Consider: Who has perished when he was innocent?
Where have the honest[a] been destroyed?(A)
In my experience, those who plow injustice
and those who sow trouble(B) reap the same.(C)
They perish at a single blast(D) from God
and come to an end by the breath of his nostrils.(E)
10 The lion may roar and the fierce lion(F) growl,
but the teeth of young lions are broken.(G)
11 The strong lion dies if it catches no prey,
and the cubs of the lioness are scattered.(H)

  1. 4:7 Or the upright, or those with integrity

“Remember now, (A)who ever perished being innocent?
Or where were the upright destroyed?
According to what I have seen, (B)those who [a]plow wrongdoing
And those who sow trouble harvest it.
By (C)the breath of God they perish,
And (D)by the [b]blast of His anger they come to an end.
10 The (E)roaring of the lion and the voice of the fierce lion,
And the teeth of the young lions are broken out.
11 The (F)lion perishes for lack of prey,
And the (G)cubs of the lioness are scattered.
