Job 4:2-9
New American Standard Bible

Chapter 4

2'If one ventures a word with you, will you become impatient? But who can refrain from speaking? 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. 5But 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? 8According to what I have seen, those who plow wrongdoing And those who sow trouble harvest it. 9By the breath of God they perish, And by the blast of His anger they come to an end.
King James Version

Chapter 4

2If we assay to commune with thee, wilt thou be grieved? but who can withhold himself from speaking?
3Behold, thou hast instructed many, and thou hast strengthened the weak hands.
4Thy words have upholden him that was falling, and thou hast strengthened the feeble knees.
5But now it is come upon thee, and thou faintest; it toucheth thee, and thou art troubled.
6Is not this thy fear, thy confidence, thy hope, and the uprightness of thy ways?
7Remember, I pray thee, who ever perished, being innocent? or where were the righteous cut off?
8Even as I have seen, they that plow iniquity, and sow wickedness, reap the same.
9By the blast of God they perish, and by the breath of his nostrils are they consumed.
Christian Standard Bible

Chapter 4

2Should anyone try to speak with you when you are exhausted? Yet who can keep from speaking? 3Indeed, you have instructed many and have strengthened weak hands. 4Your words have steadied the one who was stumbling and braced the knees that were buckling. 5But now that this has happened to you, you have become exhausted. It strikes you, and you are dismayed. 6Isn’t your piety your confidence, and the integrity of your life your hope? 7Consider: Who has perished when he was innocent? Where have the honest been destroyed? 8In my experience, those who plow injustice and those who sow trouble reap the same. 9They perish at a single blast from God and come to an end by the breath of his nostrils.
New Living Translation

Chapter 4

2'Will you be patient and let me say a word? For who could keep from speaking out?
3'In the past you have encouraged many people; you have strengthened those who were weak. 4Your words have supported those who were falling; you encouraged those with shaky knees. 5But now when trouble strikes, you lose heart. You are terrified when it touches you. 6Doesn’t your reverence for God give you confidence? Doesn’t your life of integrity give you hope?
7'Stop and think! Do the innocent die? When have the upright been destroyed? 8My experience shows that those who plant trouble and cultivate evil will harvest the same. 9A breath from God destroys them. They vanish in a blast of his anger.
English Standard Version

Chapter 4

2"If one ventures a word with you, will you be impatient? Yet who can keep from speaking? 3Behold, you have instructed many, and you have strengthened the weak hands. 4Your words have upheld him who was stumbling, and you have made firm the feeble knees. 5But now it has come to you, and you are impatient; it touches you, and you are dismayed. 6 Is not your fear of God your confidence, and the integrity of your ways your hope? 7"Remember: who that was innocent ever perished? Or where were the upright cut off? 8As I have seen, those who plow iniquity and sow trouble reap the same. 9By the breath of God they perish, and by the blast of his anger they are consumed.
New International Version

Chapter 4

2"If someone ventures a word with you, will you be impatient? But who can keep from speaking? 3Think how you have instructed many, how you have strengthened feeble hands. 4Your words have supported those who stumbled; you have strengthened faltering knees. 5But now trouble comes to you, and you are discouraged; it strikes you, and you are dismayed.
6Should not your piety be your confidence and your blameless ways your hope? 7"Consider now: Who, being innocent, has ever perished? Where were the upright ever destroyed? 8As I have observed, those who plow evil and those who sow trouble reap it. 9At the breath of God they perish; at the blast of his anger they are no more.
New King James Version

Chapter 4

2“ If one attempts a word with you, will you become weary? But who can withhold himself from speaking? 3Surely you have instructed many, And you have strengthened weak hands. 4Your words have upheld him who was stumbling, And you have strengthened the feeble knees; 5But now it comes upon you, and you are weary; It touches you, and you are troubled. 6 Is not your reverence your confidence? And the integrity of your ways your hope? 7“Remember now, who ever perished being innocent? Or where were the upright ever cut off? 8Even as I have seen, Those who plow iniquity And sow trouble reap the same. 9By the blast of God they perish, And by the breath of His anger they are consumed.
