Job 4:6 - Forerunner Commentary

Job 4:6

Compare all

4 Your words have upheld him who was stumbling,
And you ^ahave strengthened the feeble knees;

5 But now it comes upon you, and you are weary;
It touches you, and you are troubled.

6 Is not ^ayour reverence ^byour confidence?
And the integrity of your ways your hope?

7 “Remember now, ^awho ever perished being innocent?
Or where were the upright ever cut off?

8 Even as I have seen,
^aThose who plow iniquity
And sow trouble reap the same.

9 By the blast of God they perish,
And by the breath of His anger they are consumed.

10 The roaring of the lion,
The voice of the fierce lion,
And ^athe teeth of the young lions are broken.
