Job 4:7-11
English Standard Version
7 “Remember: (A)who that was innocent ever perished?
Or where were the upright cut off?
8 As I have seen, those who (B)plow iniquity
and sow trouble reap the same.
9 By (C)the breath of God they perish,
and by (D)the blast of his anger they are consumed.
10 The roar of the lion, the voice of the fierce lion,
(E)the teeth of the young lions are broken.
11 The strong lion perishes for lack of prey,
and the cubs of the lioness are scattered.
Job 4:7-11
International Standard Version
7 Now please think:
Who has ever perished when they’re innocent?
Where have the upright been destroyed?
8 It’s been my experience that those who plow the soil of[a] iniquity
and those who sow the seed of[b] trouble will reap their harvest![c]
9 They perish by the breath of God;
they are consumed by the storm that is[d] his anger.[e]
10 “The lioness may roar,
and the lion cub may growl;
but even the ivory teeth of the full grown lion are broken.
11 Full grown lions die when they cannot find prey;
that’s when the lion cubs are scattered.
