  • Job 4:8-9 : 8 As I have seen, those who plow iniquity and 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 roar of the lion, the growl of the fierce lion, and the teeth of the young lions are shattered. 11 The old lion perishes for lack of prey, and the cubs of the lioness are scattered.
  • Job 5:3-5 : 3 I have seen a fool taking root, but suddenly I cursed his home. 4 His children are far from safety; they are crushed at the gate with no one to deliver them. 5 The hungry devour his harvest, even taking it from among thorns; the thirsty swallow his wealth.
  • Job 8:3-6 : 3 Does God pervert justice? Does the Almighty distort what is right? 4 If your children have sinned against Him, He gave them over to the consequences of their transgressions. 5 But if you earnestly seek God and plead for mercy from the Almighty, 6 if you are pure and upright, surely now He will rouse Himself on your behalf and restore your righteous dwelling.
  • Job 15:20-35 : 20 All the days of the wicked man he writhes in pain, and the years allotted to the ruthless are hidden away. 21 Terrifying sounds are in his ears; in prosperity, the destroyer will come upon him. 22 He does not believe he will return from the darkness; he is marked for the sword. 23 He wanders about for food, asking, 'Where is it?' He knows that the day of darkness is ready at hand. 24 Distress and anguish terrify him; they overpower him like a king prepared for battle. 25 For he has stretched out his hand against God and boasts arrogantly against the Almighty. 26 He rushes against Him defiantly, with a sturdy shield for the thickness of his defense. 27 Though he has covered his face with fat and clothed his waist with layers of flesh, 28 he will dwell in desolated cities, in houses no one inhabits, destined to become ruins. 29 He will no longer be rich, and his wealth will not endure, nor will his possessions spread out across the land. 30 He will not escape from darkness; a flame will dry up his branch, and the breath of God's mouth will carry him away. 31 Let him not trust in worthlessness, deceiving himself, for worthlessness will be his reward. 32 It will be fulfilled before his time, and his branch will not remain green. 33 He will shake off his unripe grapes like a vine and cast away his blossoms like the olive tree. 34 For the company of the godless is barren, and fire consumes the tents of bribery. 35 They conceive trouble and give birth to wickedness; their womb prepares deceit.
