Job 4:7-21

7“RememberH2142 nowH4994, 1whoH4310 ever perishedH6 being innocentH5355? Or whereH375 were the uprightH3477 destroyedH3582?8According to whatH834 I have seenH7200, 2those who plowH2790 iniquityH205 And those who sowH2232 troubleH5999 harvestH7114 it.9By 3the breathH5397 of GodH433 they perishH6, And 4by the 5blastH7307 of His angerH639 they comeH3615 to an endH3615.10The 6roaringH7581 of the lionH743 and the voiceH6963 of the fierce lionH7826, And the teethH8127 of the youngH3715 lionsH3715 are brokenH5421.11The 7lionH3918 perishesH6 for lackH1097 of preyH2964, And the 8whelpsH1121 of the lionessH3833 are scatteredH6504.

12“Now a wordH1697 9was broughtH1589 to me stealthilyH1589, And my earH241 receivedH3947 a 10whisperH8102 of it.13Amid disquietingH8174 11thoughtsH8174 from the visionsH2384 of the nightH3915, When deepH8639 sleepH8639 fallsH5307 on menH376,14DreadH6343 cameH7122 upon me, and tremblingH7461, And made 12allH7230 my bonesH6106 shakeH6342.15Then a 13spiritH7307 passedH2498 by my faceH6440; The hairH8185 of my fleshH1320 bristledH5568 up.16It stoodH5975 stillH5975, but I could not discernH5234 its appearanceH4758; A formH8544 was beforeH5048 my eyesH5869; There was silenceH1827, then I heardH8085 a voiceH6963:17‘Can 14mankindH582 be justH6663 15beforeH4480 GodH433? Can a manH1397 be pureH2891 16beforeH4480 his 17MakerH6213?1818He putsH539 noH3808 trustH539 evenH2005 in His servantsH5650; And against His angelsH4397 He chargesH7760 errorH8417.19HowH637 muchH637 moreH637 those who dwellH7931 in 19housesH1004 of clayH2563, WhoseH834 20foundationH3247 is in the dustH6083, Who are crushedH1792 beforeH6440 the mothH6211!2021BetweenH4480 morningH1242 and eveningH6153 they are brokenH3807 in piecesH3807; UnobservedH1097H7760, they 22perishH6 foreverH5331.21Is not their 23tent-cordH3499 pluckedH5265 up within them? They dieH4191, yet 24withoutH3808 wisdomH2451.’
