Job - 4:10 Meaning

“The roaring of the lion, and the voice of the fierce lion, and the teeth of the young lions, are broken.”

King James Version (KJV)

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

4:7-11 Eliphaz argues, 1. That good men were never thus ruined. But there is one event both to the righteous and to the wicked, Ec 9:2, both in life and death; the great and certain difference is after death. Our worst mistakes are occasioned by drawing wrong views from undeniable truths. 2. That wicked men were often thus ruined: for the proof of this, Eliphaz vouches his own observation. We may see the same every day.

“He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack: but he that hideth his eyes shall have many a curse.”
