Job 4:7-21 - Only Evil People Suffer

⁷ Remember, please, who ever perished, being innocent? Or where were the righteous cut off? ⁸ As I have seen, the ones who plow iniquity and sow wickedness reap the same. ⁹ By the blast of God they perish, and by the breath of His nostrils they are destroyed. ¹⁰ The roar of the lion, and the voice of the fierce lion, and the teeth of the young lions, are broken. ¹¹ The strong lion perishes for lack of prey, and the strong lion's cubs are scattered abroad.

¹² And a word was secretly brought to me, and my ear received a little of it. ¹³ In thoughts from the visions of the night, when deep sleep falls upon men, ¹⁴ fear came upon me, and trembling, which made all my bones shake. ¹⁵ And a spirit passed before my face; the hair of my flesh stood up. ¹⁶ It stood still, but I could not tell the form of it. An image was before my eyes; silence; then I heard a voice, ¹⁷ Shall mortal man be more just than God? Shall a man be more pure than his Maker? ¹⁸ Behold, He puts no trust in His servants, and His angels He charges with folly! ¹⁹ How much less in those who live in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, who are crushed before the moth? ²⁰ They are destroyed from morning till evening; they perish forever without anyone caring. ²¹ Is not their tent cord plucked up within them? They die, but not with wisdom.
