4 Your words have steadied those who stumbled; you have braced the knees that were buckling.
5 But now trouble has come upon you, and you are weary. It strikes you, and you are dismayed.
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?
8 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.
