Job 4:3-9
New American Standard Bible

3 Behold, (A)you have taught many,
And you have strengthened weak hands.
4 Your words have helped the stumbling to stand,
And you have strengthened [a]feeble knees.
5 But now it comes to you, and you (B)are impatient;
It (C)touches you, and you are horrified.
6 Is your [b](D)fear of God not (E)your confidence,
And the integrity of your ways your hope?

7 “Remember now, (F)who ever perished being innocent?
Or where were the upright destroyed?
8 According to what I have seen, (G)those who [c]plow wrongdoing
And those who sow trouble harvest it.
9 By (H)the breath of God they perish,
And (I)by the [d]blast of His anger they come to an end.

Job 4:3-9
New International Version

3 Think how you have instructed many,(A)
    how you have strengthened feeble hands.(B)
4 Your words have supported those who stumbled;(C)
    you have strengthened faltering knees.(D)
5 But now trouble comes to you, and you are discouraged;(E)
    it strikes(F) you, and you are dismayed.(G)
6 Should not your piety be your confidence(H)
    and your blameless(I) ways your hope?

7 “Consider now: Who, being innocent, has ever perished?(J)
    Where were the upright ever destroyed?(K)
8 As I have observed,(L) those who plow evil(M)
    and those who sow trouble reap it.(N)
9 At the breath of God(O) they perish;
    at the blast of his anger they are no more.(P)
