Context of Job 4:5
3Behold, you have admonished and instructed many, And you have strengthened weak hands. 4Your words have helped the one who was stumbling to stand, And you have strengthened feeble knees. But now adversity comes upon you, and you are impatient and intolerant; It touches you, and you are horrified. 6Is not your fear of God your confidence, And [is not] the integrity and uprightness of your ways your hope? 7“Remember now, who, being innocent, ever perished? Or where [and in what circumstances] were those upright and in right standing with God destroyed?
