Job 4:8-11
In my experience, those who plow injustice and those who sow trouble reap the same.They perish at a single blast from God and come to an end by the breath of his nostrils.The lion may roar and the fierce lion growl, but the teeth of young lions are broken.The strong lion dies if it catches no prey, and the cubs of the lioness are scattered.

Job 15:20-35
A wicked person writhes in pain all his days, throughout the number of years reserved for the ruthless.Dreadful sounds fill his ears; when he is at peace, a robber attacks him.He doesn’t believe he will return from darkness; he is destined for the sword.He wanders about for food, asking,“ Where is it?” He knows the day of darkness is at hand.Trouble and distress terrify him, overwhelming him like a king prepared for battle.For he has stretched out his hand against God and has arrogantly opposed the Almighty.He rushes headlong at him with his thick, studded shields.Though his face is covered with fat and his waistline bulges with it,he will dwell in ruined cities, in abandoned houses destined to become piles of rubble.He will no longer be rich; his wealth will not endure. His possessions will not increase in the land.He will not escape from the darkness; flames will wither his shoots, and by the breath of God’s mouth, he will depart.Let him not put trust in worthless things, being led astray, for what he gets in exchange will prove worthless.It will be accomplished before his time, and his branch will not flourish.He will be like a vine that drops its unripe grapes and like an olive tree that sheds its blossoms.For the company of the godless will have no children, and fire will consume the tents of those who offer bribes.They conceive trouble and give birth to evil; their womb prepares deception.

Job 5:3-5
I have seen a fool taking root, but I immediately pronounced a curse on his home.His children are far from safety. They are crushed at the city gate, with no one to rescue them.The hungry consume his harvest, even taking it out of the thorns. The thirsty pant for his children’s wealth.

Job 8:3-6
Does God pervert justice? Does the Almighty pervert what is right?Since your children sinned against him, he gave them over to their rebellion.But if you earnestly seek God and ask the Almighty for mercy,if you are pure and upright, then he will move even now on your behalf and restore the home where your righteousness dwells.
