Job 4:3-9
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 4
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
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 4
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
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?English Standard Version
Chapter 4
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
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
