stopped,

but I could not tell what it was.

A form stood before my eyes,

and I heard a hushed voice:

16“Something was standing still, but I could not recognize its appearance;

A form was before my eyes;

There was silence, then I heard a voice:

16It stood still, but I could not discern its appearance;

A form was before my eyes;

There was silence, then I heard a voice:

16“The spirit stood still, but I could not discern its appearance;

A form was before my eyes;

There was silence, and then I heard a voice, saying:

16It stood still,

but I could not discern its appearance;

a form loomed before my eyes,

and I heard a whispering voice:

16Then the spirit stopped.

But I couldn’t tell what it was.

Something stood there in front of me.

I heard a soft voice.
