Context of Job 4:5

3Behold, thou hast instructed many, and thou hast strengthened the weak hands; 4Thy words have upholden him that was stumbling, and thou hast braced up the bending knees: But now it is come upon thee, and thou grievest; it toucheth thee, and thou art troubled. 6Hath not thy piety been thy confidence, and the perfection of thy ways thy hope? 7Remember, I pray thee, who that was innocent has perished? and where were the upright cut off?
