5 But now trouble comes to you, and you are discouraged. Trouble hits you, and you are upset.
6 You worship God. You trust him. You are a good man, so let that be your hope.
7 Can you think of any innocent person who was ever destroyed? Do you know of any place where good people are punished?
8 Yes, I have seen people whose lives were cut short, but they were evil troublemakers.
9 They lost the breath God gave them. They were cut off from his breath of life.
10 They were like roaring lions, like growling lions with broken teeth—
11 like a lioness that cannot find prey. They died, and their cubs starved to death.
