New Testament

Job 4:5-14 New Century Version (NCV)

5. But now trouble comes to you, and you are discouraged;trouble hits you, and you are terrified.

6. You should have confidence because you respect God;you should have hope because you are innocent.

7. “Remember that the innocent will not die;honest people will never be destroyed.

8. I have noticed that people who plow eviland plant trouble, harvest it.

9. God’s breath destroys them,and a blast of his anger kills them.

10. Lions may roar and growl,but when the teeth of a strong lion are broken,

11. that lion dies of hunger.The cubs of the mother lion are scattered.

12. “A word was brought to me in secret,and my ears heard a whisper of it.

13. It was during a nightmarewhen people are in deep sleep.

14. I was trembling with fear;all my bones were shaking.
