6 Isn’t your religion the source of your confidence;the integrity of your conduct, the source of your hope?
7 Think! What innocent person has ever perished?When have those who do the right thing been destroyed?
8 As I’ve observed, those who plow sinand sow trouble will harvest it.
9 When God breathes deeply, they perish;by a breath of his nostril they are annihilated.
10 The roar of a lion and snarl of the king of beasts—yet the teeth of lions are shattered;
11 the lion perishes without prey,and its cubs are scattered.
12 But a word sneaked up on me;my ears caught a hint of it.
