Context of Job 4:5
3Behold, thou hast instructed many, And thou hast strengthened the weak hands. 4Thy words have upholden him that was falling, And thou hast made firm the feeble knees. But now it is come unto thee, and thou faintest; It toucheth thee, and thou art troubled. 6Is not thy fear of God thy confidence, Andthe integrity of thy ways thy hope? 7Remember, I pray thee, who ever perished, being innocent? Or where were the upright cut off?
