Sermons citing Job 4

^4:3 Surely you have instructed many, and have strengthened their feeble hands.

^4:4 Your words have steadied those who stumbled; you have braced the knees that were buckling.

^4:5 But now trouble has come upon you, and you are weary. It strikes you, and you are dismayed.

^4:6 Is your reverence not your confidence, and the uprightness of your ways your hope?

^4:7 Consider now, I plead: Who, being innocent, has ever perished? Or where have the upright been destroyed?

^4:8 As I have observed, those who plow iniquity and those who sow trouble reap the same.

^4:9 By the breath of God they perish, and by the blast of His anger they are consumed.

^4:10 The lion may roar, and the fierce lion may growl, yet the teeth of the young lions are broken.

^4:11 The old lion perishes for lack of prey, and the cubs of the lioness are scattered.

^4:12 Now a word came to me secretly; my ears caught a whisper of it.

^4:13 In disquieting visions in the night, when deep sleep falls on men,

^4:14 fear and trembling came over me and made all my bones shudder.

^4:15 Then a spirit glided past my face, and the hair on my body bristled.

^4:16 It stood still, but I could not discern its appearance; a form loomed before my eyes, and I heard a whispering voice:

^4:17 ‘Can a mortal be more righteous than God, or a man more pure than his Maker?

^4:18 If God puts no trust in His servants, and He charges His angels with error,

^4:19 how much more those who dwell in houses of clay, whose foundations are in the dust, who can be crushed like a moth!

^4:20 They are smashed to pieces from dawn to dusk; unnoticed, they perish forever.

^4:21 Are not their tent cords pulled up, so that they die without wisdom?’
