Job 4:7-14 English Standard Version (ESV)

7. “Remember: who that was innocent ever perished?Or where were the upright cut off?

8. As I have seen, those who plow iniquityand sow trouble reap the same.

9. By the breath of God they perish,and by the blast of his anger they are consumed.

10. The roar of the lion, the voice of the fierce lion, 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.

12. “Now a word was brought to me stealthily;my ear received the whisper of it.

13. Amid thoughts from visions of the night,when deep sleep falls on men,

14. dread came upon me, and trembling,which made all my bones shake.
