Job 4:7-11
Lexham English Bible
7 “Think[a] now, who has perished who is innocent?
Or[b] where are the upright destroyed?
8 Just as I have seen, plowers of mischief
and sowers of trouble will reap it.
9 By[c] the breath of God they perish,
and by[d] the blast of his anger they come to an end.
10 The roar of the lion and the voice of a lion in its prime,
and the teeth of the young lions are broken.
11 The lion is perishing without[e] prey,
and the lion’s whelps are scattered.
Job 4:7-11

and come to an end by the breath of his nostrils.(E)

and the cubs of the lioness are scattered.(H)
