Job 4:10

New Century Version

Lions may roar and growl, but when the teeth of a strong lion are broken,

See the chapter Copy

God, break the teeth in their mouths! Tear out the fangs of those lions, Lord!

Some people have teeth like swords; their jaws seem full of knives. They want to remove the poor from the earth and the needy from the land.

Enemies, like lions, are all around me; I must lie down among them. Their teeth are like spears and arrows, their tongues as sharp as swords.

Lord, rise up! My God, come save me! You have struck my enemies on the cheek; you have broken the teeth of the wicked.

I broke the fangs of evil people and snatched the captives from their teeth.

God saves the needy from their lies and from the harm done by powerful people.

Let them disappear like water that flows away. Let them be cut short like a broken arrow.
