Job 4:7-11
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
7 “Think now, who that was innocent ever perished?
Or where were the upright cut off?(A)
8 As I have seen, those who plow iniquity
and sow trouble reap the same.(B)
9 By the breath of God they perish,
and by the blast of his anger they are consumed.(C)
10 The roar of the lion, the voice of the fierce lion,
and the teeth of the young lions are broken.(D)
11 The strong lion perishes for lack of prey,
and the whelps of the lioness are scattered.(E)
Job 4:7-11
Evangelical Heritage Version
7 Now remember this:
Who has ever perished if he was innocent?
Where were the upright ever erased?
8 This is what I have observed:
Those who plow evil and sow trouble will reap the same.
9 By the breath of God they perish.
By the blast from his nostrils they come to an end.
10 The lion roars, and the fierce lion growls,
but the teeth of the young lion are broken.[a]
11 The strong lion perishes from a lack of prey,
and the cubs of the lioness are scattered.
