Job 4:7-11

New International Reader's Version

⁷ “Here’s something to think about.
    Have people who aren’t guilty ever been wiped out?
    Have honest people ever been completely destroyed?
⁸ Here’s what I’ve observed.
    People gather a crop from what they plant.
    If they plant evil and trouble, that’s what they will harvest.
⁹ The breath of God destroys them.
    The blast of his anger wipes them out.
¹⁰ Powerful lions might roar and growl.
    But their teeth are broken.
¹¹ Lions die because they don’t have any food.
    Then their cubs are scattered.
