Job 4:1-6

Common English Bible

² If one tries to answer you, will you be annoyed?
    But who can hold words back?
³ Look, you’ve instructed many
    and given strength to drooping hands.
⁴ Your words have raised up the falling;
    you’ve steadied failing knees.
⁵ But now it comes to you, and you are dismayed;
    it has struck you, and you are frightened.
⁶ Isn’t your religion the source of^[a] your confidence;
    the integrity of your conduct, the source of your hope?
