Context of Job 4:5
3Behold, you have taught many, And you have strengthened weak hands. 4Your words have helped the stumbling to stand, And you have strengthened feeble knees. But now it comes to you, and you are impatient; It touches you, and you are horrified. 6Is your fear of God not your confidence, And the integrity of your ways your hope? 7“Remember now, who ever perished being innocent? Or where were the upright destroyed?
