10 The lions may roar and growl, yet the teeth of the great lions are broken.
10 The roaring of the lion, and the voice of the fierce lion, and the teeth of the young lions, are broken.
10 The roar of the lion, the voice of the fierce lion, the teeth of the young lions are broken.
10 The mighty lion, king of the beasts, roars mightily, but when he's toothless he's useless -
10 The roaring of the lion, The voice of the fierce lion, And the teeth of the young lions are broken.
10 The lion roars and the wildcat snarls, but the teeth of strong lions will be broken.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Job 4:10
Commentary on Job 4:7-11
(Read Job 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, Ecclesiastes 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.
