Job 4:7-21 - Only Evil People Suffer

⁷ Remember, I pray thee, who, being innocent, hath perished, or when, the upright, have been cut off. ⁸ So far as I have seen, They who plow for iniquity and sow misery, reap the same: ⁹ By the blast of GOD, they perish, And, by the breath of his nostrils, are they consumed: ¹⁰ Notwithstanding the roaring of the lion, and the noise of the howling lion, yet, the teeth of the fierce lions, are broken: ¹¹ The strong lion perishing for lack of prey, Even the whelps of the lioness, are scattered.

¹² But, unto me, something was brought by stealth, - and mine ear caught a whispering of the same: ¹³ When there were thoughts, from visions of the night, - When deep sleep falleth upon men, ¹⁴ Dread, came upon me, and trembling, The multitude of my bones, it put in dread: ¹⁵ Then, a spirit, over my face, floated along, The hair of my flesh bristled-up: ¹⁶ It stood still, but I could not distinguish its appearance, I looked, but there was no form before mine eyes, - A whispering voice, I heard: - - ¹⁷ Shall, mortal man, be more just than GOD? Or a man be more pure than, his Maker? ¹⁸ Lo! in his own servants, he trusteth not, and, his own messengers, he chargeth with error: ¹⁹ How much more the dwellers in houses of clay, which, in the dust, have their foundation, which are crushed sooner than a moth: ²⁰ Betwixt morning and evening, are they broken in pieces, With none to save, they utterly perish: ²¹ Is not their tent-rope within them, torn away? They die, disrobed of wisdom!
