Job 4:9-11
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
9 By the breath of God they perish,(A)
and by the blast of his wrath they are consumed.
10 Though the lion[a] roars, though the king of beasts cries out,
yet the teeth of the young lions are broken;
11 The old lion perishes for lack of prey,
and the cubs of the lioness are scattered.
