| Job 4:3 | Truly, you have been a helper to others, and you have made feeble hands strong; | |||||||||||||||
| Job 4:4 | He who was near to falling has been lifted up by your words, and you have given strength to bent knees. | |||||||||||||||
| Job 4:5 | But now it has come on you and it is a weariness to you; you are touched by it and your mind is troubled. | |||||||||||||||
| Job 4:6 | Is not your fear of God your support, and your upright way of life your hope? | |||||||||||||||
| Job 4:7 | Have you ever seen destruction come to an upright man? or when were the god-fearing ever cut off? | |||||||||||||||
| Job 4:8 | What I have seen is that those by whom trouble has been ploughed, and evil planted, get the same for themselves. | |||||||||||||||
| Job 4:9 | By the breath of God destruction takes them, and by the wind of his wrath they are cut off. | |||||||||||||||

| Job 4:17 | May a man be upright before God? or a man be clean before his Maker? | |||||||||||||||
| Job 4:18 | Truly, he puts no faith in his servants, and he sees error in his angels; | |||||||||||||||
| Job 4:19 | How much more those living in houses of earth, whose bases are in the dust! They are crushed more quickly than an insect; | |||||||||||||||
| Job 4:20 | Between morning and evening they are completely broken; they come to an end for ever, and no one takes note. | |||||||||||||||
