Job 4:7

¶ Remember, I pray thee, who [ever] perished, being innocent? or where were the righteous cut off?

Remember {H2142}, I pray thee, who ever perished {H6}, being innocent {H5355}? or where {H375} were the righteous {H3477} cut off {H3582}?

"Think back: what innocent person has perished? Since when are the upright destroyed?

Consider now, I plead: Who, being innocent, has ever perished? Or where have the upright been destroyed?

Remember, I pray thee, who ever perished, being innocent? Or where were the upright cut off?
