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)
