Job 4:8

⁶ Is your reverence not your confidence, and the uprightness of your ways your hope?

⁷ Consider now, I plead: Who, being innocent, has ever perished? Or where have the upright been destroyed?

As I have observed, those who plow iniquity and those who sow trouble reap the same.

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

¹⁰ The lion may roar, and the fierce lion may growl, yet the teeth of the young lions are broken.
